He will definitely be reincarnated as a gay, busted, drag queen...reincarnated into everything he says he hates but probably secretly loves!

TALK ABOUT RUSSIAN ROULETTE...

Russian Roulette that's the game we play when producing the little ones, we just never know what we are going to get!

Here's the thing, I come from a mixed background (caucasion mom/African American Dad) and married a very cute caucasion/Jewish man. Basically my apt. is like the UN! Given all of the color mixing we were just not sure what (now Aiden our first child) was going to look like? It's like gambling and getting the best case scenario! Given she was only going to be a quarter African American the chances of her being brown were...well slim to none! My husband wished and wished we would have a little brown baby but to no avail. We got what we got, and what we got is BEAUTIFUL! She's like this little golden child:) And what she lacked in color she made up in personality!

So there we were patiently waiting in the delivery room for her to arrive (we did not know if we were having a boy or a girl), to see what on earth we had produced. For most people, that's the biggest surprise of all...the sex, but for us we were waiting to see the shade of the baby too!!! To some that may sound just insane, but really for us it was a normal thought!

Is this weird that I am talking about this? Probably to most, but truly it is something we think about often! Now, once again with this one in my belly we wonder like any normal parent, what the baby will look like? Will the baby look like Aiden? Will the baby be the same color? Lighter? Darker? I know in my own family (I have a little brother) he is lighter than I am. We resemble one another but are 2 completely different color tones! WOW there are so many things to think about when having a baby, who knew betting on what color your kid would be...would be one of them!

I can't imagine what my parents went through in the 70's! I walk down the street on the UES sometimes and people often think I am my daughter's nanny...I S__T you NOT! A post for another time:)

Is it the weekend yet? Off to the dr. shortly. I now see her every other week, and that will soon progress into every week. This is the so not fun part, the part when you just play the waiting game. I had Aiden a couple of weeks early, so God willing this one will come a bit early but not too early! I pray, not about world peace but about that!

More to come kids, more to come!

PREGNANCY DOES NOT TAKE EVERY BRAIN CELL FROM YOUR BODY!

How do you help people to understand that you are not stupid, you are just pregnant??!!?
I find that people often mistake your pregnancy for a "condition" that you can't "help." In other words being pregnant does not mean you can't think the same way...you might be a bit slower than you were when not pregnant but hey...the baby does come out! Why do people think the way you would normally react or deal with a situation might change? AND typically I find it is the people who are younger than you AND certainly less experienced in their field. You want to slap them and say listen, I have been around the block a few times, paid my dues being pregnant is not a handicap!

I find that some of it must be dependent on the way you look...in my business if you can't move faster than a fox you might miss out on an opportunity! HOWEVER there are plenty of people who have had babies, successfully...some more successfully than others, but I think people forget that they have mother's too...and if they didn't, well then they would not be here!!!

On the other hand there are times when I do feel completely overwhelmed by everything and the last thing I need is a dumb email from someone...but then I think, really I would feel the same way with or without kids and pregnancy. A dumb email is a dumb email! An annoying person is annoying person, etc. I like the, "never let them see you sweat" kinda attitude, and it's worked pretty well from me. Gets the job done even if I am upside down and turned around inside. I welcome the day when these people marry and have babies and are still trying to run their "perfect" businesses. I know that day will come, so I just sit back patiently waiting for it to happen...and really by then, I will be done having the kids and running the GODMAN WORLD!!! Well not really, but that just sounded like a good ending to my paragraph:)

On a lighter note, Aiden said to me today..."Mama I know you have to go pee pee but can you go downstairs I have to go to the bathroom up here...she then paused and said, "Is that even possible?" So apparently I am now the size of a mack truck to my daughter too! UGH TGIIAO (thank god it's almost over)!!!

PS: Rule #248 never let them see you sweat, because once you do...you lose all credibility!

Hope everyone's having a FABU weekend!

MEN WILL BE BOYS...OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT...

I learned something while pregnant the first time, that's just now being reinforced for a second time...Men (straight or gay) say really dumb things to pregnant women. I am not sure if it's just because the notion of pregnancy is so foreign to them or because they are just plain stupid. It may, realistically, be the a little bit of both.

When men say things like," Better you than me" about being pregnant, I often say there is a reason men are not the ones that do this...bottom line is they are pussy's and we are not. My all time favorite thing that is often said is, "OMG your belly is HUGE!" OK fucker, well you see...I have a baby in there, and it grows exponentially by the moment, so yeah my belly IS huge. Remember your mama carried you around for 9 months or you would not even be here; need I remind them that? I think the ones that are more sensitive of course are the ones who have wives that have gone through it. I think the ones who are the least sensitive are the ones that have not experienced it second hand. In any event, it's a total shit show.

How do you deal with these types of situations? Here is one of my suggestions:

IDIOT-"Hi Beth it's so good to see you..OMG your belly is HUGE, no Beth your belly is HUGE" (like I did not hear it the first time mind you)
BTC-"Um thanks so much for pointing that out, not really...kinda where I should be for this point in my pregnancy!"
IDIOT-"Really? I don't know...where you that big during your first pregnancy?"
BTC-"I am so flattered that you remember what I was like last time, given you are a gay, single man"

At least "we" women don't have to worry about sweaty balls and baby powder!

GOD is it Friday yet? I am so needing it to be, besides being BEYOND exhausted I just don't feel like looking at anyone's face for a couple of days...including my own!

CIAO FOR NOW!
More to come kids, more to come...

WHEN YOU JUST NEED NOT SAY ANYTHING!

This is the shit that makes me crazy!

http://blog.giselebundchen.com.br/en/sentido/a-importancia-da-amamentacao/

"Remember how Gisele Bundchen said that mothers who don't breastfeed their babies should be shackled and thrown into prison for the rest of their lives? And remember how you drove by Gisele's house last night and threw out a titty balloon full of spoiled milk with a note attached that read "Breastfeed on this so your bitch ass can shut up already!". Remember that? If you don't, you should go suckle on a bottle of Ginkgo, because this happened yesterday so your memory might be going. But I'm disgressing all over the place again!

Gisele went on her blog last night to clarify the "there should be a worldwide breastfeeding law" comment she made to Harper's Bazaar UK. Gisele wrote:
My intention in making a comment about the importance of breastfeeding has nothing to do with the law. It comes from my passion and beliefs about children. Becoming a new mom has brought a lot of questions, I feel like I am in a constant search for answers on what might be the best for my child. It’s unfortunate that in an interview sometimes things can seem so black and white. I am sure if I would just be sitting talking about my experiences with other mothers, we would just be sharing opinions. I understand that everyone has their own experience and opinions and I am not here to judge. I believe that bringing a life into this world is the single most important thing a person can undertake and it can also be the most challenging. I think as mothers we are all just trying our best.
The next time Gisele doesn't LITERALLY mean something, she should use the word LIT-TERALLY in front of it so we know not to take her statement seriously.-DILISTED

Take a look at what Giselle has to say about breastfeeding, and then retracting her statement because she sounded like a total ASS! From the beginning I have always said my blog was going to be about me, but that I would also try and be somewhat subjective, when necessary; whatever works for you kinda thing...but what I cannot tolerate is rampant rants about things that might not work for everyone. I mean, she should obviously stick to modeling, she's got looks but that does not necessarily mean she's got the brains!

Here's the thing, Giselle, biselle, miselle whoever the hell you are...you have a right to take a passionate stance re: breastfeeding. You can believe it in, feel it, live it, breathe it, but that does NOT mean you can be intolerant of those who do not shares your same sentiments. I think there's a fine line to be crossed in that regard and many people cross it without realizing what it is that they are saying. Why is it that the breastfeeders can't condone the non-breastfeeders, but the formula feeders don't say (or typically do not) negative things about the breastfeeders? Or if they do, they certainly do it quietly...I know I do:)

I think I finally know where I stand on this issue...I believe and condone both behaviors. It is not contingent on what I "believe" to be right, more so dependent on the mother and the child. Who am I to judge someone who decides it is indeed the best thing to do, given the proven medical history they are probably correct. On the other hand, some chose not to do it just because, some literally are not able to, and some try and it just does not work out for anyone...

In conclusion, watch your mouth! Words are powerful especially when it comes to women who are pregnant, post pregnant breastfeeding, etc. What is good for you may not be good for others and that's just what makes the world more colorful. It is such a controversial topic I doubt it will ever go away, but maybe one day we will live in a world where the breastfeeders can share the same general space as a formula feeders, and live in perfect harmony!

Awwww, the joys of pregnancy...NOT!

NAME THAT TUNE...

I know I have talked about this before, but I must address it again...it's just tooooo juicy!

What is it about names that gets everyone so fired up? AND why is it that people think that their opinion genuinely counts? Is it possible that their insecurities about their own name, make them feel like they need to attack other people and the names that they choose? I still to this day, do not understand. IF you ask someone for their opinion it is then appropriate, if not...the best you can do is fake a smile and pretend you like it. What is the harm in doing that? If you feel the need to talk about the fact that you do not like it, then by all means please do...with someone else! Showing a family of 40 a face that insinuates you do not like a name choice...just super annoying!

How do you find a nice way of accepting things that others decide, the ones you love...without pushing your own opinions on them to harshly? Is there a way? Is there a way of accepting things even if you don't love whatever they are choosing? I think my mom did...I know when we first decided on the name Aiden Rae, she was not thrilled. She loved Aiden but was not in love with Rae. Funny enough, she loves it now...and tried her BEST to not push her own opinions on us; however, she is the mother and I think mother's can be exempted from this rule. I also think when you talk to a friend or family member and you have them involved in the choosing process, that's fine too. I use naming as an example but really it could be anything from the clothes you wear, to the names you choose to the foods you eat, etc.

Please do try and remember that we are more fragile than ever, our emotions are ALL over the damn map...so all we need is positive love and attention, anything past that...shut it!

Ah, what is that saying "Love and Light?" Yeah eff you...I need a beer!
