Pregnancy Haiku

While combing through the Blog’s 6 year archives, I discovered some pretty creative short posts and thought I would share the best 5 here, my Bellyitch Blog Haiku.

poor soon-to-be-middle child.
He insists on sitting on my rapidly vanishing lap. That is his favorite spot for reading a book or coloring while I’m on the computer.
UNFORTUNATELY, LITTLE MUNCHKIN, there is little room on there as Baby#3 grows and grows.
He slips off. He wiggles his little bum BACK BACK to try to squeeze back on…
He slides…He slips.
I have to put him on his own chair to sit on his own bottom.
Mommy’s lap is “Out of Order” for 3 months, I tell him. Come Back in February.
POOR POOR SOON-TO-BE-MIDDLE CHILD!
ode to Garlic


Garlic. Oh Garlic. How do I hate your scent? Let me count the ways.
Pungent. Offensive. You make me want to barf. You waif through the air
Attach to my clothes, my skin. No amount of spearmint, peppermint or vanilla mint toothpaste of mouthwash can banish your aroma…
you stank.
Ummmm DID I DO THAAAAAT??
so it’s bad enough I’m already clumsy and a bit on the less than graceful side…throw in a bout of pregnancy-induced klutziness and look out world!
sometimes I feel there is a practical joke- busting ghost or spirit walking around just knocking stuff out of my hands for fun.
why else would I drop the entire bowl of cookie dough my son and I were going to bake on Monday or spill a half a cup of coffee on my lap while dropping off my other son yesterday for no apparent reason…really, I keep dropping stuff left and right. Is my equilibrium off or something? Do I need glasses?
geez! I’m feeling quite Steve Urkel these days that’s for sure.
sleep v. the bladder



this time around, i’m not letting my bladder win
even with a gallon of pee resting on my groins, I refuse to get up and interrupt those lovely and vivid dreams pregnant women get
so i get up once a night and not 3 x as with the boys’ pregnancy…i’m gonna ask my doc if I am destroying my bladder doing this and setting myself up for incontinence in the future!
i suppose the first time i wake up in small puddle that would put an end to my stubborn battle…
tee hee….
someone needs a facial
i think of the intro to hip hop star Kelis’ song “Bossy” which starts with “diamonds on my neck, diamonds on my grill…” I LOVE KELIS! (video HERE
but in my version it goes, “I got pimples on my neck…pimples cause this girl…pimples on my neck…”
HAHAHA! i’ve counted 5 pimples on my neck and 4 on my chin in the LAST TWO DAYS! wHAT DA??? I am blessed with pretty good skin so these things set a sister back a bit…I’ve been mudmasking it for two days, but I think i need professional intervention….

Drew Barrymore celebrated 39th birthday, New book made New York Times Bestsellers List

So mom-to-be Drew Barrymore celebrated her birthday this weekend with friends and Tonight Show show host & SNL alum Jimmy Fallon. 

Nice! Happy Belated Birthday!

But the bigger news is that her book called “Find It In Everything” a collection of heart shapes she captured in various scenery and objects reached the New York Times best seller’s list for Advice, How To and Miscellaneous.

Wow! Congrats!
“I can’t believe it ! #finditineverything is a New York Times best seller !” she wrote in an Instagram post last week when the news came out about the month-old book.  “I never would have thought ! I am so humbled and thrilled. Thank you @LittleBrown for publishing this book.”
Her gal pal and Charlie’s Angels co-star Cameron Diaz made the list for her new book “The Body Book.” 
We know this because Barrymore, who is expecting her second child with husband Will Kopelman, shouted her out as well, writing, “Ps ! Look who is also a best seller #thebodybook #lovemycameron.”
Nice! Olive’s mom joins our other  Bellyitch Bumpwatch alum to hit the NYT Bestseller’s list: Snooki. 
Nicole Polizzi‘s novels “A Shore Thing” made the list too back in 2010 when it hit the shelves as well.
Note to Self: Get into the ghost writing for celebrities business. 
If you aren’t already you can a stalk follow Drew Barrymore on Instagram to keep up with her fabulous life!
I love that our Bellyitch moms stay on their grind while pregnant. Yass, moms! Yass!

45th Annual NAACP Image Awards Red Carpet Fashion: Kerry Washington & others who wowed (PHOTOS)

Last night, some of our current and past Bellyitch Bumpwatch and other moms hit the red carpet to the  45th NAACP Image Awards at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in Pasadena, California on February 22, 2014.
Scandal actress and first time mom-to-be Kerry Washington stunned in a custom Thakoon NY dress, Christian Louboutin shoes, a brada clutch and Suzanne Kalan ring. 
The  and her cast took home the award for the Outstanding Drama Series award.  She looked stunning pictured with actors Tony Goldwyn, Scott Foley, Columbus Short, Katie Lowes, Darby Stanchfield, Joe Morton, Bellamy Young, and Guillermo Diaz,

Idris Elba, Best Actor nominee for  Nelson Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom  and Dad-to-be and with girlfriend Naya Garth, looked dapper in a fitted tux and Louboutin “Dada” flats while posing with 2014 Award season “It” girl actress Lupita  Nyong’o of 12 Years A Slave.  Elba won the award for Outstanding Actor in a Television Movie, Mini-Series or Dramatic Special for his role in Luther
 Nyong’o took home the Best Actress award for her role in that movie award and  looked amazing in a plunging neckline burnt orange Givenchy  pre-Fall 2014 gown with matching sandals and box clutch from the designer with her hair in a parted afro-puff. She acceneted the look with an H. Stern gold cuff and dangling earrings. 

A more recent Bellyitch bumpwatch mom Nia Long was nominated for her role in House of Lies and wowed in a jade green  Nicole Miller halter gown Brian Atwood heels, a Salvatore Ferragamo nude basket-weave clutch and Danielle Queller earrings.

 

Our winner for best body winner actress Regina King, who was nominated for outstanding actress in a drama series, turned heads in Michael Costello, who seems to be the go-to designer for Black Hollywood but seemed to miss in this ill fitting black mermaid dress that looked to constrain the SouthLAnd  star’s toned torso too much.

We have covered mom and soon-to-be surrogate TV personality Sherri Shepherd of The View in the past and last night she worked magic in an off the shoulder shimmery Carmen Marc Valvo gown. The unexpected blue nails were a plus, with the statement accent pieces. 
One of the very first moms we featured for being the first to have a reality TV special following her pregnancy, singer and actress Brandy Norwood, won the  Image award for “Best Supporting Actress In A Comedy Series” for her role on BET’s The Game.  She looked darling and sexy in a black cut out dress during the non-televised dinner show and again the next day during the televised portion of the show in a Jean Fares Couture black lace embellished gown with nude lining.

Even though she didn’t win for her wonderful and talented work in The Butler, advice mom to the world, Ms. Oprah Winfrey looked dazzling in her burnt orange dress while paying tribute to the late Nelson Mandela who we lost earlier this year.

Melissa Harris-Perry revealed she used surrogate to deliver her baby



MSNBC Host Melissa Harris-Perry opened up on a blog post yesterday to share that she welcomed her new daughter via gestational pregnancy.
She and her husband James Perry used a gestational carrier to deliver a baby that is genetically theirs.
“The birth of every child is miraculous,” she wrote. “This little girl is no exception.”
The 40-year old host of a self-titled political talk show that uses the hashtag Nerdland  in social media for its program disclosed that at age 28, she had an uneventful pregnancy and delivered a daughter from a previous relationship. But then she developed fibroids and after years of battling them, eventually had to have a hysterectomy. 
“I spent years suffering from the agony of uterine fibroids,” Perry stated. “Finally, in 2008, after fighting back with an arsenal of homeopathic and medical weapons, I decided to have my uterus removed. I wept for the children I would never have and made peace with the idea that one is enough.”
That left her unable to conceive with the man she later married…until she learned of a friend conceiving through a gestational surrogate and got convinced to give it a try.
“I read everything I could find, consulted everyone I could, and prayed a lot. In 2012, James and I began our journey with enormous faith and more than a little trepidation,” she wrote while noting that  one of every 100 babies born in the United States was conceived via fertility assistance. “Because I had retained my ovaries, we were able to create our own biological embryos. In Vitro Fertilization was a physically taxing and emotionally brutal process. But for many people, it has changed their lives.”

Indeed Perry and her husband welcomed their daughter on Valentine’s day.

When life doesn’t go according to plan, you pluck a couple of lemons off of a tree and make a whisky sour! Boom!
