Is a huge blessing!
It's also a bigger blessing when you already have two kids, lol.
Not having to worry about my hair lets me focus more on my kids and other important things. Everyday I'm thankful that I can just get up and go and not have to stress about my hair. My hair has truly come a long way and going natural had a lot to do with it. My natural/locked hair fits me better than my permed hair, it just wasn't me. Too bad it took me a long time to realize that, however better late than never.
I so look forward to having this baby, it's been a long time coming. As I stated in an earlier post, I didn't think I was going to make it, that's how sick I was, but all bad things come to an end. Every now and then I still get nauseous and vomit but it is no where near as bad as it was those first 6 months.
I sometimes fear that when I have this child I will no longer have time for my other kids, I hope there is a way I can spend time with all of them without one of them feeling neglected. I think my boy fully understands what is going on and I don't think he will mind when the baby gets here. My daughter on the other hand is another story. I think she will have a problem when the baby gets here, I seen how she reacts when I'm with other babies and it's not pretty. Also ever since I got pregnant she is closer than ever to me, I call her my shadow, lol. I just want to know how all those mothers with multiple kids do it? Two is a handful already, I wonder how will I cope with three, work full time and also be a full time mother at home? I know it's doable, I just don't know how at this time.
Anyhow just felt like blogging. I notice that there are several locked Sistas out there in blog land that are also expecting. I just pray that all goes well with the rest of your pregnancy and that you and the baby are healthy after delivery.
Oh FYI I finally updated my FOTKI . After I changed my old name I never updated. So now its back up and running. Hopefully I can inspire or encourage Sistas out there contemplating going natural or getting locks.
I'll be back soon, Until Next Time Much Love

Glad to see that you and your family are doing well. I'm sure your daughter will come around soon enough... she might even like not being the baby any more.
Love the blog layout by the way :)
I think I mentioned before that I was also expecting my third and I've been having much the same thoughts as you - how will I cope? With my youngest only 13 months old (and very demanding) I too wonder whether I'll have time for them all!
How are you coping with college as well? You sound superhuman to me :)
all the best :)
@ SouthernGirl
Although I don't think she understands what being the baby is, I doubt she will want to give up all the attention she is used to getting.
@ Bajan Lily
I'm sure once the third one comes we will figure it out soon enough, my other fear is not having enough time for my DH and our relationship.
As far as school, I had to put it on hold, I wish I hadn't because I would have been finished by now. I am going back, don't know how I'll do it with 3 kids but I know it's doable because it has been done before.
Thanks for stopping by ladies.
aah - I also deferred my school (a Masters) - that was when my son was about 3 months old, I just couldn't concentrate... and now, when I'm meant to resume studies, I'm pregnant again - so there goes that idea! I'm too sick to do more at the moment so it'll have to be after number 3 arrives.
Don't get me started on the impact to the relationship with DH, it was mine who brought it up as a concern and we haven't figured it out yet. Good luck!
@ Bajan Lily
Well I hope we both figure it out soon, with school and our relationships. We are women and we are strong, so I know we will make it through!
Well, I had babies 3 and 4 in very quick succession, they are now almost 11 and 12. They ... well ... have issues!!! Both boys, the elder was in shock to see the new interloper, in fact he was very sad, and turned to his older sister (the eldest)for comfort, they are still very close. My eldest son (second child) just told me he found the youngest brother 'annoying', as a baby. I didnt notice a lot cos I had to 'get on with it' the best I could ( with ALL of GOD's abundant Grace!!!) There was so much going on then. I Guess that is what we have to do, one day at a time, sibling rivalry may be a part of life. But we do the best we can.:))
You are so cute pregnant!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey BB. It's N'Drea, but with a new name and blog.
Congrats on your pregnancy. Looking forward to see pics of the new lil one when the time comes. And your locks look great!
@ N'Joi
Thanks for stopping by, I guess thats all I can do is take it one day at a time, because I will never know what to expect.
@ Maryee

girl, you be poppin out them babies! lol! you look GREAT! and I have you on Fotki now. I answered your post via your yahoo email posted over here-and on my page. So check your email. I'm enrolled in Nursing School for April, so I would love to get wisdom from ya!
@ Cheleski
Lol, that seems to be a trend, hopefully this is the end. Thanks for answering my questions. I will give it a try and see what happens. As for tips in Nursing School, you have to have a heart and truly care. Which I;m sure you do, some people get into nursing for all the wrong reasons. Anyhow study study study! When your teachers tell you to read do it and don't put it off because there will be a lot of reading and it's hard to catch up on if you fall behind. Anyhow, I don't think it's ever too early to study for the nclex I think you should find a good NCLEX book or CD and do a few questions a week if you have the time even if you don't understand what they are asking, it's a good way to learn and understand the strategy behind the test. Just in case you don't come back I will post this on your blog as well.
Take Care
I did not know you were pregnant and now you are almost ready to deliver! LOL! You look great. I am glad that you are feeling better. It'll soon all be over and you will be looking at our beautiful baby! Many blessings. :-)
