As i felt him kickin i was thinkin...oh yea im gonna have mason naturally n blah blah blah...please cuz soon as i got to the hospital natural went out the window But i tip my hat off to you though...my little A cup boobie bear

Taj is too cute...i was waitin for him to get up n break dance n end it wit a b-boy stance!

Oh my! I thought you where preggers too! lol!

Your son is too adorable!! I need to borrow some of his moves!

LOL Nubie...MIND OVER MATTER! Taj was good to me so it wasn't that bad. A friend asked me if I would do it again and I said, "Yes" without hesitation. She said, "You're not worried that you just got lucky the first time?" I'm not worried at all. To each his own of course...I don't down anyone that chooses different birth routes. LMBO @ A cup boobie bear. Awwww..you love me! lol

Taj is a trip...he'll just start bobbing his head if he hears a second of music.

@WTRH...No baby news right now. lol Thanks dear...he teaches classes on the 1st and 3rd Fridays of every month. I'll have to ask him what the fee is.

I have been MIA. So much family stuff and life!!

He was serious!!! I love it! ANd I love your voice!!

LOL! Lil Man was getting his groove on!!! So cute!!!

I had my last baby natural also! Wasn't planning on doing so but she came before the epidural kicked in! I was so mad that I sat there hunched, getting a needle in my spine, during contractions for no reason! If I were to have more babies, which I'm not, I will do natural birth!!!

Hey ALatina

I've missed a bit, but I'm so glad I got to see lil man's dancing video. That was too cute, and when he clapped his hands I was like "he's into it now." LOL

Natural child birth...that's awesome!! My first time I had a c-section; the second time I planned the c-section. I was like why put myself through all that pain!!! LOL

He's a dance machine and can't even walk without holding on to things yet. Thanks Sweet. I actually made a video to upload to the makeup thread but I haven't edited it yet. I used to have a hard time believing that I sound like I actually do when I heard my recorded voice.

Thanks Coco. LOL I like how you said you would go natural if you had more babies but aren't planning to. Never say never!! My aunts friend and my cousin both had babies after having their tubes tied. I would've been like

Hey KNH. He definitely got into it once he clapped those hands. The pain of natural birth wasn't so bad. Breathing through the contractions and focusing on meeting my baby got me through it.

So I was MIA this past week because we were in Atlanta trying to get things in order for the move. My hunny has a job offer and an interview next week so things are looking good. We were grinding the whole time we were there. I'm looking forward to the move but not packing.

Hair news:

I think I need to stop twisting my hair up for a bit and just wear it out. I think I've made my edges regress a bit rather than progress. I believe I was a bit premature in manipulating my edges as much as I have been. My hunny says they still look like they are getting better but I see a little thinning that had been thickening up before. I won't be locing my hair if my edges aren't full so I may have to postpone but we'll see how its looking in December.

Thank you to Nubie for sending me some Karen's Body Beautiful Creamy Coco Mango Hair Milk. It was waiting for me today when we got home. Love ya doll!


I know I've missed so much and we'll be packing up this week so I'll catch up when I can...periodically during the week.


Last but not least, a few of our family pictures and Tajs 1st Bday pictures:

I bought some Yes To Tomatoes while we were in Atlanta last week and this is good stuff. I've already used it on my hair twice and once on the little one and I definitely like it. For $2.99 I wouldn't have been mad if I didn't. Well, its time to start packing and I can't even decide on which room I want to do first. This is the down side to having a bigger house...you accumulate more stuff and then have to figure out what to do with it. I'm going to browse around a bit more and then get started on this packing. Blessings to you all!

Beautiful family pics! Are ya'll going to loc your sons hair too? That would be so cute. Lol.

Oh, and I use Yes to Cucumbers, but bought Yes to Tomatoes. How do they compare?

awww look at those pics!! adorable and i love his shoes.

Hey JnB. Thanks sis. We are going to loc his hair once it fills back in in the back. He had the infamous baby bald spot so we're just waiting. I've never used the YTC so I can't compare unfortunately but the YTT has great slip, smells great, detangles like a dream, and left both of our hair soft after rinsing.

Thanks Nubie. I used to get that good ol' employee discount at The Childrens Place so I got his shoes for next to nothing. I got the earrings at the NC hair expo back in May. There were so many to choose from but I had to go with the ankh. I have one tattooed on the inside of my right ankle. I'm all about cultural expression.

Beautiful family portrait!! Okay Taj is loving the camera. 1st the video and now this picture. The camera loves him. The last picture is just too cute!!!

SN: Your hair is too cute in that picture.

OMGoodness..your family is beautiful!!! I remembered when I moved from NYC to ATL!!! Exciting!!!!

taj is tooooo cute.

Hey AL!!

Lovely family pics, your son is such a cutie pie!! I'm gonna have to go check out the vid of him dancing.

Lovely pics of the family and I agree that Taj is adorable!

Hoping the packing and move is/was going smoothly!

Take care sis!

Yes I was wondering where you were. Miss you!

aww, I love the family pics sis

Hey sis!! How is everything?

Hey sista girls! It has been nearly a month since I have been out in the neighborhood and I feel like a stranger lol. So much has happened since I left. We are officially Georgia residents and my pumpkin is walking!! Craziness! lol He is such a big boy. When I say this transition was a TRAIN WRECK...that is putting it mildly BUT I won't dwell on the negative. We are another step closer to our goals and I couldn't be happier. During this transition I totally neglected my hair and will finally be getting back on track tomorrow. I won't even try to play catch up with everyone but I'll browse the neighborhood and see whats going on.

Welcome back!!!
