Baby's Out - Now What?!

HHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!! I been gone for a minute now I'm back with the jump off. So the baby is OUT! The marriage has hit it's first year mark! NAW WHA GIRL! I have been asking myself that for that last week now. Today my little sweet baby is in his swing and mama has actually COOKED DINNER! Ya'll I done cookeded a meal! Like a meat and two sides type meal. I'm proud LOL! A few weeks ago I would be hoovering over him watching him sleep. Anywho - back to the question. What am I to do now that baby is out!?  GET TO THIS SHAMONEY IS WHAT!! Having my son didn't give me a surge of "I gotta get get iittt" (s/o to Jeezy) but it did give me a surge in a timeline. I have always said I want to buy my first house at this age, have this much done by this age and honestly all that moved up a few years now. It feels super weird getting back into business mode now with my son b/c quick jobs I used to do - I now need to find a reliable sitter that can be...

Is Pregnancy Weight Shaming A Thing?

I received an email saying that I was pregnancy weight shaming on my FB page. First things first -  I'm having a boy!!! I am so excited because (when i did want multiple kids because this pregnancy shit it tew murch and tew long) I wanted my oldest child to be a boy,  wanted my husband to have a son first, and I wanted our last name to move on to another generation. My husband is the only boy so yeah .... PRESSURE lol. So I received an email from someone on my facebook page saying I was body shaming pregnant women because I stated I was proud that I only gained 10 pounds and I was 6 months pregnant at the time. I'm still at 10 pounds and I'm in my 26th week. It said pregnant women should not be ashamed of how much weight they gain and how I was rude and "probably harming my baby" because I was being self centered worrying about my own weight. Now listen here ... I was already a thick girl umkay! According to records I was obese for my height, which...

Dear MEM - I Never Wanted To Be A Single Mom

Dear Shanice, First congratulation on your marriage and baby. My name is Breneesha and I am currently pregnant. My baby daddy and I did not plan on getting pregnant and it seems like as soon as I took the test our relationship went to shit. We were living together but he has basically moved out. We have never talked about having kids but we have been together a little over a year. I might see him once a week, and when I ask him where he is going or staying he literally ignores me and leaves. Last week I packed up all of his clothes and told him that he could leave for good and not come back. He is listed on the lease and still pays half the bills. He told me he wasn't going anywhere and once the baby was born he would be back staying full time. Full time? What does that mean? I told him I have basically went through this pregnancy alone and I am fine being a single mom. I have made my mind up that I am going to move into a one bedroom and live alone. I don't know what he is ...

I barely keep it together over here so we just gone keep Friday's as BABY UPDATES! Finally ending my first trimester here soon ( or already depending on which website you get on chillleeee that's another story ) I am crawling out of the sickness hole - ready to chat it up! So I knew about morning sickness before I got pregnant. I knew that, but ummmmmmm what I didn't know about is ALL DAY SICKNESS!! I suffered for about 2.5 months with all day sickness before I got my drugs . I mean I would hiccup and all hell would break loose! One day I coughed, did you read that .... I COUGHED ... and  had to grab the nearest bag to let loose. Dehydrated. Frustrated. Hungry. Just ....
