Merry Christmas!
Today was our first Christmas as parents. Barry got me a ring with the initial of his last name “R” and I got him a bottle of Nautica cologne. Mama cooked (the horror!) and it actually turned out great LOL I am 8 months along in my pregnancy and SO looking forward to Briyana being born. She’s SO dang active already. I know it’s going to take some serious energy to keep up with her. I’ll be 17 in a few days. It feels so odd knowing I’m about to be a mother and I’m not even of “legal” age yet.
I never really pictured my life going like this, but I’m getting used to the idea. I guess I better be, huh? I don’t have but a few weeks until this idea of how things will be turns into a reality … which will probably be much different than my idea, but that’s cool too. I’ll roll with it. Whatever comes, I will be the best mom I am can for her. Anyway, MERRY CHRISTMAS! It’s late. I’m still REALLY full. This was our second Christmas together – I’m looking forward to a whole lot more!
Kylan Christopher was born…
Kylan Christopher Robertson was born on the 12th at 3:21am… He was 8 pounds 13 ounces (from what I hear). I am, of course, not allowed to see him. Big surprise. Anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY KYLAN!
My Daughter; My Mother… My Life.
I’m nearly 6 months pregnant with our daughter… it’s official – her name is going to be Briyana Amaya Robertson. I’m kinda scared sometimes because it’s like WOW… there is about to be this little creature feeding from me and depending on me and crying for me. It’s so funny how I always said I would NEVER be like my mom, but now that I’m about to BE a mom, there’s no one I can say I want to be more like than her.
My mom has been through a lot as a single mom but she was always there for me and I want to be the same way with my child. I don’t know what the future holds. It would be great if Barry and I would get married and live happily ever after, but that’s not always how it goes and given the circumstances and all the craziness we’ve been through over the last year or so, I’d have to say I honestly don’t know where we end up down the road, but I know that no matter what happens, I will be there for my daughter just like my mom is there for me.
Kara is supposed to be having Kylan around the 6th I think. I’d have to say this is just about the wackiest shitstorm situation I’ve ever witnessed, let alone been involved in. That’s all I’m gonna say about that. Well… I’m in class and the bell is gonna ring soon so that’s it for now. Just a little over 3 more months and BOOM … LOL We’ll see where we go from there.
It’s a … {ultrasound}
We had the ultrasound done today and GUESS WHAT!!! It’s a ….. GIRL! :) We haven’t decided on a name, but Barry wants something that starts with a “B” of course. I’m thinking between him and my sister, naming this kid is going to definitely be a long process.
I wanted a boy, but of course Barry always gets what he wants LOL So, a girl it is. I’m excited now. I’m seeing a lot of PINK in our future!
Ultrasound pictures…



Welcome KJ!!
Me, Veronica, and Dee just went to visit Quintena in the hospital :) She had KJ!!! I couldn’t stop looking at him… so tiny, so sweet! I cannot WAIT to hold my baby. I didn’t even want to leave! So much has changed over the last few months as I’ve gotten to “know” my baby. I can’t wait to find out what we’re having. Barry wants a girl since, you know, he’s already having a boy. Whatever. I want a boy.
My family has SOOOO many girls. I think my cousin, Kyle, is like the only boy period. My grandmother had 3 girls, 1 boy… my mom had 2 girls… my sis has a girl. Girls, girls, girls. I need a boy LOL My family is counting on me :) No, but seriously, I just always wanted my oldest child to be a boy so he can be the ‘big brother’ … but regardless, as long as our child is healthy, I will be ecstatic no matter if it’s a boy or a girl.
But I really want a boy. LOL
Baby on board!
Today, Barry and I found out we are expecting a child. We have had a feeling that I might be for a couple of weeks now… but today we got confirmation from the doctor. It’s a little scary because we are 16 and 17 years old, but Barry seems confident that we can do it… he already wants a little girl!
Time to dream about fish??
A couple of weeks ago, I was at school and I had a horrible ‘episode’ which ended with them calling my mother and her rushing me to the hospital going 110MPH down the interstate. I started my *cycle* (or so I thought) during 4th period but was in so much pain in my lower abdomen I could barely walk… I actually fell to my knees in the middle of the hall on my way to the office and just started crying! I almost passed out, literally. I was admitted to the hospital and kept overnight… Barry and I are starting to worry that I am pregnant. Well *I* am starting to worry- he seems kind of happy about it.
They didn’t do a pregnancy test when I was in the hospital because I told them there was no way I could be pregnant (a lie) but my ‘time-of-the-month’ only lasted 2 days and since I left the hospital, I have been thinking I either miscarried and that was what that whole episode was, or I had a very bad experience with implantation, which I read can cause bleeding (yes, I’ve been doing MUCH research)… in which case, I am still pregnant. I don’t know. We are going to wait a couple of weeks and see if anything else happens and then I guess we will have to go to the clinic and get a test done. I am wishing I would have just gotten them to test for pregnancy while I was in the hospital because now if I did miscarry, I won’t ever know…
