While the 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington was happening at Lincoln Memorial, the Harris Family decided to take a trip down to the MLK National Historic Site! What a lovely trip this was! It is SO IMPORTANT to us that we share with our children our African American history. Though it is sparingly taught in schools, to get the opportunity to walk through the neighborhood, house and church of a Hero is a Great experience! For those who have never had the opportunity to visit this historic site, check out my pics!
One of my girlfriends, whom is currently expecting her first child, asked me if I had any labor and delivery suggestions and/or information I could share with her. I really wanted to tell her the truth! (1) It's EXCRUCIATINGLY painful (2) I felt like I was going to die and that I was physically incapable of pushing my daughter out (3) I felt like a little troll or the devil was standing behind me and every two minutes decided to stick a butcher knife in my lower back and jiggle it around, while smiling! BUT, I didn't tell her that. I told her as long as her husband was by her side, holding her hand and coaching her throughout the process, that's the best pain reliever there is. That's partly true!lol Mind you, I had a vaginal birth, no epideral and pushed out an eight pounder so my description may seem a little extreme for someone who had a C-Sec or intense meds.
With that being said, once you get to hold your little peanut you realize it is well worth the 300 battle you just went through. When your husband is so proud of you and his heart is filled with nothing but admiration and joy because his wife just endured all that pain and suffering to bring his prince or princess into the world, that is PRICELESS!
So of course, when we first bought her home, I was exhausted! We fell asleep on Daddy and he caught the moment in black and white! LOVED IT and I'm framing it!

Sooooo... I basically went from a BASKETBALL:
to a PUMPKIN!
At 155lbs OMG!!! Yes, it is getting harder to move and my hubby has to help me with bras, shoes, etc. But what is more scary is that I still have 70days to go! Meanwhile, EVERY single person that comments on my pregnancy tells me, "she's not waiting until September". Now how do you respond to that?! I have begun the process of getting my hospital bag ready and clearly, my main dilemma is WHAT SHOULD I WEAR for delivery??? (Im so serious.) I need something that is comfy, soft on my skin, suitable for twit pics, easy access for whipping out the girls for feedings and NOTHING "grandma"!
Any Suggestions...?
I'm Extremely guilty of being one of those people on facebook that turns their nose up at friends who posts pics of their kids 24-7! But this time, I just couldn't help myself!!! I don't do it very often but the ensemble gifted by her Auntie Shayla was just Too Cute! I'm sure Haley was loving it as well because she was giving me nothing but dimples and teeth!
