I agree with aimee, a dog is a good idea. I just got one and it was very stressful, and it's only a dog! Plus, correct me if i'm wrong, it sounds like this hasn't been very planned yet and is more spontaneous. You really need a lot of thinking and planning before having a child. You guys are so young; you may regret it later. My friend chose to have a child at 18 just because she wanted to feel loved by the baby, and yes, she worked through it, but it wasn't the best for the kid or for her. She totally loves him and her new baby, but she also hasn't been in the most stable condition for her children. Also, being so young, your love relationship isn't set in stone. It may be, but a lot can change. And if there's a break up that can be really hard having a kid with someone. So it's your choice, but really talk it through with someone who's been there.
