How I did it
How to have a child
It took me
21 years
It made me
Find myself

How I did it: I had always wanted children, but wasn't planning on getting pregnant when I did. I became a single mom in January 2008 and this first year of my son's life has made me the happiest I've ever been.

In my final semester 10 months ago

I’m a single mom in my final semester of design school, and how i’m even finding the time to be on this website is beyond me. I stay up till 2 am every night and wake up at 6am every morning, not to mention the nighttime wake-ups and feedings. It’s been extremely helpful having roommates who are parents as well because it makes me feel a little less left out when all of my classmates go out together for a few drinks while I stay home and read baby books.

I’ve got 6 projects and 2 presentations on the go right now, plus I need to make a portfolio and find a work term for the summer, so there is a little stress there. But I just keep telling myself that it’s 12 more weeks, and I can handle that. I just won’t sleep.
