Do Tell

He's here! He's here! Hospital Stay I had Jay on 10-24-2017 at 8:08pm. I got to the hospital on Tuesday and was released that Friday around 11:00am. After I had Jay the first person I saw was My Mommy. My Dad would have been the first but there was a mix up in communication. SMH. LOL The board in my first room read "Baby Boy Thomas" the second room said "Welcome Javaree". The staff were great, I ate good and gave the nurses a COSMOBRACELET for their help. Home,Finally. The first person to come and see us was my friend Ayiese!! Whoop Whoop - She came to see Jay the day he came home. Her and Stuart are Jays God parents. The first day, as with all babies, he slept; All we could do was stare at him. I took a breastfeeding class so I could be prepared to feed him and OMG, what a challenge. You have to be READY to breastfeed, LOL. Its going good though. Practice makes Perfect.....or close enough. Hi Sassy, Meet Jay Sassy stayed at the P

Heyyy. Yes, I am READY! LOL These past few weeks have been trying but as with all task I handle them and move right along with my day. Luckily I still haven't experienced any morning sickness, dizziness, or back pain. I've had my share of pregnancy problems though.....I'm hungry and thirsty almost all day. LOL. If its good, I want it. This has brought on so much weight and all I can tell myself is that I'll lose it after the baby. "Order my steps Lord" We took the Infant CPR class which I would recommend for any new parents to take especially if you have no clue of what to do in emergency situations. (We were the only blacks in the class).When I was wasn't practicing on the dummy they provided I was eating cookies and plotting on how many I can take home when class was over. Hehehe! My last doctors appointment is set for tomorrow at 8:30am and his due date is 4 days away! Come through Jay! Here are a few pics I wanted to share.... It's

Heyyyy!!! The time is near. The baby shower was on August 19th at the Appleton Museum in Ocala, Florida. It was amazing and the turn out was All That. We are still getting gifts and cards in the mail for those that couldn't attend.  We are one lucky couple!! I have already hung the letters JAY on the wall in his room right along with his 4D picture that was available for family and friends to sign at the shower. He's going to be born at Holy Cross hospital in Fort Lauderdale, Florida which is only 10 minutes away from us so Thank God, when its time to get there we'll be there in no time. A week ago we went on the hospital tour and Omg I was too excited to find out what happens the day I check in. The hospital is super nice, the staff seem friendly. They have suites available upon request at no charge and the best news I got was that they serve you baked fresh cookies on day 1 and day 2 they give you a birthday cake. How cool is that?  In a few days we'll b

98 more days to go... Whoop Whoop! Time is ticking......I am 26 weeks Today! 3 months left to go! Jay is approx 2 pounds My stomach is big like a soccer ball and Jay is sitting very low.  My Nose is spreading. Sleeping is not that fun because I cant get comfortable. I can feel him kick at night. ....and the heartburn is serious.  Yesterday I spent time signing us up for child caring and Infant CPR classes. I'm going to take them through Holy Cross hospital which is the hospital he will be born at. Lucky for us its right up the road so if I need to get there I'll be there in 10 minutes....7 minutes with Javaree driving. My last appointment my doctor asked that I walk everyday and that I also do some type of yoga class. I was doing good at first...walking 3-4 times a day for 30-45 minutes but now its like "Ummmmm...maybe tomorrow" and I've been like this for 2 weeks due to the heaviness at the bottom of my stomach. This week its been raining a l

Hey!! I am 20 weeks and 5 days. My pregnancy app is finally starting to make some sense to me.  I'm hungry right now! I've peed twice in the last 20-30 minutes. And I have to go buy another bra today....this one is fairly new that I have on and its fitting me crazy already! Yesterday I tried to take a sexy time picture in a 2 piece outfit I bought to wear around the house and that didn't work. I kept going to the mirror thinking "Whyyyyyy" lol. I guess this is really not the time to be trying to look sexy. If anything I need to feel comfortable and relaxed. I did take some pictures though....Stay tune I may get brave and post it on here. Thank God I still have not experienced the whole morning sickness phase, I believe that phase is gone although I often read some Moms-to-be are sick the entire pregnancy. Bummer! Currently, I am at 186 OMG...not a big deal though its all apart of being pregnant right? Just the other day I wa

Heyyy! I'm still here not much poking out going on *stretches eyes* If you ask me I look full! LOL These past weeks have been cool. I've went from walking 2.5 miles a day to walking a mile in a half 4-5 times a week. I'm still reading a lot which is why I think I cut down on my walking. Google says you're doing too much if you cant hold a conversation while walking. I can hold a conversation but geez its obvious I'm breathing hard, lol. I don't really speed walk but I do keep up a fast pace so anyway, I calmed down and besides that OMG the heat is crazy right now. Other issues have came...my belly is starting to itch me, Its time to grab the Aloe. I think my booty trying to do something cause I been scratching back there too. Google says when you start to itch that means that you're growing so hereeee we go. Why do I always Google? Great question! I almost don't speak with anyone about the details of what to expect because everyone starts off wi

Its been a month since my last post. Symptoms are minimum (TYJ) but I'm always hungry- Geesh! Its obvious why pregnant women gain so much weight. Food is the cure for everything with me. I wake up feeling sluggish, I eat, then I'm good. If I can't sleep at night, I go to the fridge and grab a snack then I'm good. I do my daily walk (2.5 miles a day) I get back home and I'm starving, I eat then I'm good. Its safe to say that "Food Rules Everything Around Me". Just last night I noticed some lower back pain and "GOOGLE SAYS" that this can come from many things such as my sleeping position, my growing belly, running, walking, bending...basically anything can bring upon some discomfort at this point. Google never gives a straight up answer so then you're left on this internet hunt to diagnose yourself of reasons why. All in All being pregnant will bring upon such changes so I just handle it like a big girl and besides its not that bad so fa

“The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.” and so in you the child your mother lives on and through your family continues to live… so at this time look after yourself and your family as you would your mother for through you all she will truly never die.”-OSHO So yesterday was the moment. I went to a women's clinic up the street, they opened late, I was the first one in and the lady gave me a cup and 5 minutes later she said - Positive, Congratulations. This was a free clinic I located online because I was too anxious to wait for my appointment which is scheduled for this Tuesday at 1:30 pm. On my way to the clinic I did a short video for Vari to see along with a few snaps to capture the upcoming moments. My heart was beating fast on my way there but its only because I knew they would confirm what I already knew- Thanks Walgreen's! In 2 days we will cele

Well Hello 2017 I hope everyone started the New Year or the end of   2016  off with goals to achieve.  Did you know hiring tends to pick up just after the holidays? Yessssss, especially those businesses that start off the new year with a new budget. If you do plan to look for work, though, expect some stiff competition. People who really want to find new work this year will need to make sure that they stand out from the crowd. One way to do that is to get your resume in tip-top condition. I send emails with tips, facts and suggestions when requested so in this case I wanted to share my most recent interaction.  My customers reach out to me via email at showoff82@gmail.com with their resume and I pretty much take it from there. As much as I LOVE face to face interaction phone and email has worked for us just as good!  My response below to a recent resume sent in on behalf of a friend: Ok, formatting is KEY!!! but I can resolve that! A few things in mind of
