Sarai, her Auntie Shimah and I! Happy Bday Auntie Shimah!!
Baby Walker is the size of a cauliflower.

Best Moment This Week: These past two weeks have been full of family, love, friends, and fun! We celebrated my Mister (mommy and sister) bday. This was the first time we had the family over to our new home and we thoroughly enjoyed them :) 

Family!!! 

Me Shimah and Granny! Where would we be without her!

I love my babies!! I've been at all of there births, they grow up so fast :) *Little cousins and niece*

Also I celebrated two other bdays this past week, Sarai's Godmother and my bestfriend, Meagan, and one of my closet friends Erica! I love you ladies!! Two of the best people were born on the same day :)

Happy Bday Foob!  Love your BFF Jill

Happy Bday Erica!!!! I love ya my Gangsta Boo :*

I'm Craving: The same as always..Fruit. I literally had no other cravings.

My Belly: Sitting high :)

What I Miss: Soda :(

Sleep: So tell me why when I get in a good sleep on my side, my hip starts to hurt lol. Can't deal

Weight Gain: We'll find out next week..

This Weeks Mood: Happy and Faithful.

Looking Forward To:Getting these baby shower invites completely out. They look adorable!  Abdul did a great job designing them.

Weekly Wisdom For New Mommy's To Be: Stay prayed up! I'm telling you there is no way I can get through any of the moods, emotions, obstacles, etc with Him. Even if you don't believe in Him, pray and build a spiritual relationship with something or someone.

**DADDY'S CORNER**  Daddy is knee deep in graphics and school work lol. He's currently head first in his computer.

**MOMMY'S CORNER** I'm trying to get used to this new diet. This gestational thing is no joke. But again I'd rather be safe than sorry later. 

Movement: She's getting bigger or my stomach space is shrinking.

Symptoms: Migraines out the ******! My bead has been killing me.

Having a workout buddy is very very helpful. My sister is getting fit ready for her wedding in September and we have been at it! (Well her more than me). Even though I can not work out as much as her, just being there walking on the treadmill is amazing. We've been in the gym three weeks strong now! I must say I do feel a lot better.

**AGAIN DO NOT OVER DO IT, PLEASE ASK YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE DOING ANY NEW WORKOUTS**

Until Next Week

NajeeWalker&Baby

25 Weeks!!

Baby Walker is the size of a zucchini! 

Best Moment This Week: The best moment this week has to be the fact that I have had another bottle of Fre. One of my best friends, Ondrea, brought me this for Valentines Day and I've been hooked since. It's a non alcoholic wine, it doesn't give the you affect of "regular wine" but it'll do. It taste like watered down Mascato lol. 

Shopping Yet: There's no point now, I'm ready for maxi dressed.

I'm Craving: Fruit, fruit, and more fruit.

My Belly: Sitting high :)

What I Miss: Real wine lol. 

Sleep: I'm sleeping well until Sarai gets active around 2am.

Weight Gain: So far I've gained 10 pounds.

This Weeks Mood: Ambitious.

Looking Forward To: Starting to decorate Sarai's room.

Weekly Wisdom For New Mommy's To Be: If you are home and not working, keep moving. Getting my new membership at Planet Fitness has been amazing. The treadmill is my new best friend.

**DADDY'S CORNER**  Hey! I'm still breathing here. Working on the baby shower invitations at the moment. They'll be out by next week people!

**MOMMY'S CORNER** This week I was put on a diabetic diet. I know it sucks and I may seem like I eat well and work out (which I do) however this is not as bad as it seems. I have a very high family history of diabetes, so by me being on this diet, I have no complaints. 

Movement: Can we say busy body! I guess because I'm more active now and not sitting at a desk all day, so is she.

Symptoms: A little lower back pain, plus my fingers and toes are starting to swell up.

MomInLove-with-Fitness

I've been at Planet Fitness for the past 3 days! I have been doing mostly walking and cardio, however, every now and then I will get on the machines. I am working with very small weights. Even though I was more active 6 months ago lol, I have barely picked up weights since I found out I was pregnant. Remember you CAN NOT jump right into the workouts, especially if it's been a while and you're pregnant. Talk to your doctor and progress in increments.

Work it out Mama!!

**AGAIN DO NOT OVER DO IT, PLEASE ASK YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE DOING ANY NEW WORKOUTS**

Until Next Week

Quarter Life Crisis!!!!

I know it, I've been missing again. I promise I will do better, especially since I have nothing but time on my hands now. I've been going through so much these past two weeks that I could write a book lol.

One of the main reasons I decided to partake in this blog was for me to open up. This has always been something that I have wanted to do being that I am a very reserved person. I figure opening up to the world and myself, during one of the most life changing moments of my life, I would learn something about Saadai.

There have been a few "unfortunate" events that have happened in my 25 years of life. One thing that I can not deny is that, whenever something "unfortunate" happens, it is so easy for me to blame myself, to feel as if I deserve whatever is happening to me.  This blog has actually taught me that I was wrong.

The past two weeks, I have been feeling as if I am going through a l I am no longer working and I am feeling as if I need to make some BIG career changes for the future of my family. If you would have asked me ten years ago, where I would see myself at 25; Pregnant-High Yes, Jobless-Hell No!

Due to a series of unfortunate events, I have been forced to really take a look at myself and my life thus far and I must say, even though I don't own my dance studio, not married, not driving my Range Rover and living in San Fran; I have so much more. I am so thankful for my life and the woman that I have become. My family is amazing! My friends, I do not know what I'd do without them. We are all so different, all in different places in our lives, but we are always there for each other. Abdul, no words can explain how blessed I am to have him. Going through this transition, he has been nothing but supportive, patient, and understanding. He is going to be the best father, I have no doubts about that at all. My sister, Shimah, yeah she is my rock, always motivating me through just as our Mom. And I can't forget about my Sophie. She is my best everything lol. She always know when something is wrong, and she is always on my side. And the best part is......she doesn't talk back lol. And last but not least, my princess Sarai. Every breath, decision, blink, second etc is for her. She motivates me so much to become a better woman to be the best mommy. Three more months to go and I can hold my baby, she has forever changed my life, and I am forever thankful and humble.

22 & 23 Weeks

I'm combining weeks 22 and 23 so I will be on track lol. Been all over the place people, all over smh.

Baby Walker is the size of a pomegranate 

Best Moment This Week: These past two weeks have been great. Abdul and I did our baby registry and enjoyed our second Valentines Day together :)

Abdul really enjoyed being able to find a good parking spot at Babies R Us lol

Roses and Sparkling Cider! 

Shopping Yet: Just leggings and sweaters.

I'm Craving: Fruit  and vanilla milkshake.

My Belly: Getting bigger!

What I Miss: hhmmm nothing this week, we'll see how I feel next week. 

Sleep: Every now and then I am able to get a quick sleep on my stomach. When I realize it I get paranoid like I'm squishing Sarai lol.

Weight Gain: No idea.

This Weeks Mood: Loved.

Looking Forward To: Abdul designing our baby shower invitations.

Weekly Wisdom For New Mommy's To Be: Talk to your baby everyday! They can hear everything you say now......so watch the language hehe.

**DADDY'S CORNER** I surprised Saadai really good this week. It's the smallest thing that makes our relationship full of love and happiness. Click the link below.

Surprise Valentine Gift

**MOMMY'S CORNER** I've been loving the love that Sophie has been giving me and Sarai. She loves laying under her, the sweetest thing ever.

Sophie loves her little sister

Movement: I think I have a little dancer in my belly, just like her mommy and big cousin Yaya! lol

Symptoms: Give me food and I'll be happy. I've had way too many burgers this week lol

MomInLove-with-Fitness

Check out the new workouts I picked up this week!

Arm-Tastic Tuesday, Bootilious Wednesday, Dancer Legs Thursday; These were my three workout days last week. Every other day, I try to get in some cardio (mostly from showing units at work and walking Sophie lol)

Arm Workout

Check out FitnessBlender on YouTube. Their channel is amazing. Even though they do not have workouts categorized for pregnant women, their beginner work outs are great. If you were already a workout kinda person then you'll be fine. Of course do not over do it! Please check with your doctor before trying any new workouts or any workouts that are working out new muscles in your body! 

**AGAIN DO NOT OVER DO IT, PLEASE ASK YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE DOING ANY NEW WORKOUTS**

Until Next Week

21 Weeks!!

Baby Walker is the size of a carrot

Best Moment This Week: There weren't too many good times during this week. We moved, that was good, however I had the worst cold in sickly history!! I was out of commission for about three days. I do enjoy however being closer to my family. I was able to spend time with my nieces Saniya and Skylar. I can not wait unitl Sarai gets here, these three girls are going to be adorable together! 

Shopping Yet:Still no shopping. IDK why I'm not in the mood to shop, I guess I really don't need it right now.

I'm Craving: Oranges! 

My Belly: My belly has become my new clothing accessory lol. I love it.

What I Miss: I didn't realize how much I missed hanging out with my friends until now. But whenever they are going to eat...I'M THERE! 

Belly Button: In

Weight Gain: I've gained 2 more pounds.

This Weeks Mood: Relaxed.

Looking Forward To: Our baby registry! Babies R Us is gonna be my new favorite place.

Weekly Wisdom For New Mommy's To Be: Last week I had a horrible cold and I was so scared that I was giving germs to Sarai. After reading my baby bible (What to Expect When You're Expecting) and getting on my doctors nerves, I am finally able to relax and know that Sarai is perfectly fine.

**DADDY'S CORNER** After having to move our entire apartment with the help of family and great friends, after a ten hour shift, I am able to relax. Now we can get settled in our new home and wait for our little princess.

**MOMMY'S CORNER** Thinking of a master plan for dad! He has had a rough two weeks.

Movement: I didn't feel much movement this week. I was kind of scared because I wanted a kick or something, but she definitely reassured me she was there. 

Symptoms: My linea nigra is getting darker! 

MomInLove-with-Fitness

With the way I've been feeling....hecks no! I'll do something next week!




Okay people I'm playing catch up here! I'll post my current week tomorrow. 


Until tomorrow

20 Weeks!! Gender Reveal!

Baby Walker is the size of a banana 

Best Moment This Week: Baby Walker is a GIRL!!

Shopping Yet:Shockingly No! I'm still able to get away with my normal clothes. 

I'm Craving: Fruit

My Belly: Getting pretty heavy. Sarai is a little busy body in there.

What I Miss: Warm weather and no snow! 

Belly Button: In

Weight Gain: I've gained 2 more pounds.

This Weeks Mood: Happy and Scared 

Looking Forward To: Our first weekend in our new home!

Weekly Wisdom For New Mommy's To Be: Even though I really wanted a boy, I am just as happy and blessed knowing that I am going to have a little girl. Being a parent isn't about the gender you prefer, but it's about being the parent that God intended you to be.  

**DADDY'S CORNER** Abdul can not believe he is having a girl! Once he got the news, he was in complete shock and was stuck lol. Even though he's always wanted a baby girl, the reality brought on a reaction of excitement and him wanting to get a gun for future boys lol.

**MOMMY'S CORNER** This week has been full of ups and downs lol. This week of course we found out we are having a girl, but we also got stuck in a really bad snow storm. It was ten hours of tears, hunger, no cell phone, no gas, but love. I must say Team Walker is amazing! Abdul took care of baby and I amazingly and I adore him for getting us to some form of civilization safely. Even though we were not able to make it home, we made is somewhere. I love you Abdul <3

Movement: She didn't want to move during her ultrasound, but she was moving away afterwards lol.

Symptoms: Sleep.....what's that! If I'm not hot, I'm cold smh. 

MomInLove-with-Fitness

My fitness this week came from packing lol. Even though I didn't move, the packing process was enough movement for me this week. 

Don't let the picture fool you...I did help a little lol

Small 19 Week Update!

Happy Tuesday Everyone :)

Baby Walker is the size of a mango :) 

This week I am going to be doing a small update. I'm saving up for next week, our gender reveal!! This week not too much has changed. My belly is constantly growing and I am so excited to find out if Baby Walker will be a girl or boy. Last week I had to take a 3 hour glucose test, praise God that came back okay. My mood has been a little snappy the past few days. I have gotten to the point where I have zero patience for other peoples issues, since when does being the pregnant one means your the therapist (Baby and I are doing fine, Thanks for asking lol).  Sorry if anyone has caught this snappiness this past week. Abdul and I are doing great! We got to spend the weekend with two of our favorite people and we really enjoyed them. This week we are focusing on packing and getting ready for our moving day next Friday. My workouts have been going great as well. Yesterday was upper body, today is the oh so painful leg day :(

Well this is my small post for the week. This is the last week to cast votes for Team Pink vs. Team Blue, so cast your votes. Until next week peeps.


Najee Walker & Baby

18 Weeks!!

Baby Walker is the size of a bell pepper!

Best Moment This Week: One of my long time best friends had her baby shower. It was so good to see my girls and spend some time with them. Abdul and I found our new place in the same neighborhood as my sister. Yall don't know how excited I am to be closer to our family and friends. Nothing but smiles.

Valenica and I are Mommy's! My girls are the best :)

Hacked by my mahogany love Ebony!

My Belly: Getting pretty heavy. 

What I Miss: Lime-a-rita! (don't judge my life lol)

Belly Button: In

Weight Gain:According to the scale, I have only gained 4 pounds since I've been pregnant! I really don't believe that..  

This Weeks Mood: Blessed

Looking Forward To: Packing!!! Abdul and I are moving :)

Weekly Wisdom For New Mommy's To Be: Last week I had my glucose test and the results were not so well. Today I had to go in for a 3 hour test and I am praying it comes back good. My wisdom for new mommys is not to stress. I was literally driving myself crazy and I don't even know the results yet.

**DADDY'S CORNER** ............No Words lol

**MOMMY'S CORNER** At this moment Abdul is working on fliers for some clients lol. He had a pretty good week. We found a townhome and he loves it. While I was stressing myself out over this glucose test, he was always by my side. With out him and my MiSter (mommy and sister) Shimah, I don't know how I would have gotten through this week.

Movement: I can't wait to feel more movements. I know I'm going to regret that later, but I love the interactions we have with baby.

Symptoms: With this crazy up and down temperature I must say by breast are going through.They were in so much pain during Atlanta's single digit weather that it literally brought me to tears.

MomInLove-with-Fitness

When it comes to in house workouts YouTube is my favorite place to go. My favorite YouTube fitness page is by far Fitness Blender. These work out will have you sore for days. The one that got me the most was their Brazilian Buttocks workout. I was in pain for the whole week which was weird to be because I am a dancer. Of course I did change a few things up because I didn't want to over do it, overall successful! Video link below.
