We now know what the baby is and what "it" looks like ... Keep reading to find out!!

Hello! I know it has been a little over 2 months ... it's called life ... what can I say!? A lot has happened over the last 2 months and so now I'm here to make up for the lost time. Hmmm ... where should I start? Alright, alright ... we did find out on May 25th that we are having a GIRL! That's right ... a GIRL! Heheeh ... We were thinking it was going to be a boy, but we are so blessed to have a beautiful healthy baby girl ... I just can't say that I'm looking forward to another mixed girls hair though! Hehehe I'm already starting to stock up on products! I told my boss that I will probably be late everyday! Their hair is just so time consuming!

2 weeks after we found out it was a baby girl, we were able to get some 3D pics of her. She was so active during the ultrasound. The tech said she was a show off. Makalee, my Mom, Gma, Gpa and of course Jamaal were there to witness her acting crazy like the rest of her siblings : ) The two pictures I'm attaching are of her showing her goodies ... which you can definitely see that she is a girl! The other is of her sucking her thumb. Hopefully I can get more of the 3D pics up.



















As Jamaal and I begin the summer, we do it with no kids! The kids are shipped off to their other halves. However, we did get to go to a fun BBQ with Makalee and some of my friends before she left. It just cracked me up because Makalee was talking to Jamaal about loaning him some money. She told him that she would give him $100 and then she leaned over to me and whispered in my ear that she was going to charge him interest! Hahah She is too funny! The last couple months, she learned about interest, insurance, debt and other misc things at school and it's awesome that she understands that she doesn't want to be the one borrowing and paying interest!

Since I last checked in, we also celebrated Mother's Day. It was AMAZING! My kids and husband went all out! Makalee made me pictures, made me a bracelet and did a fun piece of art for me at school! Jayden made me a keychain and a coupon book and Bella made me this huge painting! Jamaal of course spoiled me and gave me this beautiful watch that I had been wanting :) When I went to redeem one of my coupons from Jayden, which happened to be ... 1 day of pulling weeds ... he pretty much refused! Hahah ... So I guess I'll have to wait until next year to see if he is interested in pulling weeds~!




Like I said, Jamaal and I are going to be pretty lonely this summer, so we have been going out and taking walks with Apollo. This is a picture of me the other before our walk at 23 weeks!



Makalee has been busy as well. She went to the Zoo with Ace and his family and she was able to bring her friend Angela, which really gave Ace a peek into raising a tween! She also was able to talk him into some new shoes because she did such a great job this year in school. Speaking of how great she did ... She received the Presidential Physical Fitness Award and an Outstand Academic Achievement Award for 2nd grade! Wow ... What an amazing child I have : ) Here is a pic of her new shoes!
