Most Memorable Day of My Life
The day my daughter was the born was the first day of the rest of my life. Although I was 22 when I had Camri, I still had a lot of growing up to do. I had to figure out my game plan for life, my career choice, and being a single mother. I knew the one thing I could count on was the support of my family and the few friends I had. The amazing thing is that I never had the thought that I couldn’t handle being a mother or being overwhelmed. I automatically knew what to do and I knew I would be ok.
It seemed like my thinking process changed instantly. When we walked through our front door I left my problems at the mat and it was all for her. I just couldn’t stop thinking about how amazing her life would be and everything I was going to teach her. I have extreme OCD, which I’m medicated for, so that was a challenge because I needed everything to be perfect for her. Realizing that life was full of bullshit was learned within the first few weeks of me being a mother.
While I was pregnant I started to study for the Hesi exam because I knew I was interested in the nursing field. First thing to do was for me to obtain my home healthcare certificate so I could go back to work faster, but after me doing that for about a month or so I hated it. When Camri was two months old I went and took my Hesi exam and I did really well!! I was happy because I had studied so hard and long, and I saw the rewards right in front of me. Once I took that test and enrolled into school I knew I was on the right track. Between then and now I have ran into a few obstacles, but as you can see I made it back and I couldn’t be happier.
Camri’s father and I were together at the time, but things were really rocky and we technically didn’t live together so thing were a little harder for me. They weren’t hard in the sense of me not knowing how to deal with my daughter, they were hard because I was lonely and I wanted that father daughter interaction with them. The one thing I could always

    Who would have thought that I'd become a mother at sixteen years old? I certainly did not. A lot changed from the time I found out I was pregnant, to the time I gave birth. I found out I was pregnant on a cold, snowy day. As scared as I had been, I knew that it was time to be responsible and make the best of my upcoming situation. Fifteen weeks had passed and, finally, I found out that my bundle of joy is, in fact, a girl! About five weeks later, I decided to go shopping for baby girl clothes, a crib, and a car seat. By that time, I had been twenty-five weeks along in my pregnancy, and I was ever so anxious to meet my daughter. Luckily, I had school and babysitting to distract me and help pass the time. Next thing that I knew, It was time for…

    I knew that everything would be different once I became a mother. My relationship at the time was rocky and I was contemplating leaving before I found out. With the knowledge that we were about to have a baby together, I told myself it was time to get serious and make sure I was putting in 100% before I just walked away. I buckled down and gave it my all, not for me, but for the child that deserved two parents if it could happen.…

    It felt great remembering all those silly little things that I hadn’t thought about in a long time. In fact, it was nice to relax and have “me time” period. It’s very true how people don’t have enough time to just sit around and have some time to themselves. I can only imagine how parents or newlyweds who just had a baby feel. It’s like you have all this time to yourself, you can watch TV, take a nap, go do your nails and hair and then all of a sudden you’re responsible for another human being. All that “alone time” you once had is now gone and your focus is around that baby that is depending on you to bath it, feed it, change it, love it… it’s a massive responsibility that you have to be willing to take on. I’m lucky because I don’t have those responsibilities just yet. I get to live my life, I get to go to school, hang out with my friends, go out to parties and just be…

I am constantly having to stress about making sure she has clothes on her back and food in her mouth. I also have to make sure she has a baby sitter while I am at work and school.

    I can still remember the day the doctors told me I was pregnant. That immediate sense of fear swallowed me whole and time seemed to stand still. It was not until a couple of months later that I realized there was no changing the situation and that I needed to make the very best of it. Finding out I was pregnant started out as a very scary experience but ultimately was one of the most positive and rewarding experiences I have ever endured. After the fear settled a little bit I was able to really start thinking about my life and what I needed to change. Up until that day at the doctors I was living day by day doing what I needed to do for me and no one else. I had no job, I was living with my parents and my only source of excitement came from the local bar rooms late at night. I knew things needed to change and I set out on a mission to make that change happen. Alone and afraid I was able to swallow my pride and ask my family for help and the guidance to get my life back on track before this baby entered our world. All through my pregnancy I knew I loved my unborn son more than I have ever loved anything in this world. I knew that my life was no longer mine…

    When I first saw my baby he was all wrapped up in a stiff white blanket with footprints from all colors of the rainbow. His eyes were closed because his cheeks were so puffed up that they kept him from being able to open them up. His face resembled a red puffy marshmallow. His head was so long and narrow it almost reminded me of a little alien head. He had a full head of curly golden sandy brown hair. His nose was small as could be. It was like a little button nose. He had the smallest little mouth but that didn’t stop him from making the loudest noise.…
