Press Rewind

By
Did someone just hit the fast forward button on my life? I cannot believe this year is almost over and my baby will be 1 soon! What is that? Can someone just press rewind? Seriously! LOL! I am so not ready for my little baby to grow up. Okay I know he is only turning 1, but I am going to miss my little teeny baby that I could just cuddle without protest. I guess it has to happen some time, huh? It's definitely a bittersweet reality. I am excited to see his growth, but I am going to miss him being solely dependent on mommy.

Alright, no more sappy talk. It's been a while since I have blogged. My baby boy is doing all kinds of things now!  Desi will be 11 months on Dec. 7th. He is developing into an adventurous, curious, observant and social little boy. He is not walking just yet, but he pulls up and cruises from one piece of furniture to another. He turns the lights off and on and points to the light when asked. He rubs his belly when asked, "where's your belly?" He makes a monkey sound when we ask, "What sound does the monkey make?" He mimics our dog. He tried to pull his pants up today when I was dressing him! I thought that was wild (no I am not exaggerating. He actually tried to pull his pants up!). He says doggie, mama, dada, banana, and bubble. He trying to say other words as well. He identifies objects when we ask where they are. He opens and closes books and turns pages (he LOVES story time). When Desi and I are at the sink he puts his hands together to wash his hands. Man, I can go on and on. I hope I got everything. It's amazing to see him doing all of this. He is just soaking his environment in and myself and my husband love educating him on what he sees and experiences.

I am so proud of my little baby and I am so proud to be his mommy. I love this job! Okay, I am going to try to post another blog soon. I just wanted to share those beautiful milestones with the motherhood. Please share your stories with me.

Night Night!

Poop Catcher

By
Hello!! I've been gone for a while, but for good reason. I was studying for my state exam for my insurance license. I passed! I am now licensed to write and sell auto and home policies. Woo hoo! So I got my life back. Hubby was so great during this time. He took care of everything and supported me tremendously. Now, Desi was supportive as well. He would join in on my studies. "Want to study with chew mommy," he would say. When I passed, he said "Good job mommy! So proud of you!" (of course daddy coached him). It just warmed my heart. Anyway,  I have to share this hilarious story with you all. One night, earlier last week, we are trying to get Desi to poop in the toilet.  He just refused to sit his little butt down on the seat. We knew he had to poop, so we really wanted him to get on the toilet. My husband was speaking with his mother on the phone and she heard the commotion. She suggested that we just let him go pamperless for the night before going to bed. T...

Brown Tears

By
I prefer the color purple rather than the color pink. Purple is the color I like the most because I think it is beautiful. A month ago my son revealed his color preference and I wasn't prepared. It has taken me some time to think about whether I would write about this topic or not as it is pretty sensitive but in the end I feel like not writing about it would bring a constant nagging that would be hard to escape. About a month ago, my oldest son, Desmond asked me to place my hand up against his hand and I did not understand why. He analyzed his hand and mine and proceeded to say, "I wish I had you and Omari's color brown." My heart betrayed me and stopped. All my senses went numb. I couldn't believe what my wonderfully made son just said. I asked him why he felt that way and he said that my brown and his brother's brown was a better brown because it's lighter. I pushed past the ringing in my ear and lovingly asked him if someone at school was saying mean ...

Heart of the Matter - Pt. 2

By
In my last post I wrote about an issue I'm having with my health. Do we know what that issue is yet? No. The results came back regarding my heart and all is well. I have a healthy heart! I am so glad that those results were negative. However, the question still remains. What is going on with my body? I had a follow-up appointment with my primary care doctor last week and they advised that my latest blood test showed that my C-reactive protein levels and my sedimentation rate was really high. Which indicates that there is inflammation in my body. They are not sure what is causing the inflammation so they want me to follow up with the Rheumatologist. This is not the first time that I've heard that my C-reactive protein is high. Years ago, I was under the care of a different primary care doctor. I presented with the same issues and he did a blood test and said my C-reactive protein was high. He suggested I see an infectious disease doctor. Results for those tests (i.e  Lyme diseas...
