Ashlee is now 7 months pregnant. She is now definitely showing. She's supposed to go to the doctor's office later on in the week. Darry is starting to get used to the idea of being an uncle. Codi and me are going to just be friends and it will not go any further that! Ashlee and Codi are getting along better now…meaning they go shopping all the time, which gets annoying.
All of our teachers have been congratulating us but telling us to be more careful in the future, I think we kind of learned out lesson. Maybe not…hope not, I kind of want a big family of my own, but I don't know if Ashlee does, I know she wants a family though. Soda and Sandy got back together, and he told me he was planning on marrying her as soon as he got enough money. After the baby is born, Ashlee and me might move out of the house into a small house or apartment. We talked to Darry about it and he said it would be fine, and if we needed help money wise, he would try to help.
Ashlee and Sandy went shopping for blanket fabric to make a baby blanket. They got pink, white, and grey fabric. Ashlee wanted something to tell and show everybody that we are proud parents of a baby girl, and wanted to put a mature color (gray) in to it. It'll look nice…hopefully. (A/N: I made the baby a girl because girls rule…just kidding!) They also got some clothes for the baby and for themselves. Ashlee's mother gave her some money, and I gave her some. I got a new job at a fancy restraint called Don's Steakhouse. Ashlee goes to eat over there every Friday night.
We had an early baby shower because of everything going on, and so Ash can start getting everything ready for the baby. Darry and his new girlfriend, Samantha, got us a baby crib. Soda and Sandy got a cradle and some baby clothes. The rest of the gang got us a car seat, stroller, and some baby clothes. Ashlee's family got more clothes, and a lot of toys for the baby.
Everyday that goes by, I get more and more scared. I don't want my baby girl have to go through the same types of thongs I've gone through. We comfort each other everyday by saying "I love you". We've been doing it everyday since we found out she was pregnant. Ashlee told me all she wants is the baby to be healthy and for us not to fight. I truly love her, more than I've ever loved anybody. I hope she feels the same.

Ponyboy has been, sweeter, nicer to me. I think he really does love me. Sometimes at night, when the baby kicks me, Pony puts his head on my stomach and rubs it. He talks to the baby like I already had it. I know he's going to be a good father.
Darry said he was sorry about freaking out about me being pregnant. Sandy and me are good friends and we talk about things like clothes and make-up, but I don't know if I can trust her. I can't trust anybody but Pony. Im happy for Sodapop. He deserves to be happy, so does Darrel, Darry, I cant get used to calling him Darry. I think people should be called by their given names, not nicknames.
I cant wait to have this baby, it hurts when she kicks and it might bring me and Ponyboy closer together, at least I hope it will. I love him, I think.
