Oldie but Goodie

We got our first ultrasound at week four (although we are 10 weeks today).  It was my turn to cry since daddy cried like a big cute baby after reading the pregnancy test…but tink,  I cried like a baby at your first ultrasound.. the fact that your heart beat was so clear and the rate was 120 at 4 weeks was amazing.  I was nauseous from about week 3 to week 6 and then it went away. Mama still had to deal with some other symptoms and still dealing with them but they’re getting better.  I figured I would be the first one to post your cute leeetle selfie.  I can’t wait for you to read this one day and hopefully pass down to your children J

You're my sunshine, my only sunshine

Although I have been knowing about you for quite some time now, mommy wanted to share with our blog readers that we are expecting you this October 7^th. I am so excited to meet you and I know you’re going to be an amazing addition to our family.  I can see your little button nose, chubby cheeks, chunky legs, and dimple in your cute leeetle face now.  I can’t wait to hold you and smell you and love all up on you.  Daddy and I have been praying for you and we know that you’re going to be a follower of Christ.  We will try our very best to make you proud and to raise you in this world the best we know how.  We will teach you about safety and the importance of staying from all the violence in this world and how to protect yourself from others. You will be a light in this dark world and you will be blessed.  Daddy and I found out about you on January 28^th.  Mommy was not herself, and lets just say daddy wasn’t either..haha!  I was extremely moody and my nips were sore when I showered.  I actually had to shower for a week covering my breast as the pressure of the water hurt mama so bad. I also had two crazy dreams that were not in my normal range of dreams…tink, ill be honest with you, mommy knew she was pregnant because daddy screamed extremely loud in the middle of the night and woke me up.  It was confirmation because of the dreams that I was having.  I was also moody and my premenstrual symptoms were nowhere to be found.  Daddy dragged mommy into Walgreens and purchased two pregnancy test and the results came out to POSITIVE:] Daddy came running out the bathroom with tears of JOY and I instantly yelled "I'm pregnant"?! I was too nervous to look at the results lol, but smiled so big once the excitement settled.  We are pregnant! AH


My emotions were everywhere.  I was happy, nervous, excited, overwhelmed but nevertheless, I was grateful and blessed that God saw me fit to be your mommy. It is perfect timing that you’re coming in October as I will be done with my therapy license and graduation will be right around the corner.  We love you, tink.  Keep growing healthy and strong in Jesus name! 

Together at LAST

I am so happy that I have all my little babies all together. Noah came home for good and we are happy to have him back. We all are adjusting to him being home and him learning my new role as an additional parent for him. Lilly and Dj are also happy to have their cousin home! We went out for brunch last Saturday and my sistah and mom came too. It’s so Important to take time for your family and to be in the present moment.

I can smell graduation...

I literally am writing this thinking about August.  I hate to rush the months and summer but I can’t wait until I graduate and become a Licensed Mental Health therapist.  I am in my second internship and am learning so much at my site.  I am working with the high school population and that is very different than my elementary clients.  I am appreciative of both populations and they both bring so much beauty to the field.  I am also working at the high school providing skills there while I am fulfilling my internship requirements.  I miss Spring Mil and it was bittersweet to leave but I am grateful for growth. Check out my new home until August :)
