School and Parenting

Everyone knows that being a young mother is hard and a lot of work. You know that it can be too much for some and it can lead to hardship. People are so hard on young mothers, as if what she is going through isn't enough on it's own.
When I start my blogs, I don't usually know where I'm going with my thoughts. I just start writing and see where I end up. But today I have felt heavy and I miss my kids. School is such an opportunity and I love my instructor and my class and I am learning so much, however I don't get to spend nearly as much time with Ayla and Marley. Nothing weighs on my heart as much as missing them.
As I go into class this morning, I long for them and I want to call out and go see them. I however am aware that I need to push through. It will be so worth it in the end.
My thoughts in this post are mostly in the realm of helping myself push through. You think you understand true love until you have kids. Only then do you truly get what it is to love someone so completely. I will, have, and am moving mountains for those two little girls and I am determined to see this through.

New Blog

My name is Cierra Trayner, and I am mostly starting this blog for myself. I am 20 years old and have a little girl, Ayla James who is turning one on Monday, April 10. And while she is the light of my life, being a single mom is really hard. This post will be mainly talking about who I am and just a little about my situation. I was in my freshman year of college at Arizona State as a Chemical Engineering major when I found out I was pregnant. I didn't even know until i was 9 weeks (2 months), I thought I simply had a bad case of  the stomach flu. One of my closest friends, Sarah picked me up and was with me when I took the test. When it came up positive she told me about this group she was part of called Younglives ( a subdivision of Younglife for young mommas). She brought me to my first meeting and introduces me to other young moms and helped me a lot through a really hard time. I am not lying when I say that Younglives saved my daughters life. I am the mom I am today because of...

What Would You Do?

I apologize for not posting in a while. The last few weeks have been a lot. I finally contacted Aylas grandparents on her fathers side and they are AMAZING! We are so lucky that they are such kind and generous people. They instantly welcomed Ayla and I into their family and made it clear that I was as welcome as Ayla was. We talked at length and spent time getting to know each other before deciding how we wanted to proceed. It turns out, Aylas father, Seth, never told his parents around Ayla so they were completely shocked when I contacted them. They were angry and hurt but also so excited to meet their granddaughter. Everything has been so crazy since then and my stress level has been unreal... there have been a lot of tears and breaking out and breaking down from everyone involved. Seth and his fiancé just had a bevy, Adella who is only a few weeks old. His parents knew things weren't going to be pretty when he told her the truth but we have all been praying for the best.

Dead Beat Dad

Yesterday was one of the hardest days I have had in a very long time. My heart was completely shattered by Ayla's father, Seth. For a few weeks now, he had made the choice to be in Ayla's life and pay child support and work together with me to raise Ayla so that she had both of her parents in her life. Everything seemed to be going well and we were kind and I even let him meet Ayla. It was only for an hour at a McDonald's, just so he could see her and he and I could have our first face to face interaction since I was 3-4 months pregnant. It was nerve wracking to see him and I had to rein in a lot of harbored anger I had towards him for abandoning us. I had decided that forgiveness was the best way to approach the situation, for Ayla's sake. This man is a runner, so I knew if I confronted him on his inappropriate behavior he would just walk away again. This entire time I have been kind and understanding, and I had made the choice to put the past behind us and try to ev...
