I just turned 21 and have a 2 year old daughter and no way was I ready for a child when she came in to the world. But no matter what, you can never truly prepare for a baby.
The biggest change I made in my life was I quit drinking alcohol. Unfortunately it took me 6 months and I wasnt really around in her newborn days. It saddens me to some extent, but I am here now and I do the best I can.
The downside is I have much more stress. But less depression. If that makes sense. But when depression comes, its the absolute worst, because I cant just lay down all day. I wish I could but I need to look after the toddler or go to work. I cant just sleep. How ever it goes away faster because im forced in to productivity
