Children: Our most valuable natural resource.

To any child
Please read Kaitlyn To My Sweet Baby Girl, I’ll start with I love you! Life didn’t begin until you were born. Every breath you took brought with it a new adventure, a new feeling I’d never experienced, a feeling of life, or the new understanding for the meaning of life. For your first few months I had absolutely no idea what I was doing, I had no clue why you wouldn’t stop crying at 4 in the morning, even after I had tried everything possible. I admit, I got angry at times trying to understand you, trying to learn you only to feel as if I was failing miserably. I even broke down once or twice… or maybe a thousand times. Because the truth is…every minute with you has been an unpredictable string of events that has taught me what motherhood is all about.

Life of a Single Mom
I found of I was pregnant October 21st 2019, my pregnancy was unplanned. I really thought that if I ever got pregnant unmarried and unplanned that the man would stay around and be there for me, well I was wrong. Here's the story of my pregnancy and birth. I stayed at the fathers place for a month we were planning on getting married back in January this year that didn't go as planned because the whole week leading up to it he just argued with me and didn't really want to be involved with baby clothes shopping since he was leaving for the military the next month. He was very unfair on the way he treated me, I ended up paying for his two months of rent, food, and things to get at the mall. He left for basic training and I went back to my parents house and have been here ever since, which I plan on moving out as soon as I can. I went to my appointments with the doctors, they diagnosed me with hemorrhage in my placenta but that healed on its own, which was fantastic. I went to the ER a few times since the symptoms I was having during each visit had me go due to the on call nurse telling me to go to make sure everything was okay with my baby. When I was 19 weeks I had my ultrasound to see the gender of the baby which I was having boy, I remember the night before going to the appointment I was taking a shower and I felt my baby kick for the very first time I was so wonderful. His kicks were so powerful, he would kick for 30 minutes at a time and even when I wanted to go to sleep it was hard. During the rest of my pregnancy the father wasn't really interested in it, he didn't really offer to buy baby things since he was getting a paycheck during basic. We sent letters back and forth to each other and maybe like three were about our son the rest was just him trying to get back with me which I didn't want to since all the stress he put me through during the time he was here. Enough of the sad story, I was in a lot of pain during my pregnancy since my son weighed 8 lbs. 13 oz. During the last weeks of my pregnancy I had to go every week to make sure baby was okay and to check if I dilated or not which I was 2cm both visits. Me and my doctor decided to have a C-section instead of vaginal birth since how big my son was, the C-section was the next day at 7 am. The C-section took 45 minutes to and hour for my son to be born, I stayed at the hospital for 3 days so they can check my stitches and make sure me and him were doing great. We left a Sunday morning and went home, the recovery process was long but wasn't that bad, I had a hard time latching my son at the hospital and even at home since the way my nipples were so I am feeding him formula which isn't bad. The next time I want another child I do want to decide and breastfeed. This story might have been mumble jumble but that is kind of how my thought process works, I didn't want to go too in-depth with my story since my viewpoint of it is different then my family members and friends that were involved.

A Letter To My Children
With all the chaos going on in the world today I had a very strong calling to write this letter for my children to read in the future. I want my children, who happened to be born in 2020 during the COVID pandemic, to understand the world in which they were born into. This year is very significant in many ways and I want them to know that I am doing everything that I can to make it better. This letter is my personal thoughts and opinions that happen to mean a lot to me. Once you read it please be respectful and kind. Thank you!

Life of a Special Needs Mom
As I sit here with drink in hand and listening to sappy music, I think "Why am I not happy?" I think about my life. All the ups and downs. All the shit that went down in the last decade. The last decade was hard. I didn't cope well. I had pity parties every other day alone in my backyard or on the sofa late at night. I have felt guilty every day.

A Love I've Never Known Before
All of my friends had a gang of children by the time they were in their mid 30's. I, on the other hand, had zero. For some reason I never felt that calling to be a mother. As a child I don't remember every playing with dolls where I took care of them like real babies. I mostly had stuffed animals and I loved cats and kittens. I guess I just did not have that maternal instinct like others did.

How Should The Parents Boost Brain Power and Memory Of their Infants
Do you know the scientific fact that an infant’s brain has billions of neurons? During the first years of his life, a baby starts growing neural synapses, the connection of brain cells. This brain wiring has to be hard to strengthen his capability of learning a language. Surely, a baby may not learn anything instantly. Still, the number of neural connections of a children’s brain is more than that of the adults.

My Heart
The Children in the top photo are my niece that taught me how to be a mother I have been with them since they were born and have helped every step of the way..... The child in the suite and the two girls at the bottom are my bonus children and I love them with all my heart and have watched them grow and have been in their lives for the past 7 years. Then there is the little girl in the center and the last little boy I birthed them both and they have brought me so much joy to be a mother... I was not suppose to have any children of my own as I was told by the doctors and in February of 2015 I had Joseph he was 5 weeks early and was so so small he was only 3lbs and 9oz but was a fighter from the start. He had an IV in his head to do platelet transfusions the day he was born, then at a month and a half old he had surgery for two testicular hernias' and had those fixed, then at the age of 2 he was going in for another surgery to have his tonsils and adenoids taking out so he would be able to breather and get a better nights sleep and come off the bottle. Now he is 80lbs and 4ft tall and a healthy happy 5 year old boy. He was my rainbow baby. He looks like me and acts like his daddy. Then in October 2018 I became a mother to a beautiful baby girl Lena and she filled our house with more joy and love. She is a sassy little 2 year old now. She looks like her father and acts like me sometimes. My niece's Ashlyn 17 years old and has turned into an amazing young lady and has her mind set about what she wants out of life and Justiene 15 years old is starting to become a amazing young lady she is just not sure which way to take yet but in due time it will come to her. I thank them every day for helping me get ready to be a great mother to my own children. They also help me with their cousins when needed that are amazing I also thank god that he gave me three bonus children Briana 20 years, Brittany who would of been 18 years old this year and Michael 11 years old now. They are amazing with their little brother and sister. Briana has had her ups and downs as do all children but she has turned into a loving caring and all together amazing young woman and has her life all planed out. Unfortunately my husband and I lost Brittany in April 2019 at the age of 16 to a car accident, and it has been hard for us and all of our children to coop with but with the strength of GOD and the support of one another we have been living day to day hour by hour, and know that life is priceless and live it to the fullest. Always Always say I love you every chance you get cause you do not know when it will be the last time you get to say it. Michael is special in so many ways he wants guidance but then shy's away from it, he is silly and can be a soon to be teen boy and hopefully he finds his what he is meant to be. He gets mad easily and loves gaming. I believe that is what he is going to be doing when he gets older. I love all my children and would give them the world and then if I had the means too. They are gems and they learn from us what we do they see what we say they end up saying one day we have to mold the minds of our Children and make sure they believe in themselves.

sad boy with teddy
A sad boy with his masked teddy...he wanted to play with his school mates or the neighbour's children but his parents expect him to social distance. So, his only friend is the teddy bear.He put on it his mother's face mask because this is now his reality, mother wearing a mask. Mother cannot smile anymore with a mask on and he becomes so sad, he misses his mother's smile, he misses all the peoples smiles.
