29. A star is born

It was a tough journey,

I thought I wouldn't make it this far,

But here I am;

It wasn't something I planned,

But I'm overwhelmed with joy

At the turn of events,

Who would have thought that

After all the struggles and the pain,

I'd alas be consoled with my own seed?

As I look at my bundle of joy,

I remember all I went through for its sake,

But all I can say is:

It was worth it.

There were two nurses assisting me in having my child. I knew them already because they attended to me during the time I was confined to the hospital.

There was one who kept yelling at me to push out the child. The doctor had advised I go through a Caesarean Section owing to my previous complications but I had refused and told him I'd give birth to my baby on my own.
