Welcome

Greetings!
So this is officially my first post. For some this will serve as an announcement that ... Drum roll please! ... I am Preggers! Surprised? Believe me so was I lol.

For those of you who are not aware of the crazy circumstances surrounding this auspicious conception, here's the low-down:

The summer of 2006. after graduating from college, I moved back to Houston. I had planned on moving to NY but obviously thats not what God had in mind at the time. In my experience, it seems as though what God wants, and what I want, are rarely in accordance lol. I stayed in Houston for a good year and a half, had a good job and was even acting! So things were good.

Now I'll be honest, I was a PARTY GIRL. Shopping everyday, eating out twice a day, and living it up in the clubs with my fly ass friends, thats what life was all about right? So then I get hit with this revelation ... HE has a way of letting me know when I need a major life change ... "this is not the life I should be living. I need to leave... I'm moving to NY ... well NJ." So I pack my things, hop in my PT Cruiser and go.

I take an extended roadtrip up the east coast, seeing old friends, and family, in order to re-cement some relationships, and find closure in others before i began to embark upon my new life on the east coast. There was a special someone who lived ini NJ, but in my mind I was not ready for a serious relationship, and if i was to even consider it, i had to be sure that there weren't any lingering "what ifs" ya know? So by the end of the trip I'm sure that all "what ifs" have be extinguished, but I'm still not ready to settle down right? Of course not. I'm here. NYC, the place to be, if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. Now of course i don't know too many folks here, pretty much that special someone and his family.( Now i had made some friends in the last production i did in Houston, and a very good friend of mine had just moved to the Bronx, but when you live in NJ and have yet to master public transportation, lets just say I haven't seen any of them that often.) So of course we're getting closer and one thing leads to another and ...

Wham Bam Thank you Ma'am!

A baby is made Lol. Hope that wasn't too graphic for you. Now the only reasons i didn't have a complete breakdown are:

1. I love him and we have a 6 year history which is way more than a lotta couples can say.
2. I'm extremely young looking, so 9 months to a year won't take that big a chunk out of my career lol. I'm 24 and can pass for 17 , and I figure that when I'm 40 I'll pass for 29 (or something like that LMAO)
3. And sh!t, the babies coming, so I might as well be happy about it.

Well that's about it for my introduction. Don't want it to be too long, there will be many more details to come, I promise.

  1. I just read an essay from Maya Angelou's Letter to My Daughter and in it, she describes giving birth to her son at 16 and how it never hindered her but only pushed her towards further growth to make her child proud. Aziza, you are going to be an awesomely fly mommy and this experience is only going to push you forward. Love ya sis!
