My First Child
I never knew how much having a child would change my life until the day my son Carter Trey Halliday was born on October 07, 2013. I was the youngest of my two other brothers. My brother in the middle Chris had three other girls before I had my first. I was told by many of my friends that I was going to be the first to have a baby for some reason. This might have been because I did have my share of girls before my fiancé. My fiancé and I both decided to get an ultrasound to determine the sex of my son to be easier on gifts for the baby shower. After I got the news that it was a baby boy I was so excited to tell my mother because this was going to be her first grandson. She did not expect me to act this way towards this type of thing because I never was a kid person. My mindset in my life up until that day was more of a selfish type of mentality. In my experience of having my first child, I believe that this is the single most important part of my life and it was the best thing that could have happened for me.
I did a lot of things in my life including the military, but this experience was nothing compared to that of my first child being born. On the day of October 07, 2013 when my son was born I spent approximately three days in the hospital with my fiancé. At about eight thirty at night on the day prior my fiancé told me to bring her to the hospital from her severe contractions and I just about dropped to the floor. I did not know what to do in this situation because I have never experienced it myself before. So I drove to the emergency room where they checked her into and wheeled her off in a wheelchair, It was hard for me to keep up with the doctor running her up to the maternity area because she was running so suddenly, I was still in shock that this was happening. As I stumbled to keep up with the doctor, I got this overwhelming feeling of nervousness and anxiousness. It was almost like when I went to boot camp to train, but this was much more intense than that. We got into the delivery room and the doctor moved her from the wheelchair to the bed, and as she was laying there her face was completely filled with fear and pain. I felt helpless at this point because there was nothing that I could do to help her with the pain. Before we went to the hospital, she told me that no matter if she says to give her the epidural to tell the doctor she doesn’t want it because she wanted to have a natural birth. It was at about three o’clock in the morning when the nurse told her that she could begin to push to try to break her water because it still did not break up into this point. She was in labor for almost about two hours, but felt more like a whole day. The moment was finally about to come I saw his head starting to come through the birth canal, but his head was turned the wrong way in order to come out. The doctor turned his head through the canal and my fiancés water broke all over me as his head came through.
After my son was born; it opened my mind to a complete new mindset, as me being the teacher instead of the student. I have never really been in a real type of teaching type of mindset and it makes me wonder if I will be able to teach him everything that he needs to know in order to make the right decisions in life.
