The Beginning is Always a Accident: Baby 1

That's me! Obviously! I'm Corey Sea, I live in Moonlight Falls and I'm going to be a mother of 100....Though I didn't know it at the time of this photo. Or any in this post for a matter of fact, but any who this is my blog where I will be recording my 100 baby challenge. So I guess should tell you how it all started, so here we go...
_________________________________________________________________________________

I woke up in the morning feeling pretty sick, I had actually been waking up the last 4 days sick... so I vomited and decided to call my doctor to see if she could fit me in at a time slot. Sure enough she could fit me in at the next 30 minute time but not later in the day, so feeling awful I took the spot.
I rushed over, though it was barley dawn yet...Little did I know, what I walked out with would start me on my challenge.
The diagnosis, which you have probably guessed by now, is that I was pregnant. Though you knew already, I was very surprised to be pregnant, and a bit horrified that it was my boyfriends baby....well that is pretty obvious ... no don't even think it... I had planned on breaking ties off with him, but how was I to do that now...and still raise a baby as single parent, with no job...

I sighed, not knowing the answer to that, and ran to the book store to grab some books my doctor said would help with preparing for this new kid. 
I grabbed some of the recommend books, drove home, and hopped in bed. 

***A week later***
I'm in my second testimester now and I can't fit in my normal cloths now, even though the bump in still little.
My doctor recommended that I try to work out a little every day for the next month but I get winded quickly so I don't think its gonna last long after the month is up.
Any ways, I had made plans to meet my boyfriend, Gary Schiller, at the Summer Festival and announce the news to him about his new baby. He has 2 other kids from a previous marriage but I don't think he sees them much. 
I got to the Festival and quickly found him...I don't know why he was singed and in his underwear ... but I quickly told him the news only to be met with a raging Gary. 
He was disgusted by the news and had a fit right there in the park. He yelled at me, and then stormed off. I would tell you what he said but I'm afraid I'm going to just censor the one-sided conversation. I went home pissed and scared, not sure of what to do next.

***7 months later***
Its been a short 7 months after being cussed out by Gary, I assumed we where done with and so I spent most of my time reading about babies, and cooking. I'm not a very good chief, Microwavables are my specialty. 
During the seven months I had also adopted a cat. I had heard a pitiful sound coming from out side only to find this dirty grey she-cat sitting in my yard. She came over to me so I picked her up, which she let me and she went limp when i did. I later learned she was part Ragdoll, so that explains that. I fumbled with her tattered collar only for her to jump out of my hands and run off towards the forest.
I started to follow but then I thought maybe she was going home as there is a neighborhood on the other side of the small forest. I watched he go till she vanished behind some trees and I went inside.
I took a bath before going to bed. 

***The next morning** 
I got up the next morning and got the mail and sent some bills to be paid. When I closed the mailbox door and looked out at my lawn, I noticed that little grey cat under a bush in my yard. 
I walked over and she woke up but instead of running away she just sat there and looked at me. I knelt down and petted her for a little while. She was the sweetest cat I had ever met, so i tested weather she would let me pick her up completely or not and she seemed perfectly chill through the whole thing so i went ahead and scooped her into my arms.
I took her inside and placed her in the office. 
"Don't worry kitty, I'll get you some stuff to play with this afternoon." I muttered to her and then I walked out closing the doors behind me so she didn't follow.
I got dressed and went to the only pet store in Moonlight Falls, not really sure what all a cat needs I grabbed a dog bed, a toy that hangs on the wall, a food bowl, a few cans of cat food and a new collar for the poor thing.
I didn't feel like heading home the and  was sure the cat would be fine while I was gone so I stopped at the Summer Festival and some how Bradly Perin convinced me to enter the hotdog eating contest with him and some of his co-workers...These people have issues with running around burned and in their underwear...
I only made it through about 5 hot dogs before throwing them up and was disqualified.... So I went home and set up cat stuff.

I think she was pretty happy with the stuff and she played for about a hour on that feather thing so I may need to get another one while I'm out next.
I had also gotten the room for the baby set up and its all pretty now. Though I keep it pretty gender neutral  I still like it a lot.

***Another month later***
Well the last month has been pretty calm, I have spent most of my time with the new cat who I decided to name Dumpling, because she reminds me of a chicken dumpling. I am also only about 2 weeks away from my due date, so i am making arrangements for Dumpling in case anything happens and it is necessary for me or my baby have to stay at the hospital.
I started taking her outside for a while and I got the cranky old lady next door (she has many cats) to help me train her to do her business outside as i am hopeless to train her to use a litter box or how to go outside...she is my first pet ever so i don't really know what I'm doing when it comes to caring for a animal.
The lady next door had called while we were out side one night and said that i could go swimming and just leave Dumpling out on the patio while I swim as she probably won't go anywhere. (Note to self: Watch out for stalker lady next door). 
I got in the pool for a bit. But about 15 minutes later I see Dumpling dash off the patio towards the forest. I scrambled out of the pool and waddled across the yard to try and catch her, but I was to big too go very fast to catch up to her. I walked home and got dressed really then went back into the backyard.
I walked through the forest calling for Dumpling, but I knew it was pretty hopeless as I hadn't really tried to teach her, her name yet. Depressed I walked back home and set out a bowl of food and water on the porch hoping she would come back like she did the day I found her in my front yard. After waiting for a few hours I finally went to bed at 3am. 
*** More time goes by***
Its been about 2 weeks since Dumpling ran off into the woods. I am a day away from being due and so I'm spending that day putting posters up around the Summer Festival. Though I'm constantly aware that I could go into labor 'any minute possible' as the doctor put it. I had this horrible back pain most of the week and had scheduled to just go ahead and stay in the hospital till the baby was born as I could hardly do anything for myself anymore my back hurt so bad. I finished putting up my poster and waddled towards my car.
I had just gotten to the sidewalk when the horrible pain of labor struck through my body. I flinched and tried not to scream in agony but that didn't happen. A lady with a small child near by saw and rushed over to help get in to the car. She even drove me to the hospital and stayed with me during the entire birth while her husband came and picked up their son. I had to stay in the hospital for the night but I soon learned the lady who stayed with me lived down the street from my house and her name was Kyle Liphen. She was super nice and could simpathyz with my pain of losing Dumpling, she and her husband own a cat rescue and have had several cats escape when their son accidentally left the gate to the cat yard open, 2 they never found.
Before I knew it the next morning was here and I proudly walked out of the hospital with baby #1: Abby Sea. Though I didn't know I Would end up doing the 100 baby challenge nor that Kyle Liphen would be come my best friend and the reason my life changed so drastically  I was still happy with the way life turned out so far. It can only get better from here on, I hope.

Authors note: Yay! My first post! Sorry for cheesyness in this but I need it to work out that way so the plot flows nicely in the next post and that it is so long but it is all needed for the plot to work out.
I would say I will try to post weekly but I'm pretty sure that will not happen as it took me 2 weeks to write this post then another week and a half to get decent photos and I can't even imagen editing all of them so I will say I'll post almost every other Sunday, so every other week. 
Also note that only a few these photos are edited as I'm having trouble with my Photoshop not being compatible with Windows 8, but next post will have all or almost all photos edited so they will look a lot better. 

Thanks for reading!
