Shopping Yet:Some online browsing, but nothing too special.

I'm Craving Fresh fruit for my new juicer. 

Sleep:Abdul got me a full body pillow for Christmas and that thing is HEAVEN SENT!

What I Miss: I really miss Eggnog. I never was a fan of it until Abdul and I started dating. It's become our little holiday tradition so I missed out this year :(

Belly Button: In

Weight Gain: Everyone keeps telling me I am loosing weight. I will know for sure next week. 

This Weeks Mood: Happy and calm

Looking Forward To: New Years with Abdul (Man this is a lovey dovey blog lol) and baby shower planning!

Weekly Wisdom For New Mommy's To Be: For all you pet parents, don't forget about your first child! Sophie loves laying on my belly bonding with baby.

Merry Christmas from the Walkers

How's Daddy:Daddy is doing great. He sings to his "nugget" all the time.I will definitely say this week has been a great week of growth, love, and appreciation. Check out the pictures below of Abdul enjoying some of his Christmas gifts.

Movement: I have been having fluttering sensations all week and I love it! Abdul will lay on my stomach and just talk and sing for about an hour and to feel baby flutter back is so exciting. 

Symptoms: My appetite has become so weird. I have no cravings, but I also have to make myself eat. I only want healthy foods, which is weird because I normally want a juicy burger.

Okay this is the week! When I get off work I will be hitting the treadmill or park! I will update you guys next week on that!

TEAM BLUE VS TEAM PINK

The date is set! On January 28th we will know the gender of baby walker! As of right now Team Pink is in the lead with 18 votes, however Team Blue is right behind you with 16 votes. I wonder if Abdul is interested in making the bet a little more exciting. I'm thinking about a hilarious dare for the loser. Taps chin.........

Weekly Wisdom For New Mommy's To Be: STAY AWAY FROM GOOGLE! Don't do it, you're only scaring yourself.

How's Daddy: Abdul is so excited because his first quarter of grad school is officially o v e r over! Last night we were just reflecting on how much we've been blessed this past year it's amazing. Our relationship is so much stronger, we are both healthier, and all around thankful to be spending another Christmas together! 

Movement: As I am typing this blog I just got super excited! IDK if it's gas or if the baby just moved. I'm laying on my side and I'm feeling flutters like crazy. My doctor told me I would probably start to experience movement soon! I slick cried :):):):)

Symptoms: I have started to feel small back pains. It scared me at first but it died down eventually.

Not gonna lie, I slacked this week. That walking I was talking about didn't happen as much, however it did happen one day! Abdul and I went to Piedmont Park and walked for about two hours. But next week (let's be realistic, no walking is going to happen during the holidays) I am hitting the treadmill!

TEAM BLUE VS TEAM PINK

Time is winding down to find out the sex of baby walker. With all these baby myths going around, Abdul and I have made this a little competition to see who's prediction is correct. Abdul is representing Team Pink aka Daddy's Girl, and I am representing Team Blue aka Momma's Boy! Please take time to cast your votes in the comment box below, Facebook, or Instagram! I will say as of right now, Team Pink is in the lead, BUT Team Blue we will back a comeback! 

I will update everyone weekly on tallies until the gender reveal!

HAVE A GREAT WEEK EVERYONE! UNTIL NEXT SUNDAY :)

Looking Forward To: JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE IN CONCERT TUESDAY, DECEMBER 17, 2013!!! CAN'T WAIT!!!!

MY LONG TIME CRUSH IS COMING TO ATL!

Weekly Wisdom For New Mommy's To Be: Please do not stress! I know it's a lot easier said than done, trust me, but it is not good for yourself nor the baby. The craziness of life can be overwhelming sometime, but right now your main focus and priority is your health and your baby. (i'm literally preaching to myself)

How's Daddy: Abdul is so excited for his little nugget. Watching him have his bonding time is so adorable. We had a really good date night the other night. We went to see The Hobbit and it was SO GOOD! I even got to open an early Christmas gift. I don't think he's as excited for the JT concert as me, but I promised him I would behave lol.

He knows I love the Hobbit!

Movement: I haven't been able to feel any movement, but I did see baby doing a lot of moving during my ultrasound. 

Symptoms: Round ligament pain

This week my fitness focus will be walking. Before I found out I was pregnant I was heavy on walking and running throughout the week. Needless to say the past almost four months now have been full of laziness, so it's time to get back on it. I've heard so many stories of women who have had easy deliveries from walking. so I'm hoping some of that luck will rub off on me.

I will be picking back up a new Yoga pose next week, along with the progress of the Tree Pose.

Okay I promise gender voting will began next week, no exceptions!!

HAVE A GREAT WEEK EVERYONE! UNTIL NEXT SUNDAY :)

13 Weeks!!

Hello 2nd Trimester! Whoop Whoop

Baby Walker is the size of a tangerine.

Best Moment This Week:  The best moment this week would have to be spending time with some of my best girlfriends for Elysse's 25th, my aunt cooking dinner for Abdul and I, and some quality time with Abdul while putting up our tree. 

Abdul and our first child Sophie

I love Christmas!

Shopping Yet: I definitely see maternity shopping in my near future. Right now I am just wearing leggings, jeggings, and comfy sweaters. I would love to get a pair of maternity jeans.

I'm Craving......WENDYS CHICKEN NUGGETS! I am eating some now lol.

Sleep:My sleep was a little better this week. Abdul and I worked out a new sleeping technique, he sleeps at the bottom, me at top.

What I Miss: I am still missing spicy foods, but TUMS are my new best friend.

Belly Button: In, but I did buy some rubber belly button rings from amazon. Here's the link  http://www.amazon.com/Flexible-belly-button-pregnant-bellies/dp/B004V01KD6/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1386558472&sr=8-16&keywords=pregnancy+belly+button+rings

This Weeks Mood: This week I have been really rude. I really need to pray on this thing, been wanting to cuss people out. Don't like that too much.

Looking Forward To: My doctors appointment on Tuesday!

Weekly Wisdom For New Mommy's To Be: Make sure you eat healthy! Being pregnant is not an excuse to eat more. You're not eating for two, how much do you think your baby can eat?? Eating healthy snacks help me throughout the day. It's very painful for me when I get to the starving point.

How's Daddy: Abdul has been so exhausted this week. He is now getting his masters online at Full Sail University. Between school, work, and me (lol) a nice get away would be great right now. You never know what I have up my sleeves. Check out the fort I built for us one night when he got home from work!

Mastering the art of Yoga has always been on my to-do list. What's the point of waiting until the New Year to make this a "resolution" that I never accomplish. Why not start now! 

Every night this week I will be practicing the Tree Pose. The tree pose is a balance pose, and if you know me personally, balancing is something I am not good at, except for when I'm dancing. Having a steady balance during your pregnancy will help adjust to the shift in gravity from your growing belly.

DON'T FORGET, CAST VOTES FOR TEAM PINK OR BLUE STARTING NEXT WEEK!!

HAVE A GREAT WEEK EVERYONE! UNTIL NEXT SUNDAY :)

-Najee, Walker, Baby

12 Weeks!!

Now that my big secret is out I am so excited to be 12 weeks! Let my long journey begin lol.

Baby Walker is the size of a Lime! 

Best Moment This Week:  The best moment this week would of course have to be the big announcement.

Shopping Yet: When I wasn't pregnant my weight was constantly up and down, and I had lost 10 pounds (which I am slowly gaining back). I have gone shopping but not for maternity clothes yet.

I'm Craving......NOTHING! My poor little appetite is gone. Maybe it'll come back soon but the smell and taste of anything makes me nauseous.

Sleep: I have not had a good night sleep yet. I'm hot then cold, can't get comfy, HATE pillows, but around 3:00am I'm completely knocked out.

What I Miss: SPICY FOOD! Ugh the only thing I do have the cravings for, I can not bare due to heartburn :(

Belly Button: In, but I have discovered a dimple under my belly button.

This Weeks Mood: Nervous and emotional.

Looking Forward To: My pregnancy workouts I will be starting this week!

Weekly Wisdom: When all else fails, natural peanut butter is my best friend.

How's Daddy: Abdul has been amazing thus far. He rubs my belly until I fall asleep, constantly gives baby kisses, and has slept on the sofa a few nights just so I can get comfy in bed. (He's the best)! Our Thanksgiving was cut short, he had to work Black Friday, but we have the next two days alone!! (Well when I get off work lol)


Everyone has been so happy and supportive of our new journey and I am so thankful!Knowing that we have such positive energy from our friends and family has made this a lot easier for me. As the weeks go by I will be adding new sections to my blog such as: MILF (Mom In Love with Fitness) and Daddy's Corner. I will also be hosting a competition starting next week, Team Pink vs.Team Blue, where everyone can cast votes on Baby Walker's gender. Until next Sunday, have a blessed week :)

We're Having A Baby!!!

Hello Everyone!!

My name is Saadai and this is my “baby blog/journal/process.” My wonderful boyfriend, Abdul, and I are expecting our first child and we are so excited. Let me give you a little history on us two…

Abdul and I have known each other since we were in the fifth grade. Our relationship is one of those “out of all the people, I fell in love with you” stories lol. After elementary school we kind of lost contact with one another until about three years ago, and here we are now.

We are so very excited to become new parents and very anxious to see how creative our child will be. Abdul is a graphic designer and artistic genius, and I am a lyrical dancer who has fiery passion for the performing arts.

Our relationship is full of laughter, goofiness, and happiness. We love to take random trips every now and then, lay in bed and watch cartoons, and even build forts in our living room (our kids are going to LOVE us lol). But overall we have unconditional love and support for one another.

Even though we are some creative junkies lol, I am a property manager in the Atlanta area and Abdul is a sales guru with Magnolia. The creative/business drive we have towards our careers helps us strive to stay ahead when it comes to our family expanding. 

Throughout the next seven months we will be letting you guys into our life as we prepare for parenthood! Hope you enjoy and have a blessed one :)

Here is a video with some of Abdul and I's family responding to the news!
