As many people know, I had a baby this semester. His name is Daniel Xavier, born on Wednesday, 3.3.10, at 10:30pm. He weighed a perfect 8 pounds and 3.8 ounces. And it was the most beautiful thing that has ever happened to me.
It was rough having him in the middle of the semester, but I did it. There were times where I would much rather be playing and cuddling with him instead of writing papers, doing assignments, or even going to class. Yet, here it is at the end of the semester, he is 7 weeks old, and I am still on track to graduating on time.
My eyes have been opened since Daniel's birth. My roommate suggested that she never thought that she could see me be a full time student and a wonderful mom at the same time. However, she also said that she has seen me make the transformation and she is amazed at how I can do everything.
In times like this, life is most certainly a struggle. I cannot say that I am the most religious person, but I am definitely spiritual. In looking at my son, I am amazed that I have created life. I know that there are some people out there that could never do what I am doing now (full time school, full time mom, and two part time jobs), but there are also people who could easily do what I do. I know that there is something out there guiding me, whether it is just natural intuition or some supernatural force. I don't believe that I could have gotten through the beginning if it weren't for faith; faith in myself and faith as belief. It has been an amazing journey thus far, and I am excited for the rest of it. Wish me luck = )
