4th of July 2013!!!!

Happy Birthday America!!!
This fourth of July was so special because I got to spend it with some very special people. And what made it all better was that I had my baby girl there with me! Last year, she was in my belly and I was engulfed with hormones and ate up by mosquitoes. Lol so you can guess it wasn't the best fourth of July last year. But since she is finally here for holidays, we spent it special! 

My family from Louisiana came down and that made it extra special because last year thats who I wanted to spend it with the most. Our morning started bright and early and the BBQ cooking quickly went underway. But Claud (as usual) told me at the last minute that his family was having a cookout that day too. So we spent an hour and a half at his family's house just so we could say hi and then came back to my house to actually eat. After we all ate, my friend Breanna Gurley came over and it was a fun night. We all packed up in our cars and drove to the park in Duncanville for the fireworks. We even brung along our dog Pippen! We met up with Armoni and we watched the fireworks in celebration of our beautiful country's independence! 

God Bless America!

Baby Shower Planning: The Basics

As I revealed to you all this past Thursday, I am expecting a baby girl in December. As with any other big life changing moment, there is a lot of planning going into things. I'm planning a baby budget, planning doctors visits and scheduling them around other things I have to do with work and school, planning when things need to be done by, and most of all planning a much needed baby shower. For every parent I think a baby shower is necessary. Especially for a single parent like me. A baby shower gives some time for family members and friends to get together and celebrate the fact that you have a new addition coming soon. Whether its your first child or fifth child, you choose a baby shower that fits your needs. This is my first baby. So there are many reasons behind my shower. As a single teen mom, I need all the help I can get. My family and my baby daddy's family need to get to know each other, and most of all I want to celebrate this new change I am about to e...

Gabriella is 4 months old!

My big girl is 4 months today!!! I feel like crying. As a matter of fact I did. Lol. I can't believe that I'm already "looking back" at her old pictures and videos from when she was a newborn. Now she is just growing by the minute and I thought I was prepared for these moments but it looks like I'm not. I'm already starting to think of her 1st birthday lol. Can't tell the thoughts and ideas of those yet :P This week is an exciting week. Since Gabriella is now 4 months old, she has to get her second round of immunizations. So this Friday we are going to the doctor. And then Saturday we are getting ready to develop her next milestones... starting rice cereal and crawling. :) We're going to take a trip to Babies R Us and buy her a highchair and some baby jumpers and walkers! I'm strangely excited for this new stage in both of our lives. She's become more aware and used to how her new world works. No more swaddling! Sorry I haven't been...

My Last Month of High School! :(

I can't believe that starting Wednesday, it will be my last month of high school. It feels like not too long ago I was in the 4th grade imagining my high school senior year. Now it has finally come to reality. With a few exceptions and changes to that reality lol. I didn't know that I would be going to an arts school, and I definitely never expected to be a high school mom. But all those unexpected things are what makes my life better than expected :) In this final month, there will be so many activities we will be doing so keep checking back later!
