Road to Motherhood

I'm just like any other woman, I want to have a baby. I may be a quadriplegic after a spinal cord injury but there is no reason that I cannot carry my own child. I need to clear up a few things before going any farther. I was only fourteen when I became a quadriplegic so I was a child. A child that was forced to grow up real fast- too fast in my opinion. I have always felt that I am mentally older than I actually am, even to this day I feel that way. I'm only twenty one but I feel like I'm actually twenty-five or thirty. I know most of you out there reading this are thinking I'm stupid or crazy for wanting to have a baby at twenty one but in my eyes I'm mature enough to handle having a baby of my own. I also know that I'm not able to take care of myself so how could I possibly take care of a baby! I am always thinking the same thing but I just don't know why I cannot get the idea out of my mind. I will not get pregnant now but I'm going to start planning everything. Since everything that's happened in my life I've decided that right now there is just way to much going on to try to have my own child. So I'm giving myself until I'm 25 to get my life together and settled down to start the process of having a baby of my own.
As many of you guys know my caregiver, Jessica, was pregnant
