Over the years, I have played many roles like daughter, sister, granddaughter, student, girlfriend and wife but most rewarding and at time the scariest new role is being Momma to my joy, Thomas Cesar Rock.
This transformation from Wife to being Momma started with a bang. Thomas was born five weeks early and required an emergency c-section. At that moment I was very alone with Eddy on a business trip and all other family members either at work or on vacation.
I was fortunate enough to have wonderful doctors who kept me calm and confident that everything would be just fine, and it was, this was just the beginning of my new life as super Momma and Wife.
Everyone always talks about how becoming a parent changes your life. That does not even include the transformation that take place over 9 months of pregnancy and then birth!
One day you are this beautiful and smart woman who can handle anything then the next the hormones kick in and you feel overwhelmed and are crying all the time!
Poor Eddy, he handled it like a champ! Always calming me down and telling me, “Yes Divina we can afford this baby, we don’t need to sell anything on EBay”. Yup, I was a barrel of fun during those months.
Then your perfect baby is born! He is the most brilliant and most beautiful thing you have ever seen in your life, even covered in throw up, and you are his Momma!
With every joy, issue or illness……
No matter how many books you have or how many times you check with the doctor or the internet you are Super Momma and you have to figure it out!
And I would not have it any other way.
