He is currently in daycare which has been freeing up a little bit of time for me to work and this month it has paid off. I’ve done really well and am trying to get back on my feet. I had been planning to move into a nice, larger apartment in a different complex once my lease was up in August, but yesterday the apartment manager called me and told me the city is expanding the freeway next to my apartment and that they are tearing out our parking lot and would be working directly infront of my place. So to compensate for this she offered me a larger, newly renovated apartment for the same rate I’m paying on my studio and also free moving and moving equipment that she would arrange for me. I just have to be out of the studio by Monday and I have to sign a year long lease on the new place. I was looking forward to moving away from here, but I honestly think that’s an offer I can’t pass up. It’s an upgrade and very little financial responsibility on me to get the move off. So I save moving costs and about $200 a month on rent that I was planning on paying. This complex is not my fave because some neighbors are annoying and some units are infested with roaches .. but I can’t really complain. I just hope I have decent neighbors and little or no pests.

Me and Jack doin our make up and reveling in our insane beauty :p ..

Nope, nothing of substance to add here!

All in all it was expensive ($125!!) and I only got about 9 3D pics out of the 15 minute session (and well video of the whole session too) .. but I think it was so worth it to see his pretty face and get to see something I only have one chance to see.

The whole time I watched him so attentively on the screen and tried to make out his facial features. I still think he looks just like Daddy so far. His facial structure and head shape, Daddy’s lips .. and when I thought he had my nose, nope! He has Daddy’s nose. The ultrasound tech looked a little confused. Trying to be as PC as possible she commented that Jack’s lips “aren’t very plump are they?” and she kinda squinted at and commented on his pointed-ish nose lol I’m sure she assumed my baby was full Black and was wondering in her mind what was going on and where these features were coming from. I didn’t say anything.

Speaking of the Devil, I was so ecstatic to have seen my son that when I got home I sent Daddy a Yahoo message (which he probably didn’t get because I do believe he still has me blocked, but I don’t care) to gloat how gorgeous my child is. I didn’t say baby’s sex, name or send any pics (he still has no idea what the baby is or if he’s born yet), but it was a short, simple message to let him know baby is still here and he’s missing out on something. I didn’t and don’t expect him to reply and that’s OK.

Oh and here’s an updated pregnancy pic of me. AGGH! So fat! LOL

These are newborn sizes, the smallest they had. I think they are very big and probably won’t fit him right away. Hmph. That’s cool I guess. Jack Jack (my nickname for my son) will be a middle of summer baby so I’m thinking that I really need to worry about little onesies to keep him cool anyway. These will probably be a perfect fit by the time Fall and Winter hit.

Me making room in my closet for the new man in my life.

Speaking of making room I have a giant task ahead of me. You see, I live in a 500 sqft studio apartment, I love this place very much and don’t really want to move. It’s been the perfect fit for me and my personality. I’d love to try to make room for my son here but I’m just not sure what to do. Full sized cribs are way too big, though I was looking forward to getting one he could be in for years to come then convert into a little bed for him.
Last night I came across the Mini Crib which looks like it could be a good fit for my apartment, but I’m worried that it will only fit him a couple of years.

What do you guys think? Anyone have any experience with these? Do they stretch out enough to fit his body once he becomes bigger than say 2 years old? It says it’s a convertible but I just can’t tell if it does anything more than be a mini crib turned twin sized bed frame.

OMG! I’M HAVING A BOY!

I could NOT be happier. I have a son! He’s what I’ve always wanted simply because I’ve had it in my mind ever since I was a little girl that my very first child would be a boy and I was so right! I’m ecstatic. Admittedly since I feel like I’ve known for many many years it wasn’t much of a shock or surprise, but more of a happy confirmation. Wow my beautiful little man ..

Here are his pics ..

I’m so proud of him and so was my mom we went shopping immediately after and bought him so much. He’s going to be SO spoiled.

I got to see a good shot of his face .. he’s still skeletal right now it was so weird. But I could tell in his face that he looked exactly like his daddy ..

Right now I’m very happy and filled with emotion .. I got curious what my baby is like at this point in my pregnancy (9 weeks) so I read a few articles and basically in all I learned that my baby is almost officially a human being! It has most of it’s body parts, it’s moving, annnnnd .. IT HAS A HEARTBEAT!

That’s just amazing to me and makes me wanna cry. Gosh, I want my baby so bad and cannot wait until it’s here. I wanna see it,kiss it, hug it. Right now it’s hard for me to believe there were ever times I did not want this

Wow
