I should really be ashamed for not having blogged this long. I guess with all the baby prep and trying to induce labour, I lost track of the days and now here I am… in 2012 with my first post of the year..

Alright so first things first. Aiko. This baby of mine has officially put African and every other time known to man and aliens to shame! Like for real. I really didn't believe that I'd make it to 10 months, let alone 9 with the way I'm built but I'm grateful. Makes my story even more interesting… (hmmmmmmm, I should write this in my baby book).

For the past 3 weeks I've tried everything medically proven to induce labour and none of them have worked. Maybe they gave me a contraction or 2 but those became major let downs when they stopped. The furthest I got to birth was maybe having my plug come out( it sounds grosser than it actually is). I'm getting tired of looking at an empty crib now soooooooo… come Wednesday, I'm going to ask them to induce me! That's right. I don't care to wait anymore! I want my baby and I want her now! Lol… ok a bit dramatic but you all know you are just as impatient as I am(come on, you know you are).

I think it's safe to say that Aiko is now the most anticipated baby for this year…

Alright second update. I feel like certain members of my family have now labelled me the greatest failure in the world. Yep, I'm being serious! In one way or another they've said it to my face and you know what?! I've stopped caring. Obviously since I have no future left in their eyes then what's the point?! Like really, I live my life for me and not anyone else. The judgement that flies my way could power a small village for years and they think I don't notice some of the looks they give me. Everyone that has found out about this pregnancy has in one way or another accepted it and offered me tons of support. Certain members of my fam however?! Yes I understand the shock but to hold it over my head every time? Nah get over it already!

Don't like being irritated by family but when they wanna get nasty?! I gotta stand up for myself. Anyhu I think that's all I wanted to share for now. I'm sure more things will come up when I remember them.
