Being a mother is the greatest job in the world. It is also one of the hardest. Especially when having 3 girls. We lived in a small city called Hammond. April 22, 2013 was the date I have been waiting for 40 agonizing weeks. I was preparing myself to go to the hospital to give birth to my third daughter. My final birth really enlightened me on the strength I have as being a mother. I was styling my 2-year-old Jamyah’s hair in braids before making my way out. Jamyah was not your typical 2-year-old. She was very intelligent and optimistic for her age. She accomplished her toddler milestones very early compared to other babies I have known.

A few hours before midnight I fell asleep. Around 2 o ' clock in the morning I woke up feeling like stomach was being tied in knots and squeezed by the strongest man in the world. I called the nurse and I her if I can have an epidural to relieve my pain. She informed me that she will have to call the anesthesiologist from his house. I waited in dying pain for 2 hours.

But the thought of this tormenting pain going away with this, my fear dwindle. He proceed with the procedure and it was a success. (I did not die).

Her head was near my heart. In tears of joy, I looked in her almond shaped eyes and fell in love instantly. She had a hair full of hair that was soft as silk. We bond for 20 mins before they cut the core and took her for tests. It was the most amazing feeling a mother could have. I never experienced this immediately after birth with my other 2 because they were taken quickly. The nurse took her from me and I was so anxious to hold her again.
The whole experience from beginning to end was mostly hell. My third pregnancy and labor was the roughest but the moment of our first acquaintance made every horrible event worth it. I survived carrying another human being and bringing them into this world. It can suck the soul out of you. Tamia made me feel like a warrior after delivering her because I really thought I wasn’t going to make it. That why I will always tell my girls that Beauty is
