most traumatic experience of my life

There's a bird lying in the room across from mine chirping in a very high pitched way every now and again for the worms her mother is about to feed her. Her name is Samantha Grace Whiteaker and she was born on April 30th at 11:11PM weighing 6 pounds 1 ounce and a total of 17 inches long. That night she started changing the lives of many around her. She made my best friend a new mother and her husband a new father not to mention new grandparents. But she changed more than those lives too. She changed my life forever. Now don't get me wrong, I have no blood relation at all to little Sammie and I have done just about any job involving children you can imagine. But nothing can compare to seeing your friend who you have known for a long time being your first ever friend to have a baby and become a mother. Not only that but actually see your friend go through the pains of child labor, both at the hospital and after the baby was born. There is no question about it, before this I loved children and always wanted to have a child. But now its real, I'm hooked. Sign me up! I want to have a child!

Now keeping this in mind I still want to go to graduate school in architecture and maybe even become an architect so I will definitely be waiting to have a baby, maybe even wait till Sammie has a little sister or brother waiting to be born but now I know what I'm waiting for and I can't wait! I'm excited and ready!
