<span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Can i feel it? </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Is it strong? </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Is it frequent?</span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Well the answer was usually</span><span style="color: lime; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"> 'not really feel it and if i do once in a while'.</span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Then came the issue of severe heartburn. So i decided to go on a milk versus water diet. And then an explosion occurred. </span><span style="color: red; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Baby started somersaulting non- stop. And i do mean non-stop!!!</span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">I can hardly catch a breath before i feel the grinding rotation and staining of muscles. I can even see the nice 360 degree rotational movements. Talk about surprise!!</span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">My only fear now is this. If milk makes the baby hyper, am i ever going to sleep once he/she is here? </span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">O Lord my God PLEASE give unto me a restful child. </span>tothecradlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00826046891853643903noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6996951588539054002.post-71833063000041795452012-02-20T14:21:00.000-08:002012-02-20T14:23:28.166-08:00I LOVE MY HUSBAND<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wA-QMFmRmzQ/T0LGNG9xTUI/AAAAAAAAAAw/APoLq559elY/s1600/196.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="210" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wA-QMFmRmzQ/T0LGNG9xTUI/AAAAAAAAAAw/APoLq559elY/s320/196.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">So i understand men are really from another planet than women. We read different meanings into the same statements. </span><br />
<div><span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">It is so weird that sometimes you think you are going crazy. You wonder 'How can he act so clueless'? At this point you remember ohhhhhh not a girl.</span><br />
<div><span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">It is frustrating getting to the middle ground of understanding. Trying not to get your emotions hurt or hurting his (Trust me he has them even though he may hide them most of the time).</span></div><div><span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Sometimes you wonder what was i getting upset about? Other times you are a dog in a manger and wont let issues go. </span></div><div><span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">These pregnancy hormones are so not helping. Coupled with the fact that i have not had a hubby hug in a while. Travelling is really the pits. Temporary separation really does take it's toll. I don't know how many young couples do it these days. It is fine when you are dating but once married it a whole new ballgame. </span></div><div><span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><span style="color: cyan; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">I love being hugged and tickled. <br />
I love those quiet secret smiles. <br />
I love the mug of hot chocolate in the morning. <br />
I love the occasional bed in breakfast. <br />
I love the dates on a weekend. <br />
I love the way he holds me when i am sleeping. <br />
I love the way he walks beside the road on the sidewalk. <br />
I love the way he wants to slay all my dragons.</span><br />
<div><span style="color: red; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Ohhhh how i love my husband.</span></div><div><span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="color: lime; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Baby you have a wonderful father. Even though we may sometimes have our differences of opinion or misunderstandings, i will never regret my choice. When you come out you will see.</span></div></div>tothecradlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00826046891853643903noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6996951588539054002.post-76943523275964914982012-02-18T05:15:00.000-08:002012-02-18T05:16:55.200-08:00MUSICAL PREFERENCE<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JYvqH43JqPM/Tz-hjnkq9AI/AAAAAAAAAAo/-IxCHqqpZNk/s1600/bld082025.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JYvqH43JqPM/Tz-hjnkq9AI/AAAAAAAAAAo/-IxCHqqpZNk/s200/bld082025.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">The experiment of the day. What music does baby like?</span><span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">So i woke up this morning to this grand idea to find what the baby likes.</span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">My inspiration? Heart in the box. Trust me only a Grey's anatomy fan would understand the reasoning.</span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">The simple explanation is if i play something the baby likes i feel kicking and dancing. lol.</span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Not sure if it worked but so far the baby likes an eclectic mix of Glee, Kirk Franklin, Yolanda Adams, Rod Stewart, Third day, Cademon Call, D'Banj, Nikki Laoye, etc.</span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">See my problem? It is not a single genre. It is a very scary mix that does not seem to make sense. Sigh. From now on baby is just going to listen to the ipod on shuffle and thats that.</span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">I love you little me. Stay nice and snug till we meet. </span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Happy 26 weeks!!!</span>tothecradlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00826046891853643903noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6996951588539054002.post-37452378130456357082012-01-17T02:22:00.000-08:002012-02-18T05:18:00.504-08:00KICKING?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kOQFcjmPbKo/TxVKfh8DsRI/AAAAAAAAAAg/HnURa9z5rGI/s1600/baby-foot-womb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kOQFcjmPbKo/TxVKfh8DsRI/AAAAAAAAAAg/HnURa9z5rGI/s200/baby-foot-womb.jpg" width="186" /></a></div><span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">The baby started moving this week!!! yay!!</span><br />
<div><span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">I am please to say that the different pains have stopped. (At least for now).</span></div><div><span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="color: red; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">On the separate note, i hate some of the doctors i have seen recently. They have the sensitivity of goats. Honestly you would think they were brought up in the jungle. </span></div><div><span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">This is the most vulnerable time in a woman's life. She needs her questions answered in a calm reassuring manner. All i got was a rushed don't waste my time reply to all my questions. That absolutely sucked.</span></div><div><span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">I have decided little babe and i are in God's hands. No one else's. This is God's way of making sure that no doctor shares in HIS glory.</span></div><div><span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Till next time, here is me incubating!!</span></div>tothecradlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00826046891853643903noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6996951588539054002.post-16986401308464086572012-01-07T04:48:00.000-08:002012-02-18T05:17:38.477-08:00EHYEH ASHER EHYEH<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Dwm0EOlYVYw/Twg85XWAFdI/AAAAAAAAAAY/HzYjxFFjsHI/s1600/mercy_mono.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Dwm0EOlYVYw/Twg85XWAFdI/AAAAAAAAAAY/HzYjxFFjsHI/s200/mercy_mono.jpg" width="155" /></a></div><span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">God is really THE I AM for every situation. I am so grateful Lord. The pain in my left side is gone. </span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Thank God who made paracetamol and inspired us to discover it.</span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Thank</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">God who allowed it to work in my situation.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Thank</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">God who wont give me more than i can bear. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Jehovah Effizy!! You are too much. All gbosas to you.</span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">My appeitite has returned with a bang but i am being careful so i dont put on too much weight. I have not felt the kicks yet but someday soon my little precious will kick.</span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Then will my mouth be filled with laughter, and my tongue with singing: then will i say among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for me. (Psalm 126:2</span><span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">).<br />
<br />
Thank you Lord for bringing me safely to this halfway point. I am trusting you to take both of us to the finish line safely.<br />
<br />

<span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">I think the reason the pregnant community hides the truth is because if anyone found out our race would go extinct.</span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">The first trimester was a breeze. The usual morning sickness that everyone tells you about. </span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Eating weird things. (Mine was hot chilli).</span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Constipation.</span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">General tiredness.</span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Fibroid.</span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">And funny funny a blocked nose.</span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">For the blocked nose my kind doctors refused to give me anything for a few days even though i was slowly suffocating. Only when it looked like my death was imminent (which would affect the baby) did i get a prescription for an over the counter med which sorted me out in a day.</span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Now i am in my second trimester and what i have is this nasty pain in my side that wont go away plus loss of appetite. </span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Also i am experiencing something called sciatica which is where the nerves in my ass are killing me as well.</span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">As usual the doctors don't have anything to give me except paracetamol. </span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The first question they have is </span><span style="color: lime; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">"Are you bleeding?"</span><span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> and if you are not, then there is nothing seriously wrong with you. It's like you don't exist and all the care if for the baby. Your pain or comfort means nothing. It's like your body has been taken over by an alien but all everyone cares about is how to make said alien comfortable, happy and healthy. I would just like to come first sometimes. sigh.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">All in all i feel crappy and i am going to be using this wonderful blog as my outlet.</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Just like it says it is my journey to the cradle.</span>tothecradlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00826046891853643903noreply@blogger.com0
