I’m so tired! With all the meds and being in bed for 48 hours my body is in shell shock. I got up to get my hair braided and it feels like I being to the gym. I was getting sick for the fumes coming from the roof. I’m like I was not here for two days but the day I am you want to work on the roof. So I cleared it with Dr. j and of course D and it was fine to go! Then I get home and I just feel so sick. I guess it could have been the fumes or just my body still getting all of that medication out of my body. Me and Baby love are not use to all of those drugs. I was so thankful to come home yesterday!
The nurse was trying to give D tips on how to keep me in bed. I’m like lady this kid is not coming this week. Plus I’m not trying to do anything to hurt me or my baby. I guess I just not use to being so helpless. I could barley go to the bathroom. They wheel me everywhere I need to go. I like I feel fine let me walk! But I know I need to take it extra slow but I just don’t want to get lazy. I have no idea if I’m going back to work before baby love comes. At this point I don’t care if I every see that place again. I just keep thinking about my snacks and water jug that I let there. I know one day I will miss that place but right now I like who cares. I will miss my mother hens though.
Baby shower was cancel but I hear that some people may stop by to bring there gifts. I’m like thank you Lord because I didn’t get much because of the giant baby shower that they were throwing for me. I really try not to think about what we don’t have and just be thankful for what we do have. Just please keep praying for us because at this point it's in God’s hand what going to happen next. When my child comes, how are we going to do all the other stuff with what we have, and etc. I’ll just use this time on bed rest to stay in prayer. What else can you do when it’s getting harder just to get out of bed.
Next dr's appt. is next friday! We go weekly from here on out. I just hope that your not sunnyside up. So please turn! O yeah I've been seeing you more in my visions. You have those pretty puppy dog eyes I've every seen. I know that this journey is almost over then on to mother hood. I can't wait to hold you in my arms. And I'm still trying to firgue out how do I get sleep while leaving you in the next room with you father! haha I hope I don't be like those overly procetive mothers. I just know even though I'm scared of the unknown I proud to be your mama!!! Love you....
One love….

1cm dilated! Baby love,
You are trying to come out huh? iT WAS JUST SUPPOSE TO BE A REGULAR DR VIST. Can you say WHATEVER!!!! Well for those of you that don’t know I’m 1cm and yesterday had like 7 to 10 contraction in an hour! So here I am in Labor and Delivery. Yeah… The funniest thing is that the shot in the butt to make sure his lungs are develop and the lovely medication through the IV hurts more then the contractions! I have gotten maybe like three hours of sleep and my body is feeling the effects. I only saw my first nurse twice. I was not feeling her spirit. The second one I LOVED! Now this third one is okay but once you had a great nurse you get spoiled. I’m now off the medication thru the IV thaNK the LORD. That one had me in tears. They also took me off the baby monitor since he is doing better than mommy and daddy put together. So now I'm just taking this lovely pills to stop the contractions. Which are doing the trick. I’m still hook up to the contraction monitor. But a least I can unplug it to go to the bathroom. That I.V. and baby monitor was a nightmare. But at least I know what I’m looking forward to when he comes for real! O yeah baby love is weighing in at five pounds give or take as the ultra sound tech said! Dr J said that he just need to stay in my belly until next Thursday then we can have him in our arms. I guess because she is still going by her Sept. due date?! I only gain one pound and I'm going to miss my big old belly. The butt could go away right now! haha
So much for me getting the to do list out the way! And I guess he will be at the babyshower. Plus I talk my cousin to come braids my hair. Because I'm on bed rest again.... And D has been the best. He has really been taking care of us. LOVE you baby!
one love...

Labor Marathon
babylove mama has Issues,
I have a lot going on and I can’t do anything about nothing.I’m in a mood wear I need to go away before this baby comes or I will hurt somebody.I’m trying to be active as possible but my body just wants to rest.I have a doctor’s appointment today and I’m not really looking forward to the visit.I was supposed to go see one of the pediatricians. I really don’t want to make two dr trips today.I need to find baby love a doctor and soon!I can’t fit into any of my fat feet shoes (that’s what I call my lovely flat pregnancy shoes) any more and my crocs do not go with everything.(but I wear them anyway)I have been sick since Friday! But I’m feeling better today! We had the child birthing class on Saturday.Most of the videos I’ve seen on the internet.The only thing I got out of it was: breathing techniques, birthing positions, and more in depth info about medication methods.All in which the nurse said that she would help me with.I did figure out my birthing plan and that I need more than D there.I will need a team support to help me with this marathon of LABOR!But who is reliable enough to be there and massage me?
Ms. Beverly bought me my COOKIES and wrote only for Shemekka on it!How sweet was that?She got the right kind too!I’m on my last leg ya’ll and I’m just trying to hold on.Baby love is getting bigger but it’s not hurting me it just getting in the way.I keep bumping my belly into things.I have to go get my hair re-braided this Saturday.I’m not really looking forward to that.I was planning on getting my massage that day.But I have to look good or my hair will while I’m in labor.It’s funny because when I watch the tapes on Saturday me and the other lady just said, “I don’t want to do this”!This is hard work!You think carrying a baby for nine month is something wait until the
Marathon starts!!!!I don’t think that I’m going to be in Labor for 20 hours but only God knews what I can take.I just pray that I’m a bless one and only get like 6 hours of labor.Man that would be nice.
Well Since we are not moving no time soon I’m going to get my LOVELY HUSBAND to shampoo the rug.And I’ll have to find strength to wash the walls.I just pray every day that we get our own home!Looks like I may make it until the end of August.He just have to stay in there and I’m trying to slow down so he can stay in there.But even with me being lazy he is still every active.HMMMmmm does that mean he will be that way once he is born?But I getting a breast pump soon so D can give me a break with feeding him.I just need a week to sleep on my back.But knowing me MOTHER HEN I’ll still get up to make sure he is feeding him right.Unless I’m just dog tired and can’t move.Well my to do list is longer than what I have time to write so just pray that I can get the important stuff done.
Jesus HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One LOVE…

I did it!
Baby love
,
It took me 10 mins. to put lotion on my feet and ankles but I did it! I had to laugh at myself because I'm so pig headed I was not going to give up! Finally I remember the yoga stretch I use to do and that help me get the ash away..... You have been twisting and turning alot today. I'm still aching I guess because of all the laughing I've been doing plus you moving so much. It's mostly my ribs, back, and stomach area. That's it for now.
For all to see new sexy pictures of ME.... And yes you can still be sexy at 35 weeks!
O yeah I've been seeing you more in my visions. You have those pretty puppy dog eyes I've every seen. I know that this journey is almost over then on to mother hood.
