Being Homeless
Being homeless isn't always a good thing. One thing to know about being homeless is difficult when you have a baby. I had my daughter at nineteen. My husband's mom had us in a program to help us get a place. After being with her for three days, she had us move to a hotel. She was not allowed for us to stay there for more than a month. The program did not help us for the first few days because I did not have my cash aid card.

Pregnant at Nineteen
I was young when I meet my husband. We thought I could never have children. He supported me through the thought of not being able to have children. Then two and a half years later, I got pregnant with my first and only child. It happened one day when I realized I did not have my period. My chest hurt, and my breast was tender. I took a pregnancy test. The moment that I saw the pregnancy test, it was positive. I was shocked and scared about the pregnancy. We had no money, and my husband dealt with a lot of mental health issues. So he worked but not enough to support my child and me. I had just got a job in a mall. I was afraid that the manager would not want me there for the fact of me being pregnant. Then I looked into programs where donated clothes and diapers when the babies are born. Then I went to a church thrift store where they gave me a pile of clothes for five dollars. I was so happy and trying to work and carrying our baby. After I figured out, I signed up for a pantry where I collected a lot for my baby. I got a free stroller, shampoos, and diapers. I stacked up on everything I needed for my baby. I was so grateful that my husband went to all my doctor appointments. My baby girl was a healthy baby.

Love Letter to My Husband
I love you and the fear of losing you. The first year was about trusting me and getting to know me. Then there were mistakes that I wished I have never to you. When I meet you, I was nervous because of the type of person you were. I was trying to help you with your emotions since I knew you were suffering from the inside. You needed someone that understands you. But when I saw you, my whole world was full of butterflies. My heart just melted within those eyes as you looked at me. The more I spent talking, the more my heart would sink in. I became soft and started being my old self.

Wanting More Than One Baby
Many people say they want more than one baby but do not think about the responsibility of having one. Some people believe starting with one baby would demonstrate if you are ready to have another baby in the future. You have to understand that it all begins when you end up pregnant. The difficulty of getting up when you get hungry, showering, and have everyone support by doing groceries and lots more. Then you give birth, depending on whether it's c-section or natural birth. Natural is painful when getting stitches since you can not move or sit down. C-section, you are on bed rest for three months. Nursing or giving them formula requires them to get up every two hours and feed the baby. Early morning you need to nourish them again, or they will keep crying louder. Then as they get to teething, babies end up super fussy and doing more tantrums. Babies have diffusivity sleeping when it comes to them trying to soothe themselves to sleep. Then comes the period where your baby is eating solid food. You need to find the time of day to feed them. When you are trying to work on something, the baby comes first. You are not able to do anything unless your child is satisfied with their needs. When it comes to satisfying their needs, babies need to have their diaper change, well-feed, have their toys with them, or want attention. Babies at eight through nine months, babies start to crawl, end up getting cords, going under the bed, and cry when they are tired of being on their tummy. The hardest part of having a baby is trying to clear their nose from sinuses. Babies are so used to using their noses to breathe since they were out of their womb. Usually, when babies can not breathe through their nose, they wake up and become very irritable. Having them on a schedule would help them sleep throughout the night. Then soon, babies will start to walk. That's when they start grabbing and going through everything that they can get their hands on.

Reality About Growing Up

Everything that happened in your life vanishes, we wake up to being an adult and having your own family. Like, what happened to not paying bills and having to think when your next paycheck would come knowing it will either go to your house or car insurance and a whole lot of other things. As a child, they have nothing to worry about in life. Your mind is just what happened? So much fun and all the other great things in life as a kid. But no, at some period of being a child, we wanted to hurry up and grow. But are we ready for the responsibility? Were we just angry at our parents because we did not do what we wanted at that time? We are stuck. Arguing with our parents were worthless because they know about life more and that we were too stubborn to listen.
