I was 18 when I found out I was pregnant. I was listening to music and this song was on when I told my husband. I had mixed emotions about it. I was happy but scared because I was still in college. I didn't have a job and this pregnancy wasn't planned. What if I'm not a good mother? So many thoughts ran through my head and it was tough but my family and my husband's family were supportive. Throughout the pregnancy, I would rub my belly while singing, "my heart is yours, it's you that I hold on to. That's what I'll do." My son would kick and that feeling was amazing. Then, Nestor was born. When they brought him to my room at the hospital, I fell in love. I saw sparks.
