The UC Fling!!

Yea, the University of California fling!! That was my freshman year. I would visit UCB very frequently because I had friends that I went to high school with there. I also went home a lot my freshman year, and the UC Berkeley $10 roundtrip shuttle bus was the business!! Because I was at the UCB campus so much...it felt like my extended campus. I went to their parties, dorms, step shows, etc.

I started to see this one guy....uhh, Marcus. So Marcus was a little cutie pie. I would see him at everything college related in the Bay Area, it was kinda weird. So, I started to inquire about him. I knew a little information about him because I had spoke to him on a few occasions. I asked a few of my friends about him and whether or not they knew him. They gave me the lowdown scope. I told them to put in a good word for me and to let him know that I was tryna see what was up. Well it ended up being that we were apart of the same club (was I was a member of the club on my campus). So one evening meeting that I had to attend was at the UCB campus. And guess who was there? Marcus!! I figured this was my chance to make my move. After the meeting, we started having casual conversation. Things were good from there!!
We started talking on the phone, and UCB literally became a second home!!

My roommates also had little flings at UCB, so we would make joint trips there!! It was kinda funnie. I am not sure the reason why me and Marcus didn't quite blossom...but he is a very smart, kind, funnie guy. I am sure that he has or will find someone for him...

32 weeks...its getting closer!

Art in the back is so representative of this experience. Local DC Artist Officially 8 weeks away! I'm getting more excited everyday just to see this little boy of ours. My pastor continues to remind me that "when a child is born, so is the mother." I am still having a hard time imagining what this means to be someone's mother. Although, I have 'mothered' the cutest little yorkie for 9 years, lol, I only imagine this experience being so much differently.   At this point, I am mostly just tired. Like tired all the time. Like tired and easily annoyed. Like tired and don't want to be bothered. Like tired! LOL. I am looking forward to maternity leave. I am not rushing my delivery, I just want to be at home, cuddled up and eating, lol. My mom got me this 'maternity ball'. It is basically the big ball in any gym/exercise room. OMG, this things works wonders. The lower back pain is something serious. But sitting on this ball and moving around helps...

and just like that, I am a Mother!

First day home! And finally the day has come. Magnus Baimarro Barley was born on New Year's Day! What better way to start the new year! Magnus entered this world on January 1, 2019 at 12:13 EST. He weighed 6.36 pounds and measured at 19 3/4 inches. Magnus is literally everything I could never imagine. And this is the story of how he entered the world... Ever since I hit 38 weeks, I became more and more anxious about his arrival. I literally was dreaming about it constantly. I would constantly wake up in the morning hoping my bed was wet from my water breaking. It had seriously become an obsession. Not only an obsession, but also causing great anxiety. As I was approaching my 40 week mark, I had to start having conversations with my doctor about scheduling an induction at 41 weeks. So, we had that on the schedule. But, I really didn't want to have to be induce because of what I hear about how it can extend labor. So, I started to look into ways to naturally induce. Pineapp...

36 weeks! Officially 9 months preggers!

Photo Taken by Daddy, Edited by Mommy Well what a journey this has been! I would say it doesn't feel like it has been that long, but I would definitely not be telling the truth. LOL. It has been very long, but I am not rushing it. I want him to take the time he needs to be fully developed, strong and ready to go. Photo Taken by Uncle Roy; edited by Mommy At this point, I am about 95% prepared for his arrival. I have taken the hospital visit, birthing classes, crib and baby things are up and organized, bookcase is being constantly filled, interview with pediatricians this week, etc etc. I have to pack my hospital bag, but I am not going to over do it. My main essentials are my wireless speaker because I need some good music bringing life into this world, a candle because I want a nice aroma, and other lady essentials because I don't want to get caught up feeling gross. LOL The body is tired! I am still working however; but the body is tired. It is like my mind can...
