Aries Derrae Garcia-Blake

I can’t believe I only have 8 weeks left until I deliver. That truly blows my mind. I remember I had my 2nd ultrasound at 7 weeks and he was just a tiny little peanut that you could hardly even see! Now he will be coming soon and be big enough for me to hold and care for. As the time ticks closer I get so overwhelmed with a feeling of love its hard to really explain. I love my little peanut so very much and I have yet to actually meet him! It truly is an amazing feeling. The experience of becoming a mother is truly nothing less that a gift from God! I look around in the world and see and hear about mothers who abandon there children or do not properly care for them and I cant even fathom the idea of that. How is it you can not feel this love? How can you not want to show your child the love that he/she makes you feel? How do you not feel the love? I truly do not understand. I know this woman who is a mother of somebody very very close to me and over the years that I have known my friend I have seen how there mother has continuously treated them poorly and the effect it has had on my friend. I was raised in a different way where my mother loved me with everything she had in her so I never understood this other mother(of my friend) but now that I am about to be a mother or in essence already am one… I truly can not understand how she can go about treating her sons the way she does? It honestly makes me so sad inside. I feel as though every child she be able to know unconditional love and the fact that there are so very many mothers out there that don’t even show love to there children… well it really just breaks my heart. As a mother how do you just turn your back on your child? On a different note… I am getting very excited I have my first birthing class next weekend Even though I have seen 3 births and Have a very good idea on how I want my birth to go already I am still excited to learn anything that I might during the class! It is just so crazy how fast time is going. I know that the second September hits I’m going to blink my eyes and my son is going to be here! There is so much going on in September I Jacques starts school and he has a VERY FULL load, I am putting in extra hours before the baby comes since I am taking an extra long maternity leave… my pre registration papers are due at the hospital… I become full term and I start having doctor appointments EVERY WEEK!!! And by the weekend of the 12th I hope to have his room completed! Oh man this summer has flown by! Well as always I hope that everyone out there has the most amazing week possible! Also I decided That I am going to announce my sons name since so many people accidently found out at the baby shower. It has two meanings he is partly named after his daddy and also his name is the oldest Latin name in the history of the Latin people before the Greek stole it! oh and his last name is hyphenated because even though i am engaged when i get married i am also hyphenating my last name I WILL NOT get rid of Garcia because my father does not have any Sons and I am the oldest daughter... its a garcia thing to do. Any who his name is Aries Derrae Garcia-Blake! My little Aries! : ) Thanking God every day for this amazing blessing!
