A Perspective On Vaccination

If you read the title and are strongly pro or anti vaccination, your head and emotions are probably automatically hot and ready like a $5 pizza with rhetoric waiting to … Continue reading A Perspective On Vaccination

Just a few pregnancy sorta funnies tipsy with some cynicism. As I near the tentative July 21st due date (even after all this time, it's still weird as faqk to say that I'm due for birthing a being in human form), I'm reflecting on these past 9 months. I still can't believe it's been so long 😲!!! • Insert lots of creatively articulate mushy stuff about it. Stir in some more mush. Look back at the mushiful masterpiece in pride. I'm getting off the internet for now, though if you see me the baby rejected the predetermined eviction notice 😒. Only my future child would stay in there longer just to be funny because that's shxt I'd do 😂. • #blackgoddess #divinity #queen #goddess #pregnant #pregnancy #newmom #mom #moms #motherhood #blackwomen #jamaican #blackgirlmagic #julybaby #pregnantbelly #pregnantbody #beach #darkskinwomen #beachday @thebump #thebump #pregnancythoughts #cynical

Does this picture make me look tall? Cause I feel like a giantress Amazonian black goddess queen divine in all her pregnant glory 👑 • I don't usually feel like I'm glowing, more like blowing up in my tummy, which is great cause the baby needs it. But sometimes it's nice to see my body and go, yeaaaah, I'm still there 🤩. I hate the rhetoric that moms don't matter once the baby comes. Without the moms mattering, how will the baby get its basic needs? 🤷🏾‍♀️ • Happy mother's day every day to all the moms out there for donating their bodies to creation. I could have never fathomed 3D printing a being could entail so much. 9 months is a long time to have your body snatched y'all 👏🏾 • I can't wait to write and share another blog post about some other things I learned about pregnancy, some of the more unconventional normalcies. There's so much mystery and hush hush about pregnancy and birth when it's so common! Know what? I'll go do it right now! 🤪 • #blackgoddess #divinity #queen #goddess #pregnant #pregnancy #newmom #mom #moms #motherhood #blackwomen #jamaican #blackgirlmagic #julybaby #pregnantbelly #pregnantbody #beach #hawaii #hilo #darkskinwomen #hilohawaii #water #beach #beachday #clouds #cloudy #sky #life #lavarock @thebump #thebump

With one month to go (or whenever baby wanna show up 🤷🏾‍♀️), just wanna say thanks all for getting me baby registry things and sending good vibes if you didn't have the $. I didn't have a baby shower and it doesn't bother me, but opening up all these boxes was a humbling kind of baby shower 😭😍. (I never actually put up my registry info here, but if you're interested, ask.) • As I mentioned in my recent blog post, I didn't know how much of a deal baby registries are 🤫. I wasn't going to make a public one, just a little minimalist list with no more than 20 things. I resisted putting together a comprehensive one because it felt too consumeristic 💰. • Growing up in Jamaica, I didn't see anyone with strollers, baby carriers, and breast pumps. Cribs were rare and babies mostly wore basic cloth diapers. I was aiming for a similar experience because I knew it could be done. My sister was patient and encouraging that I should be thorough. I was pretty much convinced I wouldn't end up getting half of it because we're living in crazy, money tight times. I didn't want to pressure anyone 😬. I learned a looot about pride and accepting help from this tbh 🤲🏾. • I'm grateful for it all though! 😌 I'm looking forward to experiencing how some of these things make the experience easier. I want to pass on knowledge about it, too. Once more, thanks for any gifts, money, and/or good energy sent 🎁💵🤗. • #thanks #appreciation #babyregistry #registry #baby #babyshower #minimalist #minimalistic #minimalism #consumerism #money #experience #pregnant #pregnancy #newmom #darkskin #blackwomen #jamaican #blackgirlmagic #julybaby #help #family #friends #framily
