Finding Happiness thru the Storm

So, I am going through a lot of transitions

[I've been hearing a lot about the new moon. We had a new moon towards the end of September. This is a time of transition. A time to set back from your situation and to determine "intent." A period to make decisions and re-orient goals. SIDE NOTE: I've always shared this special connection with the moon. It so humbling and pleasant. Take a moment to look at it. Haven't you noticed that its always present, there is something special about that. It doesn't leave us..(as the sun comes and goes)]

These transitions has been making my personality a little unpredicatable. I've been having bad attitudes, depressing moods, sad faces....etc etc etc. For most who know me, this isn't typical. Well some of it (yea, I know I have a smart A** attitude, sometimes a bit selfish, demanding, yadi this yadi that lol). But the sad faces and depressed mood...isn't really my speed. However, I have a hard time isolating my emotions. When one thing in my life affects me...I allow it to take over my whole being...this isn't good!!! AT ALL!!

So....

In the past week, I am working consciously on finding my happiness. It is important to be happy! It is important to continue laughing and smiling. Even though everything isn't where I would like it to be in my life. It doesn't make any sense for me to let my emotions..as they say, "get the best of me"

Just my tid bit...take some time to yourself. Make sure you know what things make you happy. Don't let bad situations get you down. So...I smile because I woke up, I smile because my doggie is so cute, I smile because I can enjoy life on my bicycle. I'm just trying to stay happy!!

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...
