For All of You
I did decide to keep her. And it is a "her", btw. I was right; I didn't go back and change anything.
Anyway, I'm posting this for all of you who still care. Yes I'm going to be a mother. I'm okay wi th that; actually, I love this about me. I'm going to be a mom! How many people can say this? How many of you can say you're going to give birth to my offspring?
What else? Well, I briefly fell in love again, but he shot me down once I told him what was happening inside me. No big deal; figured that would happen. Other than that I've just been doing the stripping thing. It's okay... it'll be better once I give birth and I can focus on school again, you know?
Anyway... I'm still around. Just really busy!!!

Shannon: Lots of us care about you, please don't doubt that. Life is a bitch for everyone sometimes but you seem to be finally looking on the bright side. This will work out and your baby will bring real happiness to you! :)
Shannon,
It's great to hear from you!
I know two women who were single moms and did a great job even though they were younger than you. I think you have everything in you to be a great mom, too.
Two important things about being a single mom. The child is paramount. Boyfriends usually have problems with this. You'll eventually find someone who will be good for the both of you. (It may not be a guy.)
The other thing is that your daughter will become one of your best friends ever after they grow up. It's neat how that works out.
The closeness of the attachment of single moms and their children is something that isn't talked about much. It is a really special relationship.
Best of luck!

There is plenty of us that still care shannon. More than you think i am sure. Anyone that won't take you due to you being pregnant isn't worth worrying over.
I will also point out that i, personally, think pregnant women are very attractive. Just a shame we'll not get to see that :p.
Take care shannon, i am glad you're still about. Was worrying. If you get a chance i'm sure we'd all love to see more of TTT. And i'm happy to proofread again.

So she -is- still alive! That's good news, I doubt I was the only one worrying their for that nonposting time.
I suppose the advise we can give is almost run-out. You know what you want, you've made your decisions, and I suppose that the most we can do now is the most any distant friend can do as we fall into support mode. Take care of yourself and I look forward to more of ya, be it in blogs or TTT episodes. :)

You know, my grammar amazes me at times, and not in positive ways. -shakes head in shame- *There, not their. Grrr.

Shannon,
This is Belshon, I know I don't hang around much but I do watch whats going on with you. I have a few comments to make. (and a hush falls over the room.... LOL)
1. Most importantly, CONGRATULATIONS!!! This is wonderful news to me. I am so glad your keeping it.
2. I was raised by a single mom. I was born in the 1950's when such things were not very public. She made the tough choice, just like you did, and I think she was a great mom. She had a tough time with her parents, incest, abuse etc but she did great. Just like YOU will.
3. Be true to yourself and your convictions and it should work out OK. remember there is someone for you out there. It might take some time.
4. You are awesome and I support you completely. If there is anything a good ole boy from the NorthWest can do, let me know.

Great to hear from you and Congrats on the little girl! keep positive, and if the guys can't keal with a woman having a child, those are boys, not men, and women have men in their lives, not boys.
Take care of yourself, and have fun!
Love, redbarron77
Shannon,
I am glad you are still around. and i am happy you want to keep the baby. i hope you wont mind a few suggestions. =)
1) as a single mom, you will have a lot of responsibilites. take care of them first, then your wants.
2) you will have sleepless nights, and without a hubby/boyfriend there you will be stressed ALOT. just do your best and life will work out =)
3) as people has said, baby first, b/f later.
4) I hope your housemate(star?) knows about this and that you intend on keeping the baby. she will be affected atleast by the noise a baby makes =)
5) you now HAVE tobe VERY VERY careful about what you do. but in the end it's howyou chooseto do things not what anyone else thinks. =)
6) I WISH you luck and will be by your side in spirit if needed =) always looking to hear from you again =)
keep posting
Glad to hear you made up your mind on that. You know you could do very well in the next 3-4 months before you actually show enough to stop stripping. If I were you, I'd save up as much as you can, and work as much as you can, both in the club and out of it, so that when you finally give birth, you'll have enough money to stay home with the little guy/girl for a while. Save save save. Hope everything works out for you!
I've never posted here before, but I have been following your antics with some interest for the past several months. So take my comments at face value... that's all their worth.
You have chosen a difficult path to follow. That is by not taking the appropriate precautions in the first place, I do not believe in termination as a form of birth control.
I truely wish you and your daughter to be the very best in health an life.
Please please please make sure that do the following:
1) eat right -- your baby needs to be nourished. Including the prenatal vitamins
2) stay away from drugs and alcohol
3) see your OB/GYN for regular prenatal visits
4) when you are not working, rest
5) use protection, it doesn't matter how much you are offered, your baby needs you to be around
6) save save save... the little buggers are more expensive than you can imagine
Congratulations on the little girl. The bond between mother and child is one of the strongest things there is, but the bond between a single mother and her child is even stronger. I know my mom has done a great job raising me by herself, and I would kill for her. I gotta tell ya though dating will be alot harder, i hope u will meet a guy that absolutely adores children, and who can help support u.
Lots of love,
B-rad
i kinda stumbled on here but i know what you're going through i'm 20 wks and i'm 19 and i have no clue how i'm going to stay in school and take care of a child but i have faith that i can do it and that's all you need
Shannon.....
I'm so happy for you, been not the best of months for me either...but that you seem to be well atuned to this is good. You're outlook is everything, and it seems so good. Your loyals have been pulling for you, and I don't feel that will change any time soon.
Neo.....
Well Shannon, I cant say much that hasnt been said already. I'll just repeat the most important comments.
That your 'Loyals' as Neo reffered to us are pulling for you, and Pop prenatal vitamins like no ones buisness. And eat an uber balanced diet! And for god's sake no cigarettes. Your a tiny woman, and Im betting you'll have a tiny daughter...but smoking while pregnant could make her deathly small.
:;Sigh:: I love pregnant women. And I'd like too pass myself off as knowledgable about the whole pregancy thing...5 younger siblings, scores of younger cousins...and once upon a time I was an expectant father as well. Saddly, I lost both my child and my fiance to a car crash...
I dont talk about that much...the years have helped to dull the pain, but its still a sore subject...
Anyways, all my best thoughts for you and your daughter.

First of all, congratulations! I know it's a bitter-sweet kind of thing, but you should concentrate on all the positives that it brings.
Now, all that aside, if after all this mess, you're still interested in the medical school track, I can at least give you some tips on how to get in.
I hate, hate, hate, hate, hate to even suggest this, but it's something that Shannon should consider.
Currently, she's stripping for money. That probably means that there's at least a little prostitution going on, in some form or another. It also means that she's out there for the world to see in a strip club.
With those two things in mind, she should seriously consider doing Internet stuff. It's safer because there's no physical contact. The stuff winds up out there, but it's out there in a form anyway because she's stripping as it is. Second, she'll probably make a lot more money at it than she is stripping. It's worth a try, and the supplemental income might mitigate any urge to go above and beyond the call of simply stripping, as it were.
DM - your reply raises a question, and you might be more knownledgable on the subject then I, but what kind of money are you referring to with the internet.
I would seem to me with all of those thousands of sites out there, how would she be able to channel it into such a profitiable venture, making hers return the rewards she would need. (yes I was taking into consideration her already existing contact base, and the knownledge that a great many of them would be interesting in seeing her.)
That of course is a very good question, Neo. Let's say that she charges $20 per month. If she has 10 subscribers, that's 200. If she has 100, that's $2000. Frankly, I think that with her current fan base, her web site, etc., she might be able to make a good supplement. It wouldn't be something that would totally support her, I don't think, but it might be a good supplemental income. I don't know where exactly Shannon lives, but even $1000 per month extra income for probably comparatively little work might be something she'd be interested in. All that said, if she's managing to pull in $250 a night stripping alone or something, then this probably doesn't make much sense.
As for the Website, they can be very profitable. I have helped some friends in the amateur adult website niche and they make upwards of $5000 a month. Friends of mine even make close to $20,000 a month and its completely an ameteur setup. I know for one that if she were to set a site up, I'd gladly pay. In fact, I tried to contact her last year to see if she wanted to be a creative director for a site we were working on. I never heard back from her though. Offer would still be open if she was interested.
It's good to hear from you again. As always, best wishes and take care of yourself. I'm sorry to say I have absolutely no advice to offer as I'm completely clueless around babies so uh... my only advice is to do what all those more knowledgeable than yours truly are suggesting and look out for yourself. All the best and I hope everything works out for you!
Dan
