Baby To Beast
Freshman year is already stressful as it is. You are the new kids on the block, you dont know the ins and outs of the high school, and you dont want to make a fool of yourself in front of all these upperclassmen. Not only did I have to overcome that, I got diagnosed with an Atrial Septal Defect, or ASD for short. In other words, I had a hole in my heart between the two chambers of my heart. I was always a smaller kid in middle school. My health overall was not at the average or above average that all my peers were at, the ASD was to blame for that. After going through an extensive heart surgery and many test and procedures to get me back to 110%, I started growing and becoming the kid I was meant to be.

    It was about 3:45 in the morning on a Sunday, where I found myself and my excited, wide-awake, good-looking boyfriend driving down a dark, eerie road to a hospital that was 61 miles away. Those 61 miles felt like light years to me I didn’t feel right all day today, I had a feeling deep down that my body was telling me that it was time. I was as nervous as I possibly could be, however, I had to remain completely calm because I could possibly be in labor and our first baby could arrive any time. So There I was, just Sitting there in that fast moving car, patiently waiting for the top of my big-ole belly to become super tight, tighter than a rubber band wrapped around your stomach 1000 times.…

    The momma bear tilts her had, staring at me through angry eyes. I can almost imagine the thoughts whirling around in her huge, furry head. She's wondering if I'm a threat to her baby, protecting him like any mother should do. The cubs quite a bit smaller, with light brown fur and ears that pop up over her head. He doesn't seem afraid of me, more like curious, wanting to explore more then fight.…

    It was January 4, 1997, during a terrible snowstorm that I decided it was time to start my life.

When I was born I was twenty-one and a half inches long and weighed only five pounds and fourteen ounces.…

    Surrounded by a team of nurses, one doctor, and what seemed to be a grouping of blinding lights, I had a peculiar moment of serenity. I can’t quite explain whether it was the epidural or the fact that for twelve hours my body was engulfed by excruciatingly painful contractions which seemed to be attacking me in a sporadic manner, but in that one moment everything was perfect. Somehow I just let go off every single fear I had, I just remembered that in any moment there would be an extraordinary occurrence. Although a natural part in many women’s lives, since the beginning of time, it was a phenomenon in my life.…

    I really enjoyed this assignment and am very happy that I had the opportunity to do it. I love babies even more than I realized and J.J was absolutely adorable. I felt extremely comfortable around her and had no problem holding her and interacting with her which I believe made it a lot easier. I admit I was nervous going into this based on the prior information that I knew about J.J. I was nervous about going into it and presenting her with tests and having to say that she did not react the way most babies her age do.…

    It was a Saturday morning March 17, 1996 I was eight months in my mother’s tummy and my due date was in mid April. Uncle Benito had the crazy idea of going to the snow all because my mother had never seen the snow. My mother told me of a hill she sled down from, a great slope that didn’t leave her feeling to good “No me siento muy bien.” My uncle rushed her to Granada Hills Hospital on the morning of March 19, 1996; I was born seven pounds at eight minutes until eight.…

    Isn't it weird knowing that, you can notice the demons of others, the beast that hangs around you, in fact, even at school, I see people’s own beast’s as I brush past the students and teachers as it hangs on their shoulders, or pulls them by their hair, grasping it so tight, they can’t break free. I notice the ugly beast of depression wearing my friend’s faces thin, the subtle beast of anxiety steer them away from me, the small beast of anger beating on their heads as the beast forces them to speak these lies, but, everyone's beast is unique. There’s a scarf around my tired neck. I would rush through the halls, pass another faceless student and another, bleak souls, mirrored smiles and laughs tear at them. It still smells like summer.…

    At approximately 6:30 AM on the fifth of September in nineteen ninety-nine, my mother’s water broke. I will just assume my father was super excited even though he was dead asleep and my mother had to drive herself to the hospital. Though it’s somewhat hard for a pregnant woman to dress, and despite the fact she was in pain, she arrived at Jackson Hospital at seven. She refused to call my father to let him know she was at the hospital. She instead called her mother and sister, who were at church.…

    Before my niece Eira was born, I had no experience in being around babies. If one of my cousins offered for me to hold their baby, I usually would decline their offer. I had no idea how to hold a baby, change their clothes, or change a diaper. I didn’t have a lot of patience when being around younger children either. I never thought of having children when I get older, and I did not really want to have children.…

    I'm not shocked with the article . I don't understand how the care centers mistake the baby as a doll. I would have been a shame to say that I worked there.

The dad had mentioned one of the coworker was still in the building but didn't hear the toddler crying this article don't make any sense to me and its sad .…

    The birth of an animal is clearly not the same as the birth of a human. It’s pretty much the same concept. It’s messy, loud, and amazing to witness. Although, I must admit that birth is not amazing to witness when you’re six years old and not expecting it. The whole scene is burned into my brain, and plays over and over again whenever I go out to my barn.…
