NEW LIFE IN MINE

If the choice had been mine, I would've spent my entire pregnancy in sweatpants and Led Zepplin t-shirts--both of which I have a hearty collection.  Point is, I would've spent no money on maternity clothes if I didn't have to.  Sadly, this could not be my reality.  My job as a public school teacher required me to wear professional attire which meant that, much as I didn't want to, I had to somehow acquire a fair amount of maternity clothes. And, in spite of what you may have heard about public school teachers' salaries on the news lately, I didn't have much money to spend.  But I've always been a resourceful gal, so I managed to find a few tricks to maximize my maternity wardrobe without breaking my bank.  I hope you find them just as useful as I did!

So i first want to say thank you ahmarr, ahli, & shanae for the opportunity & the trust you have in me.

my introduction to parenthood was not planned nor celebrated. it was actually very dissapointing and almost didn't happen.

i was a track runner, debate club participant, the cool chick at school,the good girl,preparing to go into the navy's officer program, and a virgin who had only had sex once. people thought i was gay because i wasn't "giving it up", so i thought i was "safe" u can't get pregnant on your first time,right?

(This is one of the most popular posts from my own blog, so I've decided to repost here for you all.  A little about me: I'm a 27-year-old first time mom and I just had my baby on January 4th of this year.  Thank goodness he is a sweet, easy baby--because, as you will read below, he put me through the ringer during my pregnancy.  Hope you enjoy.

If you have a weak stomach and you're still with me in spite of the post title, now is a good time stop reading.  It's going to get gross.  I promise.
