March 5
i feel like i’ve found a really good family for my daughter. holding it together just like @catelynnlowell did for carly
if only daniel could see i’m doing what’s best for my baby..if he can’t support me through this and tries to stop me — i will break down.
March 7
daniel told me tonight that he wants nothing to do with me and arianna. #ifyouwontstepupsomeoneelsewill.
March 9
Stupid blood sugar! Agh! It’s always getting in the way and making me feel so crappy!
another meeting tomorrow with my adoption agency..super nervous but i cant wait. then therapy! agh i cant wait to just yell everything.
March 10
Emotional meeting with the adoptive parents i really liked last time…so much tears. But it was all okay.
[@LoreleiClarissa The ones with the big dogs? Did you decide to go with them as the adoptive parents? I really hope everything is looking up!] @WTF_Heather87 noooo no no no. haha, a different couple. ive had many meetings since that one. i really like the couple i have right now.
im surrounded by people but feel so alone….time to go home..i just want to cry..i don’t know what’s wrong.
March 12

March 22

March 27
ONE more time EVERYONE: NO! i’m still pregnant, the girls on tonights premiere of 16&pregnant had their babies LAST YEAR. im NOT on there!
@Laners83 well my parents support me..they know im too young to raise a baby..they’ve been solid love and support, and im blessed for that
@haelieBriauna not this season but next, yes. you may see catelynn too because she’s been helping me a lot
March 30
my friends planned a surprise baby shower for tomorrow…but i just found out…..does anyone else think this isnt really a good idea….?..
I don’t think it’s a good idea to go today..but i can’t just not show up. This is going to be difficult.
April 1
[@LoreleiMTV How did yesterday go? Are you matched yet? Still praying for you!] @careymarin it went well i suppose, i cried alot! It’s so stressful. No, net yet, but i don’t have long to go now. Are you free later? Xo
daniel just dumped me and called me a filthy whore..he said that he hopes the worst happens to arianna and i. …i’m heart broken.
April 2
[If @LoreleiMTV decides to keep her angel then I think each of her followers should send her a gift supporting her.
update: i’m in the hospital because i’m just not feeling okay..i’ve been really dizzy to the point where i can’t even stand up and i keep having pains in my belly that come and go. i’ve been here since last night but my doctors are saying that it is not labor, so thank goodness for that. Ari’s okay..and they are thinking it’s a mix between my blood sugar and hydrocephalus? water/spinal fluid in my brain..it’s a mess but i’ll update as much as possible.
@careymarin i love you guys
@careymarin low blood sugar is causing the dizziness..spinal fluid and water build up in my head (hydrocephalus)is causing the headaches and the pain in my belly is baby ari just letting me know i need to rest and not let my anxiety cause so much stress
April 4
Haven’t felt ari move around at all today..i don’t like feeling so uncomfortable. ..ive gotten sick 4 times today. But im allowed to go home
Emotionally drained. I think i should turn to Catelynn but I don’t want to be a bother. Just a few more weeks and ari will be here..
[Catelynn Lowell} @LoreleiClarissa please contact me! I DM u my number I would love to talk and help you! You’re not a bother
April 5
@jenn_scroggins
Hi from work! How is everyone!?? Ari doesn’t like it at all.
@jenn_scroggins aaaggh yes! Its so bad. Hurts to walk ): but im on break right now
@careymarin she hates it ..i work at a target store here
Its crazy knowing my pregnancy and personal life is being documented to help others know how hard this is.. ..finally off work! Wooohoo 🙂
I love how me and daniel can fight..but when i ask him to go out and buy oreo’s and peanut butter..he will. ..if ari wants it, he’ll get it.
Reeeeeally craving oreo’s and peanut butter 🙂 haha. ..but im tired of being pregnant..i just want to feel better.
@jenn_scroggins its a great feeling..we’ve been broken up, havent said a word to eachother in weeks! But he’ll go out and get snacks for me
@jenn_scroggins don’t be..he said really awful things..he doesn’t like my choice in adoption.. ..but i’m due may 16th
April 6
Ari says hello and good morning! Shes kicking me sooo much this morning. It kind of hurts to be honest.
@careymarin she moves around so much, i do think she’s turned already though, i go see the doctor today
heading to the doctors right now for ultrasounds and a check up of how ari is doing
So we found out today that arianna is breeched..and it’s really scary. And i might need a c-section. I don’t want that! ..talk about pain.

tomorrow is the day…
May 24
ari is with her new family. and ive decided to delete my twitter.
May 25
i appreciate all the support but taking my pictures, writing on them, and putting them all over fansites without consent hurts.
May 26
thinking about arianna.. );
May 27
@C_LeeeeXo she’s okay as far as i know..she’s with her adoptive parents..
@JennaChelle7 i just pray she knows i love her..i don’t want her to think i didn’t want her..because it took everything to give her up..
May 29
checked my email……i have pictures of arianna from Kenny and Lindsey (her adoptive parents)
@KGillmore to be honest ive cried myself to sleep every night..its sohard and i keep telling myself that she’s going to hate me so its getting to the point where im starting to believe what im saying
im really going to stop bugging catelynn now
May 31
ari’s adoptive parents surprisingly called to tell me they’re taking her to the emergency room! )’;
June 1
arianna has a heart rhythm disorder..her heart beats about 220 times every minute..she wouldn’t calm down for anyone but me..
i think im getting Ari back…her adoptive parents think it is best for her.
if i let anyone down i am nothing but sorry. this is a choice ari’s adoptive parents made on their own i had no clue.
i refuse to let arianna down. she needs me and wont calm down for anyone but me. i can’t walk away right now.
June 2
arianna is doing okay; she has surgery scheduled for tonight but they allowed me to take her home to see some visitors
[@LoreleiClarissa I can’t express how happy I am for u,ibet they will save ur show 4last since its gonna be emotional but have a happy ending] @MyMarineIsSexy thank you
June 2
this experience has been so…emotionally and physically draining. #stayingSTRONG.

At the time of this post there is still no further update on Arianna’s surgery, although the photo of Arianna at the top of this post was added June 4. I will try to add it to the end of the Twitter timeline as soon as we have it.
*** I should point out that we haven’t been able to confirm whether or not Lorelei is actually going to be on 16 and Pregnant. She has shared a couple photos of film crews, but they don’t appear to be MTV (especially not the photo of a camera crew on a cold beach – that is definitely not an MTV 16 and Pregnant crew) HEre’s the photo:
Usually we wait until we can verify a potential cast member before creating a post, but Lorelei’s story was so stunning we felt we should share it. (We were first made aware of Lorelei as a prospective season 4 cast member a number of months ago, but obviously her due date made that an impossibility.)
It seems very strange that Lorelei would make the claim that her episode will be the Season 5 finale. Not only it that a decision MTV usually doesn’t make until just before the season airs, but also it is the kind of information cast members are forbidden to divulge by their contracts.
Please understand that me pointing out Lorelei has yet to be verified as a cast member of the fifth season of 16 and Pregnant does not in any way diminish the potency of her story! Our thoughts are with her and her daughter Arianna and we hope they are able to make it through this very tough time.
