Bust your way into the Cowboys locker room next home game, find locker that says "D. Murray" above it. Take his phone and text your girlfriend "Can I frick u in ur bed tonight?". At least he can afford the child support

Having a kid with somebody does not automatically mean it's a good idea to marry him/her.

Update for those concerned:

She was on the pill. She swears she took it everyday at the same time, so I don't know how this happened. I obviously thought I was covered and that was clearly not the case.

We are keeping the baby. While I'm not a super religious person, this is the only option i even want to entertain.

She found out the day before her 1st final in her 1L year. This is horrible timing and super stressful. I hope the stress doesn't complicate the pregnancy even more. She's already had to turn down an internship opportunity in DC this summer because of concerns about the pregnancy.

Like I said, I have a job and can make enough money to get us by for a year or two. I don't make a lot (think somewhere in the public school teacher range), but I'll do what I have to and make sure we survive. Time to raise a child/who will watch it during the day are my biggest concerns and fears.

Marriage is also scary because like I said, while our relationship has been fantastic up to this point, we haven't known each other all that long. It looks to be in our future though.

To everyone who has offered advice and kind words

Thanks

Take her pregnancy as an opportunity to get to know her better. It will be like dating, but with WAY more of an intended purpose. Everything is going to be fine, because you already have the out look of a man! By that, I do not mean a male, I mean a real man. Have fun being a father bro. It is fricking awesome!

Best of luck to the OP
But this should be a PSA to all the guys that think the pill is 100% effective. Unless you are ready for a kid, you should at least pull out if you aren't wrapping up.

A female lawyer from Alex was pregnant during her senior year, and commuted from Cenla to LSUBR daily. I think she had the kid right after finals, before the Bar. God knows how she made it. She was married though.

If you do 2/3 of:
1. Be on pill
2. Wear condom
3. pull out

you will be fine. Apparently the OP did 0/3.

She'll be fine. Loyola's law school is a joke, just a notch above Southern, so the work load won't be that bad.

OP, update?


Thanks to everyone who have advice/voiced concerns. There were a few people being douches, but this is the OT after all.

We lost the baby about 10 weeks into the pregnancy, just days after we saw the first ultrasound. It was a very tough pill to swallow, and apparently something a lot more people go through than I realize.

We have decided to go through with the wedding, and will be married at the end of the month. I'm not a religious person at a, but I think life has a way of pushing you in the direction you're supposed to go. I love my fiancé and have grown a tremendous amount from this experience.

Looking forward to marriage and starting a family when the time is right
