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...
