Pregnancy Troubles and Update

-
  First I would like to say thank you to all of the people that have still been giving me some traffic on this blog although I haven't been very consistent this last month.  Honestly, this pregnancy has not been the best for me. Even this morning I am already worn out and my body feels like it can't handle much. I just feel really lightheaded and extremely tired and I'm not sure exactly why I'm feeling this way. The doctor has told me that it's due to my low blood pressure and although he's a doctor I don't really believe that to be true because my blood pressure has always been low. I've also never had to deal with this before during any pregnancy so I'm not really sure how to handle it especially now with still having to take care of two small children. To be honest, I'm not really sure how some women do this so many times but I know that this one is it for me.  No more after this! The papers to get my tubes tied have already been signed and ev

Fearful

Beautiful Baby #1
So as I briefly mentioned in my introduction post I am pregnant with my third and I am terrified to go into labor again. When I was in labor the first time it lasted 36 hours which didn't actually frighten me because I didn't know what to expect at the time. I partially feel terrible for saying this, but I don't remember how long I was in labor the second time. I just know that it didn't last as long, it was definitely shorter than 24 hours. What makes me scared now is that I won't be able to have my mother there coaching me through it like she did for me with my other children. My mother was my rock during labor. She stayed with me the entire time. Even when I couldn't sleep she stayed awake with me all night. I appreciate her so much for being there with me.
Beautiful Baby #2
 It was exactly the support I needed that I believe could have only come from a mother herself. Just thinking about that kind of support and not being able to have it due to Covid-19 scares the crap out of me, especially since I have tended to do everything natural.

Neither of my pregnancies or labors had any complications thank goodness, but have you ever had a fear that complications could happen? Well I do all the time. It feels like a looming cloud over me that hopefully goes away soon. Honestly, either way if I'm scared or not my body is going to do what it needs to do when the baby is on the way. I also don't want you to think that I'm saying my children's fathers weren't helpful. Well my son's father wasn't but my daughter's father, which is my current boyfriend was extremely helpful. Hopefully he's even more helpful this time around. My main point is that there's nothing like a mother's love or support. Especially since she's been through this sort of thing before. I know that I'm not the only mother/parent that has had fears. What are some of your fears that you've had about pregnancy or just about life as a parent? Also please feel free to share some of your labor stories mine will be coming soon.

    It's normal to be a little nervous before giving birth, no matter how many times you've done it already. A mother's support is like nothing else, and although she can't be in the room with you, she'll be supporting you still. You have to trust your body, and let fear subside. You'll do great :)

An Old but New New Year

-
 Unfortunately, this New Year's Eve was a lot different than normal because of Covid-19. I usually spend New Year's Eve with my boyfriend's family which is what we did again this year. Of course not as many people came over so it was a smaller crowd but we still did all of the things that we would normally do. Honestly, all that means for the most part is spending time with each other and having fun. We do have two main traditions. The first of course being counting down into the New Year. The second is after the countdown and clinking glasses we make a circle, go around to each person and say what we are thankful for from the last year going into the new. I'm not sure about everyone else but I personally love doing this because and the things that I have accomplished or things that I want to do better. The plan is to carry on this tradition throughout the years so that we continually are appreciative of everything that we have. So, even though 2020 wasn't the great

Getting to Know Me

 Hello everyone! My name is De'Jonae but you can call me Daisy. I am a 26 year old mother with two children ages 1 and 3 with one more on the way. Honestly, I have always wanted to start a blog so that I can share my experiences as a mother with other mothers as a form of encouragement. Parenting is one of the hardest jobs and it's great for parents to know that they are doing an amazing job and are just doing the best that they can.  Aside from parenting, other topics that I now want to write about is makeup/beauty, hair, food, and anything else that I am learning about, experiencing, or having a new journey with. I believe that in life we should have fun and should always be trying new things. Hopefully this helps someone or possibly everyone that has interest in my journey through life. Please feel free to leave plenty of comments.
