I’m Alive!

It’s a miracle! Making a post on tumblr?? More likely than you think.

So, I know I disappeared. Like completely off the grid. Sorry about that. In my defence I have a pretty good reason which is... I had a baby!

Around Christmas, I felt like something was off as I hadn’t had my period in three months. It wasn’t unusual for me to miss one or even two months, however I just felt like there was something different this time, so after the third month I decided to go buy some tests just to be sure. Sure enough, it was positive. The first thing I did was tell my boyfriend, who is the father. Obviously neither one of us was ecstatic about having a baby so young, but we couldn’t exactly go back in time and fix it. We decided to go to the doctor before telling anyone else, to figure out how far along I was and if I was pregnant at all. When we got there, we found out that I was actually 12 weeks pregnant already, and they immediately scheduled me for a 16 week appointment where we could find out the gender of the baby if we wished to and told me that because of my age, they would want me to come in fairly often during my pregnancy just to ensure the safety of both me and the baby if I continued with the pregnancy.

We did consider other options, like abortion or adoption, but I just couldn’t bring myself to give my baby up and we decided to keep it. We went to our 16 week appointment and the doctor told us that the baby was doing fine, and that we were having a little boy! After this appointment, we finally told our friends and family about the pregnancy. Most reactions were good, although my parents were very much less than thrilled and I ended up going to live with Treyvin and his family, which worked since they were the only house with an extra room that eventually became the baby’s nursery. I won’t bore you with other small details about the pregnancy, but I will say that the moment it really became real was when I felt the baby kick for the first time. Like obviously I was aware that I had a baby growing inside of me, but the first kick just hit me because I could finally feel the little human moving around inside of me.

I gave birth to Arlo Duke on June 13, a little under a month after my 2 year anniversary with Treyvin. He was 3 weeks early and weighed 5lbs 13oz, and he is the most perfect thing I have ever seen in my life. Obviously life with an almost 1 month old baby is very busy, and the sleep is scarce, but it is one of the best things I have ever experienced in my life. Treyvin is an amazing father, he’s been the best I could ask for ever since we found out about the pregnancy and I wouldn’t want to do this with anyone else.

So yeah, that’s where I’ve been for the past year almost. I obviously can’t be online all the time, but I am going to do my best to run this blog again. So I’m back!! Now you can all cry in disappointment.

Humboldt Strong

I don’t even know where to begin with this post.

I know that I’ve been super MIA lately, and that this post is coming late compared to many others. I took a break from Tumblr in order to take care of my mental health, and as I was preparing to come back, a tragedy occurred that required my attention over anything else.

As many of you might already know, on April 6 there was a bus crash in Saskatchewan that has killed 16 at the time I’m writing this (April 12). The bus was carrying the Humboldt Broncos, a team from the SJHL, who were on their way to a playoff game when they were involved in a T-bone collision with a semi truck.

Two of those killed have connections to my hometown. The coach, Darcy Haugan, is the nephew of the guy who runs our local arena. The other is Conner Lukan, who grew up an hour away. Conner was someone who, even if you didn’t know him well, everyone liked. He just gave off the vibes of someone you want to be friends with. Nothing has broken my heart more than waking up to see his name among those killed on the bus. In Canada, it’s such a normal thing for kids to load onto the hockey bus and trust the drivers to get them where they need to go. After I saw the news, I texted all of my friends to remind them, especially the ones that take frequent bus rides for sports, that I love them because this just shows that you never know when it’s going to be you. I hope Heaven is happy with the 16 beautiful angels it’s gained, because they’re going to be sorely missed down here.

Please go donate something to their GoFundMe account. We have already raised 9 million dollars, and it will all go to the families of the victims.

Rest easy boys, you will always be in our hearts. 💛💚

Dear teen girls,

Stop abusing your boyfriends and yes what you are doing is abuse.

Stop:

Yelling at him in front of his friends 

Hitting or slapping him when he does or says something you don’t like

Telling him he doesn’t have a choice when it comes to decisions that involve both of you 

Telling him he can’t hang out with friends because you don’t like him

Telling him to not talk to other girls even if they are his friend

Forcing him to spend every moment with you 

Belittling him and pointing out all his flaws

Calling him stupid or making fun of him for making a mistake

Threatening to break up with him if he doesn’t do what you want

Being emotionally manipulative and crying until he does what you want

Accusing him of cheating every time he’s not with you

Blow up is phone if he doesn’t text you every five minutes 

Telling him you are the must thing that has ever happened to him and no one else will love

Physically attacking him when ever you are mad

Forcing him to have sex despite that fact that he said he didn’t want to

Invading his privacy by going through his phone

Getting mad at him for changing his password and demanding he tell you what it is

If a guy did any of these things to a girl it would be considered abuse but since its the other way around its considered normal. Throughout High school I saw many girl treating their boyfriends like shit. Sometime even physically abusing them in the hallways and no one trying to stop it because its a girl attacking a boy. 

Boys: If your girlfriend does anything on this list leave her. It is abuse and you deserve better.

Girls: if you find your self doing anything on this list to your boyfriend you need to knock it off because you are being abusive.

Feel free to get attached to particular hockey players. Feel free to get attached to certain teams. Just don’t get attached to particular players being on certain teams because that will end your life. Just don’t do it.
