Reflection Paper On My Son

I have always wanted kids; however, I never planned to have them so young. I guess life does not always go according to plan though. For me, motherhood began in September of 2013, my son David was born. He completely changed my world, as well as everything in it. He was perfect, sweet, not to mention he smelled so great! Since that day I have realized what is important in my life. Before kids, having many friends, nice clothes, and going to parties were what seemed most significant to me. However, I did not see just how life changing diving into motherhood would be.

As I have mentioned it in my earlier posts, Life teaches you everyday. Shortly after our marriage, I conceived my older one. Okay don't judge me, but I really enjoyed my pregnancy. I enjoyed every moment of those months especially being my husband's utmost priority.

I could not help but think that I may forget and leave her in the car, or rush out the house and leave her home alone. I know that may sound crazy, but I always doing things that. I remember my mom telling me everyday that if my head was not already attached to my body, I would lose it. It's crazy because in health class we did the whole egg baby project, and needless to say I left my poor little defenseless baby egg on the school. Since that day, everyone would always tell me that a baby would not be for me. But regardless of how I felt, this baby was coming into this world whether I wanted it too or not. I have no choice but to grow up, accept responsibility and get prepared. So instead of relaxing and hanging out friends, I went to college and work and saved the money to prepare for the few months that I could not work.

The excitement of the birth, the few weeks afterwards, and the love I feel towards my daughter reminds me of all the 25 years that have passed. It feels good to embrace these moments all over

After talking to Angela Figi, i felt finally we were going to have the family i never had and prayed for. The day he was born was amazing and a bit scary. Like most woman

August 21, 2015 my first godchild child was born 6 pounds 9 ounces at 10:53pm a salubrious baby girl her mother designated her Avaih. To be the first person to hold her I felt as she was like my own. August 23rd We left the hospital, When we conclusively made it home a few hours later

It was July 6, 2015, I woke up at 4:45 a.m it was time to get ready and go to the hospital. I was having my baby boy today! I needed to be at the hospital between 5 and 5:30 to be induced. I was so nervous, but I had carried my baby boy for 9 months and I was ready to finally hold him.

The day that changed my life forever was August 15, 2014; the day my identical twin brothers Landen and Brayden were born. They were born at 2.2 lbs., premature, and when they were in the womb, they had a condition known as twin to twin transfusion syndrome. In my brothers' case, Landen was the donor twin, and Brayden was the recipient twin. There was less than a fifty percent chance that the surgery required to save both of them would be successful. My parents decided to go for the surgery and attempt to save them both. Fortunately, the operation was successful, and they were both saved.

I was so nervous there were a thousand thoughts running through my head like, “What if I am how are we going to get along?” “How would my family feel about me being pregnant?” and “How’s his family going to take it?” I forgot to mention that my baby’s father is full blood Salvadorian and I was his only African-American baby’s mother. So that was another obstacle we were going to have to face when it came down to meeting each other’s parents for the first time.

Being a young mother makes it more difficult to understand becoming an adult and raising a child all at the same time. However, it is possible to handle both aspects of life if you have the right attitude but it does require patience. The people that have known me knows very well that patience was something I had to learn. This is what it was like for me to cope with the difficulties of being a young mother. Many people judge others on becoming young mothers. Obviously, those who are not parents themselves are usually the ones who are criticizing teenage parents. In my opinion, I was well on my way at the age of seventeen, although I was fresh out of high school, I began working with American

I woke my boyfriend up and called my mother and we rushed to the hospital. I was nervous and excited at the same time. After eight hours of labor, the baby wasn’t cooperating at all. I wouldn’t dilate past eight and I already had three epidurals. I was in so much pain. After being in labor for twenty three hours, the doctors said it was time for a cesarean. I was so scared. All of a sudden, I heard my son screaming. My heart melted and I couldn’t keep the tears from coming. That was the best moment of my life. Justin and I named our son, Bentley Michael McCartney. He weighed eight pounds and thirteen ounces and he was twenty one inches tall. He was beautiful and healthy. Seeing my son made me realize that I was now an adult and I would be the best mother I possibly could be.

months later I found out I was pregnant with my son. I was so very excited! I had hoped I

My support system was good and I was ready to take care of my child. I grew up without my father he was in and out my life. So I told myself if I ever had a child I would be forever present and be a damn great provider. As I held my little bundle of joy so many thoughts run through my mind, life is about to change for me.

June 25, 2015 is the day my life changed for the better. My family welcomed a dog into my family for the first time. My brothers and I begged my parents for years for a dog and the day it finally happened, I was shocked. Being told for years that I wasn’t responsible enough to take care of a dog, I couldn’t wrap my head around the thought of having one. Puppies are a lot of work, and I never understood that, it was like adding a new person into the family. As soon as the dog entered the house, the household turned into a completely different environment.

The baby's arriving is one of the happiest times for a new parent, but can be very stressful. The parents do have different responsibilities; it
