October 1, 2019- I Got Issues

          First off even though I do not expect anyone to read this, I'm Alyssa and I'm eighteen years old. I was born six weeks early and was a troublesome pregnancy for my mother who was twenty-six at the time. My mother was working at Safe Way in Half Moon Bay, California at the time and thought that she was just getting fat. She had always been an athlete so the first thing to come to mind was to work off this stress weight. Turns out she was pregnant. Four months into her pregnancy with me she began feeling a pain in her abdomen and realized something was wrong and went to the hospital. My mom was in labor with me at four months and the doctors decided to keep her on bed rest and in the hospital for almost the rest of the pregnancy along with a plethora of medications. At seven months she was able to leave bed rest to go get married to my father at Harvey's casino in Lake Tahoe. This would later turn out to be a horrible decision but that's another topic for anoth
