Justin and I did not plan on having a cake but it turned out that his dear Aunty Janice flew all the way from San Diego with one of her beautiful and delicious cakes! I'm not usually a cake lover but this one was the best one I ever tasted next to a Red Ribbon Halo Halo cake! She froze the cake, frosted it in the Hotel room, and decorated the cake right before we had lunch. God bless her! I wish I still had some.
The other picture was posted just for Teresa...There goes Justin kissing Miles...and my belly.

Right now, Justin and I are waiting for Sex and the City to come on. The show that's on right now is Hello My Name is Earl--one of the funniest shows I've seen lately. I like staying home and resting! I never realized how much I was out gallibanting until I slowed my role. I remember Lea use to always comment about how I was on the go but never really thought too much of it. But now my body really feels it when I am out all day. Today, Miles was kicking non-stop as I ran errands from 1pm-5pm. As I got some paper work notarized, the man helping me commented, "I know I shouldn't be butting in but you should really consider laying off the beer..." I needed a laugh at that moment too. Anyways, he has a cute stationary store on Geary right next to the post office. I noticed he had baby clothes, books and other accessories but I left before I could open up my wallet.

The other exciting part of my day was going to the DMV to get a new license. Not only will this new one have a new picture (the one I've had has my 17-year old picture on it)--but it will also have my new name. I still need to practice my new signature. So many changes I tell ya...

For dinner, Justin and I went to L & L and had spam musubi. Moo-soobee. And yo, it was broke da mouth! I'm practicing my pigeon. I can't wait to go to Hawaii once our lil boy is here! :)

I miss Homie

movies w/ the homegirls

While I'm living in the P-side apartment, I can't have my baby, Homie, with me. It's such a sad thing because I miss him all the time and call home just to check and see what he's up to. He's lucky he has Snupe and my parents to look out for him. My mom tells me that she's his mother now! It only makes me wonder how it will be once Miles is born. Will she make him her son too?! Hahaha...it's kind of funny but when I see how my parents treat Homie--I can already see how they will baby Miles.

I'm 30 weeks into my pregnancy and I'm starting to get bloated. My ring is not loose anymore and I probably won't be able to wear it in a few weeks. At night, I have to wake up every 2 hours just to use the bathroom. Justin sleeps closest to the wall so that its easier for me to just roll out of bed. I literally, roll out of bed. I feel like a butterball! :) But a happy butterball--everything makes me laugh more than usual. Maybe I'm going crazy!

Mr. & Mrs. Cadabes

Married with children...

Bodyrockin' at 28 weeks 10/15/05

...well not quite just yet. From what it feels like--Miles is going to be on his way a little earlier before his due date in January.

My stomach has been growing rapidly by the week it seems--ever since the week of our wedding, September 21. Speaking of our wedding, everything feels the same as it did before we wore these rings. People ask us how is married life and those sorts of questions but honestly, its been the same relationship with the addition of a new last name and the workings of a shared bank account. Besides sharing and having a new last name (which I still need to legally change on paper), it still feels like we're homies in love. I have a lot of patience for him which I probably didn't have for other people. And he also is pretty patient with me when i get in those moods..these pregnancy moods...

Last night was a FULL moon. The sky was practically bright blue at midnight. Anyways, we both just finished watching a great anti-drug movie, Spun--and man--I felt so emotional afterwards. I didn't know what to process. This movie tripped me out like trainspotting but because it was about crystal-meth--it made me think of people close to me that were users. Anyways, what is it about full moons that makes people go nuts. I couldn't sleep until about 2:30 am or so.

Now I'm up. I realized that I haven't wrote in this journal in a long while. I'll post up pictures from our wedding and others that we've been taking since we purchased our digital camera. We're getting ready to document everyday with Miles :)

Good news came our way when we found out that Miles will be growing up with a cousin--just 4 months behind him! My brother and his fiance, Jen, are having a baby by May! :) This is going to be great! Having kids in the family is so fun--especially during holidays! These 3rd generation kids will also have each other to grow up with like how it was for us as kids. We all had a partner-in-crime--like Tintin was one of mines. Our kids will also have Lucy and Jenna Marie--as well as Andre who will be the leader of the pack. Sometimes, it trips me out when I see myself in the mirror or in the reflection of a window. It all seems like its happening so fast. But as Roy Ayers sang, "Life is just a moment"--and that is really what I'm feeling these days. I'm enjoying every minute I have left before everything changes even more! But I'm also looking forward to everything changing like crazy! Change is good...

This past weekend, I had two gigs. Friday night was at 26 Mix and it was with other DJs like Mista B, J-Flow + more. Everytime any kind of funk is playing, Miles goes off. I swear he's probably poppin' inside my belly! It feels different DJing while I'm pregnant. Maybe its because I'm farther from the tables or because everytime i rock back and forth I feel it in my back. But it also feels different because I'm aware that Miles is inside of me, moving with me sometimes--rocking back and forth. He's hearing what I'm playing and he's also probably feeling what I'm feeling--like when I play a certain song that gets me hype such as Rakim's I aint no joke. On Saturday night, I DJed at Bodyrock which was also fun. I'm usually one of the people on the dancefloor so it was a cool change to just play for that crowd. The night was also fun because it was a family affair--me & Miles on the tables and Justin on the Mic, controlling the crowd. I will definitely miss DJing when I take a break. But I need to take one for my sake and the baby's sake. I just think of it as pregnancy leave from DJing. Tomorrow is also my last class with the youth at Ocean View library. I'm gonna have a lot of fun with them since it will be my last for awhile. I'll probably try to hype them up into battling each other.

Ok, I better go because Justin finished cooking me breakfast! He's singing, "Eating alone is no fun! Eating alone is no fun!" Hahaha...
