SURPRISE! I'm Pregnant With Baby #2!

   Trying to keep this a secret all summer was very hard. I'll just start right there lol. With Gabriella, I wasn't THIS sick and I wasn't in my first trimester during the summer. And if you know anything about pregnancy or have been pregnant before, you know the first trimester is the worst part of pregnancy. Morning sickness, mood swings, bloating, fatigue, sore boobs and an aching back, all rev up to 500% in dry Texas heat. If you follow me on social media, I'm sure you've noticed I barely did anything this summer, let alone take a selfie, because I really had zero energy and was sick to my stomach.
   SOOOO now that you know why I've been so anti-social, back to the good news at hand... I'm Pregnant, AGAIN! Lol. I can definitely say that this pregnancy is already so different from when I was pregnant with Gabby. I guess you can say I was lucky with her.


   Now I will be very honest with you guys... I'm still a single mother. Will this be harder for me?, yes. But will I be okay?, I always am. If you haven't noticed by now, I know how to take a bad situation and make it work out for good by my faith and the help of God. We all have life lessons to learn and everyone learns in a different way. Some get the lessons right off the bat, for others it takes more than one way to show them. I guess I'm just better learning the hard way haha.


How I found out-
   I just knew it. I felt it. I had to have only been like 2-3 weeks. My boobs were sooooo sore. When I took off my bra, it felt like rocks falling down in my chest. I was also sooooooo moody. Everyone I talked to, seemed to piss me off just by them opening their mouth. Lol. And finally, I was sooooooo hungry and always eating. And I'm not talking like snacks and little meals here and there. No. I craved STEAK, BURGERS (I don't even eat those anymore), EGGS AND CHICKEN FRIED STEAK. I was eating like a warrior. So yea....I just knew it. But you know you can't really take a pregnancy test until after you miss your period, so I had to wait a while. Then... I missed my period. Haha I immediately bought 3 ClearBlue tests and took them. All positive. By the way, I bought the ones that told you how many weeks you're supposed to be and I just wanted to let you all know, don't waste your money on that bogus s***. It said I was 2-3 weeks which was a lie because I had took the first day of my last period (which is what the doctors do) and calculated my weeks and due date online. I was definitely 5-6 weeks by the time I found out. I told my family the old fashioned way, by word of mouth, text messages, and phone calls. I won't sugar coat it for you all. I am blessed to have a family that is understanding but they also taught me to be independent and take responsibility for my mistakes and actions. When I told them, "It is what it is." "Take care of your s***" "It's gonna be hard but we're always here."

   Since then, my pregnancy has been of course sick and nauseating but like always it gets better eventually. I am due on Valentine's Day 2016. I am currently 15 weeks and 2 days. My next appointment, I will hopefully find out what I'm having. :)  I love my babies and would do anything for them. I'm blogging it all again!!! Welcome to my second pregnancy journey!

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!
