I am a Mom!


...there are many new experiences in life...this is one of the most precious!



It was pretty chaotic in the delivery room. I heard myself shout as I was urged to push. I heard myself asking questions like, "Am I making any progress?" and, "Is my baby okay?" And of course my crying from exhaustion. My husband, Kurt was there, giving me strength when my will began to fail me. He took care of me and made sure everything was okay.

Kurt: Hell! I was just as scared as she was! I just made myself busy to help mask it!


Yes, the pain was tremendous! But when I heard my baby's first cry...saw her...held her in my arms for the very first time...nothing else mattered...it seemed as though no pain had ever existed. At that moment I knew, my life had made a huge leap...I was a mom! We are no longer a couple. We became a family. Our world, for sure, will now revolve around this little angel who will call us her mom and dad. And I knew I was going to spend the rest of my life trying to become a better person, or should I say the best mother as I can be, for her.

Kurt: Suddenly I was a FATHER! And at that moment, I realized that I didn't have the slightest idea what I was supposed to do next...hahaha!
