4.10 Prom and Babies

 1985


Dear diary.. I already hate Wyatt and we only been married for less then four months. He's so squeamish about everything its drives me nuts!  Anyway we been very busy for several months. 




First Cora and I went prom dress shopping.  I got a very good dress.  Then we talked on the way home about stuff. 


A couple of nights later it was the night of prom and everyone who was going had tickets.  IT was eventful.  I just wish Dad hadn't offered to volunteer to chaperone that was so embrassing. . 







The next day Wyatt and I had a quick wedding. And the week afterwards, we had a baby  shower 






Then a couple of days later I gave birth to two beautiful girls: Juliet and Hailey Swanson. The next generation of Swanson family.   I just think something bad will happen in our future. I don't know what, but it will happen. 


It's really exhausting taking care of a baby and I was only 17.  I recently had a birthday so I'm an adult now but at least my parents were helping out. Wyatt certainly wasn't. And it been three months and he's STILL not helping out.

4.9 Worried

1983-1984

Dear diary, I'm kind of concerned about the fact I'm actually am pregnant. I'm only 15 going on 16 years old 


As you know I spend a lot of time with Wyatt my betrothed in the last two three months  It was a rush of actives as we got to know each other better. Espically due to Wyatt's years away at a "boarding school". .  








The last actitvity we did together was took some friends for a camping trip.  IT was great.  Wyatt and I got a bit too curious about woohoo so we ended up woohoing in bed together.  




Recently I been having some kind of weird sickness.   Because I'm already am throwing up a lot. I wonder if it's a somatch bug going around.  But a voice in my head tells me to do a pregnancy test.  So I found one in my parents' room and I took it and waited.  Found out I was pregnant.   I went and started sobbing in the room I share with my sister.  She heard me and came and asked what the problem was. I took her back to the bathroom and showed her.  She was surprised and concerned as I am.






Next day:
I was spending the day with other friends as was Cora.  Once we got back home Elliot sat us both down and told us.. that he knew one of us was pregnant due to the fact he had to get our other brother away from the pregnancy test I left in the main bathroom.   I told him that it was mine and the kid was Wyatt's.  We had a long conversation about it.  In the end Elliot told me, that I needed to tell Mom and Dad and soon. 






The three of us made supper for the rest of the family.  At the supper time we were talking about a bunch of different stuff.  At the end of supper I said "Mom and Dad, I have something to tell you in private"   The parents and I got up and went into grandma's old art studio.  I told them I was pregnant  Dad's face was basically blank,  but Mom was crossed and even asked why we didn't use ..you know.   She did ask if Wyatt knew yet.  I told them no he didn't.



I then called Wyatt.  I guess he goes to bed early since he was very groggery when he answered the phone "'ello, who is this?"    I replied "it's me Elizabeth,  I need to come over and tell you something."   Wyatt asked  "Why can't you tell me whatever it is over the phone?"   I replied "It's really personal for let's say THREE of us."  Wyatt said "Come over.. I will get dressed see you soon". 


I went over to Wood's house and  he was finally awake.  He realized after we hang up that when I said " three of us"  it meant we were pregnant.  At first he didn't believe me until I showed him the test.  We're so young to be parents.  But we decided that we'll keep it.  We haven't told Wyatt's parents yet since we don't know how they'll react.   I them proposed to him-we decided to get married at the end of next school year.

4.8 Wands for Women Only

 

Dear diary.. I'm kind of concerned about my sisters. One of them left a pregnancy test in the shared bathroom with me and our baby brother Julian who is still in elementary school. I had to get him away from it since he thought it was a toy.




This afternoon when my family was all out doing stuff.  Getting romantic etc.  I was suppose to be baby-sitting Julian.  Well he came up to me and kept talking about a "toy" and "in the bathroom"  so be basically dragged me upstairs and pointed to the "toy".  I know it was a pregnancy test.. so I said "No its not a toy.. it's a magic wand."   Julian was like "cool can I use it?"   So I quickly added "It's only works for women.. if you touch it, you could be turned into a mouse like in Roald Dahl's book"  and then flicked his nose. 




I took him outside to get his mind of the "toy" and coached him on swimming. As well as the two of us splashing each other and having a cannonball dive war. (he won).   Ok good my sisters are home now!
