Let's seeeee.. where do I start?.. oh, I know! Ang is 18 weeks now, aka 4.5 months. We're two weeks away from the halfway mark. Got the big level 2 ultrasound coming up. Really looking forward to that. It's the one where they'll check Zi from head to toe. He'll have all four chambers of his heart examined, the entire 9 yards. They'll even swing the camera around to show me his baseball bat. Then I'll really know if he's mine and not the milkman's, lmaoo. I kid, I kid.
Things are really moving fast nowadays. It's really starting to set in for me that this is real and this is happening. I lowkey prayed for days like this. Been working a lot lately. 16-17 hour days, 6-7 days a week. But I happened to have yesterday off & I did not squander that opportunity to knock out a ton of shit that Ang has been on my neck about. I recruited the help of my father and little brother, Tay, and we got Zi's room all cleaned out, his armoire painted white and his crib put together. Now all that's left is for Ang and her mom and her sister to come in and work their magic. They'll turn that empty space into a real life African safari in no time.
What else is new? Hmm. We'll be touring the local hospitals in about one weeks time to figure out which one we're going to use to deliver the baby. Smart one is on Florida Hospital bc it's a lot more modern and Ang is bougie than a MFer. (I am too but let's keep that between you and I.)
I've been working on a real treat for the blog that I think everyone will enjoy. I'm actually very proud of it. It's just been kinda slow going getting it all put together so it can be presented properly. That'll probably be up by the end of the week, Lord willing. Sorry to be all elusive or what not but I don't wanna spoil it.
When I first began my blog, my great friend, Suaad, decided to take it upon herself to sorta give me an informal interview to use as blogging material. I never got around to posting it so without further ado...
Q: What will you do for Angel to make this pregnancy as stress free as possible?
A: Reassure her that everything will be ok, pay all the bills and help out with chores around the house.
Q: Have you asked your parents for advice? If so, what was the most important thing they said to you?
A: I haven't verbally went to them and asked for advice. I just kinda watch them and observe and remember lessons from how I was raised for me to turn around and apply with my kids.
Q: What are you most excited about?
A: Soooo many things.. the first hour with just me, Ang and Zion.. the look of joy on my father-in-law's face just sticks out to me for some reason.. everything
Well, guys.. that's all for now. I'll be sure to check byke in with you all more often.
Ahh, fuck. I almost forgot! Vera Gatti Vasquez was born today! Huge congratulations to my best friend, Gotti, and his wife, Luz. You two are an inspiration to me. Real talk. Love y'all to life.
Until next time, world.
