This<\/em> is all my fault, <\/em>I berated myself as I held my wailing newborn, Micah, tight against me in the rocker. Beside me, my two-year-old son, MJ, was crying nearly as hard. Only my husband, Myron, was calm.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe baby is fine, Tiera,\u201d he said. I could barely hear him over the bedlam. \u201cEverything is going to be fine.\u201d<\/p>\n

No, it wasn\u2019t. Nothing was going right. I\u2019d been struggling ever since we\u2019d come home from the hospital three weeks earlier. My every attempt to get things under control only seemed to make things worse. Like giving in to MJ\u2019s repeated requests to hold his baby brother<\/a> on his own. Seconds later, the baby had slipped from his grasp, landing hard on the bed. Hence the uproar.<\/p>\n

I slowed the rocker, seeking the right rhythm to soothe Micah. Why is this so hard for me? <\/em>People had told me during my pregnancy that raising an infant and a toddler would be the hardest job in the world, but I\u2019d shrugged it off. My day job was figuring out how to send astronauts to Mars. That\u2019s right\u2014rocket science<\/a>. Plus, I was working on my master\u2019s degree in engineering management. Raising two young children? No problem.<\/p>\n

Somehow my calculations had been way off. I was barely sleeping. The house was a mess. I choked back tears, not wanting Myron to think I was losing it. I can do all things, <\/em>I told myself, a prayer I\u2019d turned to for strength<\/a> all my life. Now the words seemed to mock me. Micah\u2019s cries grew louder. Between sobs, MJ said he was sorry.<\/p>\n

It scared me, this feeling of losing control. I thrived on order, on finding not merely answers to problems but perfect solutions. Excelling. God had blessed me with a mind that loved complexity, challenges, computations. That drive had been key to all I\u2019d accomplished in my 27 years. Such as graduating from MIT with a degree in aerospace engineering. Going immediately to work on NASA\u2019s Moon to Mars mission<\/a> rocket team, where I\u2019d met Myron.<\/p>\n

We\u2019d founded an outreach effort to encourage kids across the world to achieve their dreams in science and engineering. I\u2019d coauthored my first published book, Wonder Women of Science<\/em><\/a>. I\u2019d taught MJ to walk while working full-time and taking grad school classes\u2014all over Zoom due to Covid. Myron and I mentored high school students.<\/p>\n

I never took the easy route. A Black woman in engineering<\/a> is still a rarity, and I didn\u2019t want anyone thinking I\u2019d received special treatment. I wasn\u2019t afraid to be tested. But being a mom of two was something else entirely. Micah clearly needed more than I could give him. What did it matter if I could solve the physics of a rocket launch if I failed at motherhood?<\/p>\n

\u201cLet me take the baby,\u201d Myron said, louder. \u201cYou need a break.\u201d<\/p>\n

I knew Myron could handle the baby. He was wonderful with both boys. But in that moment, it felt as if I would be surrendering something important. \u201cNo, I can do this,\u201d I insisted. \u201cHe needs his mother.\u201d I looked down at my beautiful baby, hoping for some sign of affirmation<\/a>. The insistent cry that came from his tiny lips was not a vote in my favor.<\/p>\n

The problems had begun in my ninth month of pregnancy. We\u2019d gone for a routine checkup, only to learn my fluids were too low. \u201cWe\u2019ll need to induce labor,\u201d my doctor said. Everything had happened in a rush, spiraling out of control from there.<\/p>\n

The hospital sent us home after only 24 hours. Myron\u2019s dad was on hand. My parents had come to help too, but they had to spend the first week quarantining upstairs because of Covid.<\/p>\n

That first night home with our new baby, I cooked dinner for five adults and MJ. Myron offered to cook, but it seemed easier to do it myself. After dinner, I caught up on email. The semester had just begun that day, and there\u2019d been no time to let colleagues and my fellow students know I\u2019d be out and missing classes. Most of them didn\u2019t know I was pregnant. I didn\u2019t want anyone thinking I needed a slower pace.<\/p>\n

The next few weeks, I woke up at all hours to nurse. I held Micah as much as possible, knowing that mother-newborn bonding<\/a> was so important. MJ felt threatened and confused. He loved his baby brother…but not all the attention I was giving him. MJ wanted me to hold him all the time too. He wanted to snuggle close too. When I\u2019d finally get a minute to lie down and rest, MJ would check on me, making me his personal climbing wall. Then there was the begging to hold Micah. I couldn\u2019t take it. I\u2019d finally given in.<\/p>\n

And here was the result. It wasn\u2019t just Micah I\u2019d failed. I\u2019d failed MJ by not giving him enough attention. I\u2019d failed Myron by being a nervous wreck<\/a>. The house was in disarray. I hadn\u2019t cooked a healthy meal in days. I was behind on my schoolwork. How was I possibly going to manage when I went back to work after my maternity leave? I can do all things, <\/em>I tried again. If only.<\/em><\/p>\n

Myron put his hand on my shoulder. \u201cLet me take care of the boys,\u201d he said. \u201cYou go and spend some time with Jesus<\/a>. It\u2019ll do you good.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been reminding myself I can do all things,\u201d I said. \u201cBut lately it seems like I can\u2019t do anything!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Myron looked at me curiously. \u201cThat\u2019s not the whole verse, you realize?\u201d he said, smiling. \u201cYou\u2019re leaving out the most important part.\u201d<\/p>\n

I can do all things\u2026 <\/em>How many times had I told myself that lately without finishing the verse? \u2026Through Christ who strengthens me. <\/em>I\u2019d fallen into a kind of shorthand version, one that didn\u2019t fully acknowledge the source of my strength<\/a>, of all my blessings.<\/p>\n

\u201cWow,\u201d I said to my husband. \u201cYou\u2019re right.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you, Jesus,\u201d I added, something else I\u2019d forgotten to say in the tumult of the past few weeks. I didn\u2019t have to burn myself out trying to be the perfect mother, wife, scientist and grad student. God loved me just as I was<\/a>, and he was there, along with Myron, to help me do all things.<\/p>\n

I looked down at Micah. He was sleeping peacefully in my arms. MJ had quieted too, giving his baby brother a watery smile. I nodded at MJ and said, \u201cSee? Everything\u2019s fine.\u201d<\/p>\n

Still, I handed Micah to his father. My Bible was calling me.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
