How a Baby Changed My Life
How a Baby Changed My Life
I have heard that if you wait to have a baby until you are ready, you will never have one. Even at 39, I felt that I was not ready for the changes. I did not even realize the amount of changes that having a baby would have on my life. I also had no idea that I would change my career after the baby was born. I also did not know that I would have to function on little or no sleep. Furthermore, the amount of free time that I used to enjoy has been greatly reduced.

The first time the nurse gave him to me I knew that life would change, but not how much. Over the next three days, he became more and more yellow and jaundiced. She was told to take him to the doctor the day after their release. The doctor did blood tests on him and found out that his
