Our Pineapple Chunk monster🍍🍍🍍 No one told us that it would be like having our beating hearts outside of our chest. This little blessing is two halves turned into a whole. Our happy chunky brat ♡ ● Loves. . . Anything revolving in getting attention. Even when he doesn't want to be "touched". Loves 🍊 oranges, bathtime, silly sounds, skin to skin cuddles to fall asleep, playtime with daddy, grabbing anything on mommy (hair, earrings, neck fat, boobs, glasses, shirt... etc), chewing on his hands even if the mittens are on 😐... ● Hates. . . People in his face too suddenly, dirty diapers, cold milk 🍼, laying down, silence, having his drool (ocean) wiped off his face... ● He's a pretty happy, healthy baby if you ask us 😊😊😊 surprisingly so since there's no manual on that. I guess our love is enough? Lol ● #RaisingJesiah #BlackFamily #BlackYoungAndBroke #LoveMadeAnOops Lmbo #GodGotUs #ItTakesAVillage #StrengthenedByOurVillage #StillHustlingNoExcuses #OnePublicNYC #AfricanAmericanHaitianBaby #BlackBaby #RaisingABlackBoy #QueenAndKingRaisingAPrince (at Somewhere In Brooklyn)

There's something vaguely romantic about being in denial. ● It's been a 53 weeks since we learned about Jesiah, 10 to 7 months since we 'kinda' accepted our new reality... 'kinda', 6 months since our last minute (should have been canceled but Michey & Lisa wouldn't hear of it) babyshower Anddddddddd 4 months & change since Jesiah was born. ● The crib... just went up... yesterday. And that's only because when @its.mariahxoxo comes to see you, she feeds you and see what needs to be done. Even if you're very consciously trying to stall and come up with every excuse as to why there's no reason for certain things to get done. ● I (Jackie, not Tyler lol he's pretty much always has the hang on to reality) have seriously been in denial since the beginning. This beautiful, chunky, blessed baby boy who laughs when you roll your tongue has very much taken over my life but it's crazy how sometimes I still wake up and I am surprised by this new reality. I was in denial for ALL of my pregnancy that the fact he's here now has fully transitioned into my brain. So yeah, his crib went up yesterday 😂😂😂 ● Not like he's going to sleep in it though but that's another story for another day! ● #RaisingJesiah #BlackFamily #BlackYoungAndBroke #LoveMadeAnOops Lmbo #GodGotUs #ItTakesAVillage #StrengthenedByOurVillage #StillHustlingNoExcuses #OnePublicNYC #AfricanAmericanHaitianBaby #BlackBaby #RaisingABlackBoy #QueenAndKingRaisingAPrince #Vsco (at Brooklyn, New York)

As the year winded down… or for others screeched to a stop, it was almost inevitable that we reflect. And passionately at that. We celebrated our victories, we mourned our losses. We obsessed over what ifs, we made ourselves dedicate to sometimes empty promises a month into the new year and couldn't even recall what it was we were to do half way through the year. And that's fine really. But during 2016, it seemed to have been a collectively rough year for almost everyone whether I knew them or not. And even with great moments, it felt overshadowed by glum misfortunes that we could not shake. One thing that I've had to keep telling myself was that if I was not able to overcome my trials and errors, they never would have been MY trials and errors. They would never be stepped over if I did not have an inkling of faith.

“No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.” (1 Corinthians 10:13)

Now, my faith... could definitely be stronger. And that's my goal. Not for nobodies 2017. This is a life goal to be an honest God fearing human of this Earth. I can't want for my child what I won't be myself. So I know this new year will come with its own set of failures and frustrations but want to be able to envelope myself in appreciate for everything that will happen. Because in truth... every lesson is truly a blessing and without the failures of 2016, 2015, 2014 and so forth I wouldn't be who I am or where I am right now. And it's not to shabby of a place to be in.

<3, J

We got goals...

And to be quite frank, they’re some pretty ball busting goals. We probably both share a silent fear of actually achieving them and then sitting there like… now what? or What do I do with this? But that’s thinking too far ahead. We got to actually get on the path of succeeding first and foremost. And with a kid… we honestly have NO excuse for not achieving our dreams. The common misconception is that, okay now you have a baby your life is over. And yes in many ways it is. The life you once had is. However, it can either transformed into something so much bigger than ourselves o left at nothing. Using our child as an excuse as to why we couldn’t do something. And we speak from our own understanding of our own situation. Not everyone have the plain ability to do more and continue to do more for themselves. But we do. And it’s really scary to know that our goals are truly attainable.

We... are... parents. Anddddddddd there's really nothing much to it other than that being a huge ass deal. We are now someone's mommy and daddy. And it's been 3 months of this and apparently we're still trying to process it. ● There's now a tiny human being, who is seemingly so fragile (that can be viciously strong when hungry or just plain not amused) who depends on us. We're now this child's super human guardians. We're now someone's 'everything'. If that isn't a WTF moment than we don't know what is. ● The amount of things we've been learning this year about ourselves, about each other, the power of God and about what we'll do for our tiny little human has been an amazing journey in itself. We use the term amazing loosely (lol). ● We're not here to be sappy happy go lucky everything in the world is rainbows and unicorn shit. We want to keep it real. We want to share bits and pieces of our ongoing journey because someone may need it. They may not. Who knows. Whatever *shrugs* 😂😐 ● #RaisingJesiah #BlackFamily #BlackYoungAndBroke #LoveMadeAnOops Lmbo #GodGotUs #ItTakesAVillage #StrengthenedByOurVillage #StillHustlingNoExcuses #OnePublicNYC #AfricanAmericanHaitianBaby #BlackBaby #RaisingABlackBoy #QueenAndKingRaisingAPrince
