The Missing Asian

Uhh, Please don't take offense...I have to make a disclaimer..because I don't want people attacking me..lol, honestly I don't really care...CUZ I SAY WHAT I WANT!! #1 in the Constitution..."Freedom of Speech" and I effing love it...ohh, tangent...let me get back to the topic.

The Missing Asian. Interesting title, huh? All around me, I've been seeing Asian women with white guys? What's that about? I heard something about white men have some sort of fascination with Asian women because of their "traditional" submissive behavior. They are infatuated by the Asian women "exotic" features.

Anyways...all of these Asian women are having mix children...then their children date white men...and so on and so on...I suppose I shouldn't generalized Asian. I am specifically talking about the Chinese and Vietnamese communities. And predominately 1st generation (ABC..yeah I know my Asian slang, lol, American Born Chinese). I am not of Asian descent, and never took an Asian American Studies Class...so I am not too sure why this has become the case. But I do have a theory...

While in school I noticed that the Chinese and Vietnamese students were not as heavily active in cultural activities. During Asian pride week...you mostly seen Filipinos or Hmong people who were involved. It seemed as if Chinese and Vietnamese students did not associate themselves with the underrepresented communities. I understand as an immigrant most Asian people come to America to get a better life. They come to America and really tried to adjust to what it means to be American. Maybe some cultural things get lost in this transition? Maybe having mix babies or dating white men...will make you more American-like? I am not sure...I am not an expert on this...I can only go from what I see..

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...
