Raw and Honest Blog of a New Single Mom

I am a single mother of a biracial baby boy just trying to make it on my own. This journey is hard, yet rewarding. Blogging is my therapy, these words are my heart, and people doing better and being inspired by what I have written is my passion and hope.

Making Room for My Man

Thanks for all the suggestions I’ve received so far on places to shop for baby boys. I REALLY appreciate it. I took Stephanie’s suggestion and went to Target today to see what they had and I couldn’t help but buy a few of the Spring-themed sleepers they carried in stock. I was impressed by the [...]

There’s a Watermelon in my Belly

I feel horrible. I can always tell when my baby is growing and my belly is expanding because my insides move and I get this cramping feeling against my stomach and my lower back and well .. my body feels like I’m growing an award-winning sized watermelon inside. It sucks! I don’t even feel like [...]

My Baby’s Sex Confirmed :D

Wow, soooo delayed follow up post! I was celebrating my baby all yesterday. I had my ultrasound appointment, my mom was my guest. We sat down nervously and anxiously awaiting what we might see on the grainy black and white ultrasound monitor. I had no idea what was going on or what was being seen [...]

Maybe I’m sensitive because I’m tired of being around people with addictions. To hear the sweetest guy I’ve ever known brag about how much he intakes, how he feels like [...]

Poked, Prodded, Cut Open …

I have to go get a physical tomorrow .. poked and violated in various places .. uuuggh. I’m honestly scared to death of it. The last time they attempted to take my blood they ended up busting my vein wide open. It was yummily painful .. ugh. Also, when I’m there I’ve made up my [...]

First Kicks … I Think

I think I felt the baby kick I like to sleep on my stomach which is very uncomfortable now. When I woke up and rolled over on my back I got a little fluttery thump in my stomach that I haven’t felt again since. Baby is probably mad at me for squishing him so dang [...]

Reconciled with Daddy, Got Pics of Baby

For a short period of time Daddy and I reconciled. He came to me, apologized for everything he put me through and swore to me he was clean and had been for 1 month. He said he missed me and was ready to start bettering his life starting with taking care of me and our [...]
