THE DAY MY DAUGHTER WAS BORN Nicole Somers ENG121: English Composition I (ADC1322A)

One Terrific Day 2

March 3, 2011 my beautiful daughter Cheyenne Faith Somers was brought into this world. She had changed my life completely. In this paper, I will establish when my daughter was born, where my daughter was born, and my thoughts after I had my daughter, as well as sharing how having her changed my life. I went to Mon General Hospital March2, 2011 (located in Morgantown West Virginia); due to having contractions. My contractions were only ten minutes apart, and I could not sleep at all. They gave me all the medical assistance I needed at the hospital, then finally at 4:14 am, my perfect little angel Cheyenne was born. I was so relieved, stared into her eyes and thoughts just started rushing in my head, on what to do. In my past, I was a partier. I did drink and experimented with drugs. Becoming a mother made me not interested in those things anymore. I was thinking about how to be the best mom I could be, how to better mine and Cheyenne’s life, and what to do next. I believe this is normal when you have a kid. I took all these thoughts into consideration though. I did not grow up knowing my birth family, I was in foster care. I really did not want that for my daughter. To keep this from happening I continued to think, and wanted to

    Anesthesiologist: A Short Story

    Upon arriving it became obvious the night ahead of us would be long. I had not dilated at all, but my body was in labor. After some time, the doctor hooked me up to I.V. medication to speed up the process. I requested my epidural and the anesthesiologist came. After inserting the epidural, they informed my mother they would be back when they did the c-section on me. My mother did not tell me this until after the delivery. She knew I had prayed, and believed by faith I would deliver Micah naturally. Several medical people had told me I would not deliver my baby naturally due to my size and shape, but I prayed and trusted God would somehow aid me in a natural delivery. I had to go back to work seventeen days after Micah was born.…

    Personal Narrative: How Death Changed My Life

    At 12:30 at night on June 1, 2015, my life would soon change forever. I was pregnant with my first child and my water had just broken. My mom rushed me to the hospital where I was immediately put in a private room, in the hospital bed where I was about to deliver my first child, a son. He came so quickly (5 & 1/2 hours in total) and I had requested no pain medications and turned it down on several occasions as the medical staff pleaded with me to use it. The pain began to become more and more unbearable, so much so that I honestly felt paralyzed from my waist down. My body was taking over to my surprise and I was just there with my legs in stirrups. They seemed immovable and with the pains coming faster, it is as if they stopped receiving any of the signals my brain was sending to them.…

    March 2nd of 2011 in Charlotte NC I just receive 2 phone calls. The first one was from my lawyer in Morganton notifying me that several indictments had come through. The other was from Detective South of the Burke County Sheriff’s Office, telling me that I had no choice but to turn myself in. I remember him saying “If you run I will find you”. I thought about running from my troubles, but that isn’t a life that I wanted. The next day I took the long drive from Charlotte NC to Morganton NC knowing that I was going to jail for a long time.

    My Sons Birth

    A certified nursing assistant (CNA) is not the same as a medical assistant. The occupations both involve working with patients and collaborating with nurses and physicians in medical settings, but a CNA has much more specific duties. CNAs aid nurses by doing patient prep work, such as taking temperature or blood pressure, feeding and bathing patients, and filling the role of a general caregiver for patients who may not need constant medical attention, but do need assistance with personal maintenance in between medical procedures. CNAs and medical assistants may work in similar settings and perform similar tasks even if their level of education and their requirements for licensure or certification are different. A crucial difference between the two is that CNAs tend to provide bedside care to senescent patients, where medical assistants assist more with procedural or administrative preparation and housekeeping.…

    The day my life changed was ten years ago when I found out that I was pregnant at the age of nineteen. I was pregnant with my first born, a baby boy that came in this world peeing on the nurses. I named him a biblical name, Emmanuel, which means “God is with us”. My son is so awesome, and he’s my miracle son because he was preemie weighing only two pounds and ten ounces, and he was fourteen inches long. The best part of being a new mommy was getting him through all of the earliest phases of his life and his first time saying “mommy”.…

    Pregnant Narrative

    My grandma told me that if they worsened, she would take me to the hospital. Shortly thereafter about 5 minutes later, the contractions worsened and my cousin picked us up to go to the hospital. I was already dilated to 5 centimeters when I was admitted. The doctor gave me an epidural which really helped, but I was so afraid to birth naturally that the doctors gave me an emergency c-section. I was awake during the delivery and remember that when they cut me open it felt really weird and numb. When my baby was born he looked like his dad. Dray came to the hospital, he was so happy as was my family. Soon after, I kicked everyone out so I could get some rest. I named my son, Tyrinn.…

    Personal Narrative Of Becoming Pregnant

    I was originally going to Atlanta to meet the surgeon that would operate on my babies heart when he was born. I had no idea they would be rushing me to the hospital to have an emergancy c-section. His heart rate dropped and he had to come out, if he had any chance at surviving. I thought I would have a heart attack with all the worry and rushing going on. I was extremely anxious knowing that my son would be 7 weeks early. I wasn't able to see him until three days after I had him. He was airlifted to a childrens hospital fifteen minutes away from the hospital I was in. . When I did get to see him, I was both happy and saddened. Seeing him hooked up to so many wires and tubes was disheartening and It felt like my cheeks were permanatly tear stained from that moment on. After I was released from the hospital, I was able to stay in a Ronald Mcdonald house that was only 2 blocks from where he was staying. I loved everything about Atlanta. I remember watching the trees slowly change colors as we transferred into fall. I remember the crisp air that made me think of pumpkin patches and apple pie. I remember watching students walking to the nearby college with determination in their stride. I remember seeing all the babies in the CICU and wishing they would all get better. I remember praying that my Elijah would be healed and we could go…

    Becoming a Mother

    As I sat on the hospital bed, I just wanted to relax. I didn’t want to hear anybody. I couldn’t hear the bustle and hustle in the hall way or all the screams and cries outside my door. All I saw and knew was that I was holding the greatest significant gift from God. What I felt was total recognition unconditional love and complete trust. In my heart that very instant I realized, everything I needed to know about love and life. How honored I was that God trusted me this much, that He knew I would guide and love this little human being till my very last day. I was tired and overwhelmed with many emotions. As I watched my baby sleep my mind was spinning like crazy to think how I could better my life. There I was making all these resolutions how I was going to live my life. All of sudden the normal life I thought I had was actually completed by this new addition to the family.…
