Babyshower Pix Finally Added!!!!!






Here are some photos of the baby shower... me, the cake & my pins...

I have been AWOL and I know I suck for it. But it is grading time and I am WIPED OUT! I can hardly concentrate for all the things I have to do. Maybe I am taking on too much (my m.o.) but I just finished one class and started another this past Saturday and because of my hand being injured I cannot write in class, grade papers and be on the blog too!!!! I can only do the necessary things in short spurts of time so this has definitely feel to the wayside...

Next week I am going to upload some photos of me from my babyshower its Novemeber 12th. I haven't linked the camera up to the computer so that will be done this week and the photos from the babyshowerwill be on the site next weekend.

The shower is going to be GREAT! I can't wait. It will be in NY and with all of my family and old friends from NY and college invited; it will be a great party even if I don't get a thing!!!!!!!!!!!

If you look closely you can see that he was moving!


I didn't notice it until my best male friend said that they were all different...

I thought that they were all alike but we went out for lunch the same day I got it done and I was so excited I didn't look that closely.


He is very active and above average wieght as far as Baby Center says he should be 5 oz but he is 7 oz which is encouraging.

So.... I had a sonogram...

IT'S A BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I am so happy that my intuition is still in tune. His name will be Joseph Christopher Langston Wallace. Yes, that is 3 names. Tihira has three as well. Tihira Rael Angelina Turrell.

I may name him Christopher Joseph Langston but he is named after my grandfathers that are no longer with us (Joseph & Langston). I didn't get to know at all (Langston) and one I loved (Joseph). My daughter is named after my grandmother (she was born on her birthday!!) and herself (lol).

He is so active it is ridiculous! He would not be still for the songram and the tech kept trying to get me to turn over on my left side because she thought he might calm down and change his position. He didn't!!

He was (is) in breech position stepping all over my internal organs mind you and wiggling all about. I read on one of my many websites that the movement is the baby learning about thier surroundings and helps create brain connections critical to their intellectual development ---- I guess he is going to be a genious!!!!!!!

So, Why a "Second - Time" Single Mom???


Trust and believe this was not a planned pregnancy. If it were left up to me, I wouldn't have any more children for another 3-4 years but I was careless and in my moment of indiscrestion, conceived a child.

Choices, choices one might say, but I made a promise to myself and to my God that I would not have another abortion (yes another- I said it!), that I would protect myself and if I failed at protecting myself, I would be responsible for the situation and life that I create.

That leaves me where I am today. Although I wish the circumstances were different, I know that things will work themselves out the way they should because I believe and have faith that they will.

No, they are not by the same father. No, I am not "with" either father. Yes, I know that this is probably going to be the most difficult undertaking of my life alone. Even with my first born, her dad was there and still is the best way he can, but the new life will have to probably go without his/her dad because of the situation and their (the father's) perception of what is going on. He would like to play the blame game and of course I am the one to blame because I can make this all go away with a trip to the Dr's office. Regardless of how that trip will leave me trippin' and perhaps slippin' into a deep depression. He feels the world revolves around him and his needs which is why we weren't actually together at the time of conception.

- It was one of those Luther moments ala "Rock Me Tonight For Old Times Sakes..." kind of thing that got out of hand when it came time for protection on both parties ends.

Needless to say, (or perhaps I should anyway) I love my child preconception and will never love them any less because of the circumstances they came to be. As the bible says we are all born of sin - some just a little more than others...

Pregnesia!!
Pregnesia- this is a condition that pregnant women get that causes severe amnesia and the inability to focus or concentrate on anything for more than 5 min. Kind of like ADHD but more like a preocupation with things internal and nesting and other background tasks your mind does to maintain the life of the baby...
I have a SEVERE case of this disease!!!! I actually lost my digital camera. I have NO IDEA where it could be but I know I had it in my house and I hid it from myself when I was cleaning up. I know what your thinking - maybe someone stole it... 

Only my soon to be born child's father has been here. Hmmmm.. you might say, (my girlfriend said "you better watch his ass you never know") why not him? but I just don't think he would stoop that low.
I misplaced my MJB cd and for weeks I could not find it anywhere! I just knew he had taken it and thrown it out of the window (he hates her - lol - hey wait a minute that should have been a clue to his character right there - EVERYBODY LOVES Mary!!) but I found it in the cd case of another damn cd - where I put it cleaning out the car....
The other day, I sat down the phone and for the life of me didn't know where the hell it was, guess where??
....the linen closet.
I am offically a space cadet.
yep pregnesia strikes again.

Silly Names!!!

I just realized that have posted very little about my growing belly!! 

I am showing just a lil bit but my sisters have taken to calling "the belly" - "lil eddie"!! 

My mother is so appalled it is ridiculous!!!!!!! 

My cousin (who is like 40 or so) just has a son and she calls him "lil eddie". I think that is why mother is so mad. She hates it!! 

LOLOLOLOLOL... So of course the two right after me call him that more! My youngest sister said she would call "the belly" "lil joe-joe" instead after I told her I will name him Joseph Langston after my two deceased grandfathers. 

At first she said "Langston!! EWHHH!!" I am going to call him that "hey lil langston" in a really irritating voice. LOL she is so silly...
I just re-read and realized that I am calling this baby a boy, I hope that if it is a girl she doesn't feel any kind of way about that... 

I just have a feeling that it is a boy though and my sister (the one who is the prayer warrior and psychic) says she thinks so as well - she said she just knows and I believe her.
