.:: Welcome ::.

Hi all my name is Crystal, I'm pregnant with my 1st baby -- she's a girl, and I'm excited. I am going to be a single mother but I do have the support of my child's father, my loving family, and my Lord! Can't go wrong with that combination.

3-12-08 -- I deleted all my previous blogs just trying to switch it up =) Maybe add some more pics!! Hope everyone is well ladies. Please pause my music and click below on the You Tube clip, it's Ricky Smiley doing a Prank call and mannn it's funny!

04-27-08: Long time no write. Everything is great here I made it through Spring semester and Lord knows I'm so looking forward to this summer break. I have 1 week of craming then its final time. My sweet little princess is doing great, I'm 30weeks now and she's about 3lbs. I have been told she'll be tall like me - i'm 5'8. And from her ultrasound pic i think she resembles her daddy already. I don't care I just want her to be healthy and happy. Thank God for my child, I think this baby is going to bring me much happiness in my life, I declare that as a matter of fact. I just need to finish up w/ my degree so I can better provide for her. Until next time...

05-17-08: Whoa, time is flying by now, about 48 days to go I guess. I can honestly say I really don't feel like doing anything. Sometimes I feel so lazy, but I just don't have any energy - honestly. I'm not sure if the baby is really growing or if I'm just turning into a fat bump on a log lol. I guess school and stuff really drained me. I saw The babies dad early this morning, I couldn't believe he came over here drunk like that with an even drunker friend with him... I don't understand the logic behind that excessive drinking but it seems to be they use alcohol as kind of like an 'escape' from reality.. Plus they're military guys so you know... Anyway Baby is great, I think she's a long little girl! I can't wait to kiss those little cheeks. I enjoy the attention from her dad and sometimes I wonder if we would've been happy together... Guess I'll never know huh? Well I'm blessed so why stress.

05-29-08: Today is Thursday, i had a doctor's appt. yesterday - 2 actually, a ultrasound and then my regular 2 week. Baby is doing good. 5lbs 12 ounces, she's gonna be pretty healthy i believe. I got her little changing table today. I wish I could hurry up and get into a 2 bedroom because her bedside bassinett thing called 'arms reach' hasn't even arrived yet nor the crib and once those large items get here my room will be PACKED! I talked to her dad today... He called to check on his baby... very sweet i think. It's because of him i'm able to get so much for her so I appreciate him. I'm tired now, i did a lot today, a lot more than I have in a long time. I'm all achy now lol. I've gained a lot of weight also.. But i guess you can always loose it later. I'm awaiting my official acceptance letter into the RN program at my school.. Kinda nerve recking. Now I go to the doctor's every week! Must be getting close huh? My baby shower is in 2 weeks - June 14th I'm looking forward to that. No other complaints just kicking back enjoying this free time before baby cakes get here. Take Care Ladies!

06-06-08: I think me and baby have like 28 days left together. I will miss her little kicks and pokes. And most importantly i will now have to share her with her father.. I have grown so used to having her all to myself. Today her dad got on my last damn nerve today. Boy he kept calling me just trying to pick a fight.. why i continued to answer the phone i do not know but I did, if he was in front of me I think i would've jabbed him lol. God it was so hot today I felt sick when I went to the grocery store. I had so much pressure in my abdomen I had to lean over the basket it hurt me so much. I believe it's called "lightening" when your baby moves down into the birth canal to prepare for birth. Oh it's uncomfortable at times. I can go the bathroom as much as 7-10 times per hour! NO JOKE - I HAVE GREAT NEWS, I was accepted into the RN program at Norfolk State Univ. One small step for me One great leap for me and my child's future. BABY shower is next weekend. We'll see how that goes. NEVER WAIT until your 37 weeks to have a baby shower lol bad idea.. I didn't know, this is my 1st baby plus it was my Aunt's idea. We're just waiting it out. I can't wait to meet my little baby girl. I thank God for helping me through this It's been quite a journey, yet the end is near! Stay tuned for details..

06-21-08: Okay I am now 38 weeks pregnant, I find out Wed. June 25th if I've dialated any. This has so be one of the most exciting events in my life. Seriously I am in a state of disbelief most of the time. I can't believe in like less than 2 weeks I will be able to hold this little baby that I have been carrying around for months and she will nurse off my raggedy breasts lolllll and enjoy it! I have so much stuff for this little girl I just don't know what to do with myself. How can i be in denial that I'm having a baby and i'm huge and she moves all the time, i dont know, but i seriously think i AM! Anywho working from home is heaven let me tell u! Well I dont have much to write just trying to stay cool and about to find something to snack on. Until next time be blessed and don't stress!

6-27-08: Well PinkNeptune.. I have the feeling we're in this together and maybe we'll both have July babies. I have like no symptoms of labor at alllllllll baby loves it in there. Tomorrow is Baby Daddie's b-day. Old Man will be 34 yrs old, bless his heart. Well I punked out on the 25th so who knows if I've dialated any? I've heard the popping noise for sometime though so maybe thats my cervix effacing and i'll have a speedy delivery! YAY! Who knows. I'm just sitting back enjoying this free time because seriously when baby gets here -- it is truly all about them. NO ONE CARES ABOUT U ANYMORE LOL! Everything is Everything, I am truly hungry all the time and my diet sucks.. im very concerned about this especially seeing as though i'm going to breastfeed. I think i need to tighten up! Life's too short to be a professional piglet. I don't have much to say just up early in the morning crazy stopped by here all late last nite keeping me and baby up.. i guess he's excited also, whatever, anyway until next time...

7-03-08: Well tomorrow is supposed to be my babies big day...but-ter-rum it doesn't look like she wants the 4th of July to be her birthday. I went to the doctor yesterday and I wasn't even 1cm dialated. So right now we shall sit and wait until I get a sign!! I think My baby loves it in there... =) I'm just ready to meet her. I'll keep everyone posted.
