"ay, mama...check it out"

These few words, I just knew I wouldn't hear pass high school. I don't know how other ladies feel, but I am so tired of this line. Do I really need to explain how I am hearing it? Well, when guys try to get at you this is what some call out. This is not all the time;however, it still happens quite frequently. I find it so annoying because it just lacks any kind of creativity. First of all, why are you calling me from a distance. Do you really expect for me to walk to you? Now when I first started this whole "boy chase girl" game, I admit I would walk to some guys. BUT THAT WAS EARLY JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL!! It didn't take long to start requesting that they meet me half way. By the time I was in high school, I wasn't walking to anyone...If you had something to say to me then you needed to catch up with me. Now, at 22 I still have to hear this sh*t.

Why do some guys ask you for your name and then immediately ask for your number? WHAT!?! Fool, you never even gave me your name!! I'm like why are guys so thirsty they want every pretty girl's number they encounter. I'm thinking in my head that maybe its the game of choosing. I know that has to be hard for guys to approach a girl and get rejected; however, I believe they get a lot of practice (all through grade school). You would think that they learn how to read females more and know who and who not to approach. But sometimes when I go out...I have to endure a guy trying to get at me, but not having anything to say...then when you tell them "I have a boyfriend"...they are like why didn't you tell me that first...I'm like so I am suppose to introduced myself as "Hey, My name is Raven and I have a boyfriend"...uhh, thats weird.

I think that guys and girls should stop over thinking this "boy chase girl (vice versa)" game because ITS NOT THAT INTENSE!! I believe if you step to the opposite sex (or the same, whichever you dig) you should ignore the fact that you all have different genitalia (or the same) and just start casual conversation. In a bar...ask what they are drinking...in a mall...ask them what they think about what your buying....at a bus stop...ask if they know a shorter route to your destination. Stay away from one word response questions!! Feed off the conversation!! NO MEANS NO!!

I'M JUST SAYING!!

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...

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...

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...
