Hi, I'm the New Mother!

By
I wish I had thought about blogging sooner because I would have had so much information about my new motherhood from birth to present. But it's cool, I'm not going to grow any worry lines over that one.

My husband and I had our son, Desmond, on January 7, 2011. He was 5lbs 13oz and 20 inches long. I swear I thought I was looking at myself being born all over again! He looked just like me. My poor husband was so sad that our son didn't look like him. Deep down I was saying, "Shoot, I carried him for 9 months, he better come out looking like some part of me!" Truthfully, I think he is a great combination of his father and myself. Love you hubby! He looks like you baby, don't worry! ;-)

So it's been 5 months since I have moved into the motherhood and I feel so welcomed! My son (I call him Desi, Desi Pooh, Desi-kins, Gummi Bear...oh you get the point, right?) is so beautiful and he is growing so fast. I cleared out all of his newborn clothing around his 3 month birthday and nearly had a total emotional breakdown. My baby's growing up! I'm so not ready for that, but I know it is inevitable so I gotta brace myself for it.

Being a first-time mommy is amazing. I am so happy that I have the priviledge of taking care of this beautiful little life God has given me. Just looking into my baby's eyes and seeing my own eyes is so utterly breathtaking. I don't want to be anywhere else but where I am right now. Of course, I can stand a little break or two here and there because things can get pretty hectic and if I am not careful, I can forget all about me. Like somedays I'm saying to myself, "did I even wash my face?" I stay at home with Desi, so it's pretty easy to forget that sometimes. Oh, speaking of staying home, mommies if you have the opportunity to stay home with your child, take full advantage. It's nothing like waking up to the beaming eyes of your child in the morning and not having to rush out the door to head to work. If you and your significant other can work things out financially to make that happen, go for it.

I am probably going all over the place with this blog, but who needs structure at 1:00 in the morning? There are so many things I want to talk about and I will try to make things more structured. I won't make any promises on that. So if ya don't like where I'm going with this post (speaking on structure), don't follow me (kindly speaking). I don't want you to feel like you're wasting your time. LOL! Anyway, I can't wait to post more, but for now, I got to close my eyes before Desi starts searching for mommy's milk. I hope to hear from some of the mommies out here in the motherhood. Please feel free to post a comment.

Night Night!!!

Who Are You My Beloved?

By
After watching a series of Iyanla Fix My Life episodes I felt compelled to write a post about who I am as a woman. Have I truly explored that question? Who is Aisha? I have all these parts that make up the whole but what is the whole? Let's break it down by the parts first. A part of me is: 1. A wife 2. A mom 3. A daughter 4. A sister These positions in life add to who I am. Now WHO AM I at my core? Here is what I am discovering: I am a woman who has a great deal of love and respect for Jehovah God. This is the biggest part of who I am. How I move in life, whether it be spiritually,  physically,  emotionally or mentally, is wrapped up in my relationship with Jehovah. I am a woman who cares about the well being of others and is moved to help where necessary. I do not like to be overbearing and I am very sensitive to others feelings. I am observant and intuitive. At times I can be proactive and at other times I can be reactive and I am okay with that. I am a woman that lo...

Let's Play?

By
I think I have lost my ability to play. Many times I wonder where my imagination has gone. I admire those moms that can think of myriads of play activities. I can't think of a single one. So when I say to Desi, "Wanna play with mommy?" When he says "yes" (sometimes he will say "no mommy") I am thinking, "okay what should we do?" I get slight anxiety. LOL! We'll run around and play with cars, but I'm not sure if that is enough. I guess I can google activities to do with a 1 1/2 year old, but shouldn't this come naturally? I don't know why this is an issue to be honest. I feel pretty silly even writing about it but I am hoping I am not the only one in the motherhood feeling this way.  Case in point, Desi and I were playing at the park the other day. He goes to sit down in the mulch and he says to me, "sit mommy, sit." I sit with him and start wondering what should we do. So I pick up two sticks and we have a stick f...

It's Bedtime!

By
I love the bedtime routine we have set out for Desi. He gets his bath and a good rub down. We say a prayer with daddy and we read 2 books. The first book is always "My Book of Bible Stories" and the second book is "The Snuggliest Snuggle in the World." I bought the second book for Desi when I was 3 months pregnant and I just knew and felt that it was going to be his favorite book. Mommy's intuition did not steer her wrong! He loves the book! He really gets into the voices I make for each character, we point out colors and animals. He will turn the page and when the story is over I say, "The end. Okay close the book Desi." He will, then, close the book. I tell him night night and we go over to the light switch. I tell him to turn the light off and he turns the light off. A moon is projected on the wall so we say goodnight to the moon and I turn on the heartbeat sound on the projector. He gives mommy a hug and I put him in his crib. He holds my hand unti...
