Hey there.
I'm Jewel. I need to update this page because things have changed. A lot. I will do it soon, but I will leave this up for now & for for memories. The following was written in October of 2009...
3 months ago I began my pregancy adventure, and I really wanted to start recording my thoughts, my hopes, fears, dreams, ridiculous emotions, prayers, & of course pictures of my family as it develops... So I started this blog to do be the outlet of my story.
This is probably one of the worst times in my life to become a mommy, but it took me about 5 seconds to get over the shock & become ecstatic. I am looking forward to my baby forcing me to become the woman that I've always known I would be.
My Baby Daddy Marcus is still just my boyfriend. But we plan on changing that in the next few months. We'll have a fake wedding with a fake proposal, a fake ring, a fake ceremony but a legal certificate. And then we'll have our dream wedding a few years later.
Here we are at the first doctor's visit.
We have many many many challenges ahead, but we look forward to overcoming them.
We both have unstable careers with entrepreneurial aspirations. I am currently building a division within my company, and our goal is to open our own restaurant in the next three years.
I have unmentionable debt, which we plan to eliminate soon so we can start our baby a college fund.
I'm getting my MBA online. I only started it so that I would know more about running businesses. So far it's not as beneficial as I anticipated. But I will finish to finish.
I plan to have a homebirth with a midwife, following in the footsteps of my brave sister & mother and the billions & billions of women who have done so before me. It's funny to me though how much resistence I have encountered concerning this decision. But I am thrilled about it.
I have 2 brothers, 2 sisters, 2 parents, 1 niece & 1 nephew, all of whom are dispersed throughout Texas & Mississippi. They are all beautiful & wonderful, & I miss them lots.
I am happy to be sharing. Talk to you soon!
