writes: Hi, my ex gf is now 21weeks along and we have been on and off for the past month, most of the time we get along but other times we argue like crazy just over baby things, she knows i want to be apart of this babys life full heartedly and would do anything for this baby but shes starting to do things for herself e.g buying baby things without me (when we first agreed id alwayz come along to help) and her new one is that shes picked out a baby gurls name already. (which she still hasnt ran by me about) so what i wanted to ask was two things, 1. Is all this shuting me out side of things to do with the pregnency and how its making her feel or is she just not wanting me around? And 2. Is it normal for the baby to keep my lastname or because my ex and myself have broken up should the baby have her's?

reader, anonymous, writes (1 March 2009): first of all if it wasn't for you she wouldn't have gotten pregnant, which means that you had a part of it then and you should still be apart of it now. Please make sure she doesn't shut you out, because before you know it she'll be going for child support and never letting you see your kid (trust me! been there done that)
i can't answer the first question, but as for the second: it depends on who has sole custody and if you two decide on joint custody then you need to discuss it or do what a lot of people do and hyphen it (ex. Mom's- Dean/ Dad's- Connor = Dean-Connor/Connor-Dean)
Hope all goes well!
