HJ stands for his first and middle name: Hendrix Jorrell. . . . I already had his name planned before he was even in my belly. Hendrix actually stems from Henry. Its meaning is power, ruler. Such a strong sounding name. It's different but not too different for people to judge it. Jorrell is his tatays brothers name. They are super close and I found it sweet he wanted to name him after him❤ #shortyphonepics #blackandwhite #babynames #babybook #nursery #vsco #phonetography
Guys...I have a baby....like seriously this isn't a dream! lol . . . Today Hendrix is 1 week old and boy what a week it's been. You never realize how tired you can be till you have a newborn. Breastfeeding is harder then you think. The affects of labor take a toll and just makes things harder. Your nervous, your discouraged you wonder if I'm doing this right. You realize that sometimes baby just need to cry and sometimes you realize you just need to cry and all of that is ok. It gets better. I feel like I've grown so much this week already and so has he. I honestly dont know who he looks like cause he changes every day. He also smells soooo good. I love to just look at him. I love to rub his cheeks and play with his feet. I just love him! Being a mama takes some getting use to but I'm happy to be on this journey. #1weekold #mamathoughts #BlackMomMixedKid #boymom #phillymom #blackmom

Time Fly's When Your......Slacking -____-
34 weeks today. If baby boy was to come tomorrow (knock on wood) he would still be considered a premie but the chances of complications are low. Which brings me to my next point....NOTHING IS READY!!!!!
This is currently HJ's Room.....
When your balancing your home, work, social life and church you think you have all the time in the world to do something. It seems just yesterday that I was 12 weeks pregnant and I was just waiting to hit milestones and most planning was considered early. Now I sit here in crunch time with so much to do. Crazy part is I haven't even received gifts off my registry yet (by the way if you would like to send us some dope things from our registry click here or here :) I've been lucky enough to receive sooooo much hand me downs from fellow boy moms as well as moms with gender neutral taste. That's one thing that has been so encouraging is the connection I have built with some moms. But now with his crib and mattress on the way and dresser being brought today, its time to buckle down and get his room in order.
Yesterday I started going through his clothes he has so far and started separating them by the size. Today I begin the process of throwing them in the wash so they can be bagged and tagged awaiting to be put away. Then I have find places for things that will not be in his room (Stroller, car seat, bassinet and pack and play) put them in ready to go position somewhere that will not send me into a nesting madness or get in my way of everyday life. I have 3 pictures to hang, 2 that still need frames, New cushions to order for his chair, a rug, figure out what I'm gonna do as far as curtains, things that needed just for organizing random stuff as well as just clean. SO. MUCH. TO. DO. Luckily I don't necessarily feel overwhelmed if anything I'm low key really excited to knock out his room. Plus I have plenty of friends who have volunteered to help so I'm hoping my May 1st his room will be a lot better then it is now.
In other news, Braxton Hicks contractions have become a everyday occurrence. They are not too bad, they don't last long and its not a all day thing but it's real. Insominia and just being comfortable enough to sleep has been GHOST, Sciatica which I thought was only for old people has my right butt cheek in pain off and on and it sucks, leg cramps, baby boy kicks felt in hip bones as well as constant indigestion has made these last days really interesting. But even through all that I'm good. I can't wait to have my body be just mine again though....

Check out “Shades of Melanin” our new webseries where Men With Locs, share their thoughts and perspective on different topics UNSCRIPTED & UNFILTERED. This episode Versatile Excell Chris, Sasha, and Mr. Pearly, discuss the difference between a woman having a mans heart vs having a mans back.
Make sure you tune in every Sunday at 8pm for a new episode!
“In my conscious frame of thought there are two types of love, falling in love and choosing to love. Falling in love is euphoric in nature: a sort of medicinal high that you don’t want to come down from. Choosing to love however is different. When you make a choice to love someone you have chosen to take action, for love is a verb. There should be no separation between someone having your back verses someone having your heart, they both should go hand in hand. To witness one attribute in a woman without the other is a mere fork in the road in which you have the choice to go left or right. At the end of the day it all revolves around the conscious choice. Love is the Ying and honesty the Yang, that’s the balance.” -Sasha Forde
