LIFE UPDATE: WHEN YOU REMAIN POSITIVE

Hey party people lol, a lot has been happening since the last time I had a blog. I hardly talk about how I'm feeling or what I am going through but I think I'm ready to share a part of my life that could potentially help someone else. By now everyone should know that I am expecting a child in less than 3 weeks and I'm so scared but I think I am prepared, but then again I guess you can never be ready. 

Pregnancy week 37

I am now considered 'full term' and I feel so heavy it's a little bit annoying but the way I see it I am at the end and I'm very happy that Gemini could reach this stage. I was actually premature by 6 weeks LOL so she's stronger than me and made it till the end, she's making me proud already. According to these apps she now weighs about 2.8kg (same as 4 pints of milk and 2 cans of beans) and 48.5 cm... Lord help my tiny body cause I am tired. She is also gaining about an ounce of weight every TWO days. I am not enjoying this stage of pregnancy, I'm at the point were I'm just like please hurry up and come I wanna see you lol.

Health 

I haven't put on any weight at all but I find it extremely difficult to breathe, I feel like I'm being crushed sometimes and it's not a nice feeling. I am mentally healthy I would say this because I feel a lot more happier in myself and everyday when I wake up I find the motivation to be productive and complete my daily goals. The only disadvantage I'm facing right now is my Iron levels are mega low and although I've been prescribed Iron tablets I cannot personally take them as it affects my bowel movements. So I find myself sleeping more than usual but this is very common in pregnancy and it was an ongoing problem before I found out I was pregnant.

University

I can finally say I have finished university and I am currently awaiting my grades (I'm super scared to find out what I'm graduating with) I worked so hard on my Dissertation topic and I actually want to share with you what my topic was because I feel like it can help a lot of black women who have self-esteem issues (to be published at a later date). University has been a long rocky road for me and I am happy to have made it to the end, that is an achievement in it's self. Well Done to everyone who has also finished... WE MADE IT YA'LL 

Relationship

I am single and enjoying life I do not need a man to make me feel happy or complete. Yes I am also a single mum and I'm going to be a great one. I REFUSE to force a man to take care of his responsibility.

Secret Project

The main reason why I haven't returned to Youtube yet is because I am working on a secret project/website in hopes of helping single mothers and mothers in general who are looking for a bargain. I mean who doesn't love a sweet bargain. I will explain in detail closer to the time when the website is complete and ready to launch... So keep your eyes peeled and look out for that. 

What else is new?

- I plan to do a mummy series on my Youtube channel and my blog where I share my new found experience, products I will be using and daily updates on baby Gemini. I absolutely cannot wait to do a labour and delivery video LOL... I have a high tolerance for pain and it makes me wonder how I'm going to handle this type of pain!

- I want to do daily or weekly vlogs, I'm not sure which one you guys prefer but it's one or the other so if you can please email me or comment down below which ones you would love to see that would be great.

- I am and have declared myself to be an all rounder blogger/Youtuber, I know a lot of people have said but 'what's your focus?' and my honest answer is I do not have one. I just want to be able to share things I love and Do with people on the internet and who know's it might actually help someone out there. I am a multipurpose person - and my excuse is I'm a Gemini we are naturally confused and want to do everything LOL.

- Oh yes, I changed my name from 'Foreverbarbs' to 'Barbara Antigua' just because I feel like I am maturing and didn't think forever barbs suits me anymore. I hope this makes sense lol.

I think that is it for my life update, I don't think I've missed anything out. So far I can say I am 100% enjoying blogging and I hope you guys are loving everything about this blog and me. Not a lot goes on in my life but the little that does I share with you guys. Thank you for supporting me so far ... Let's Grow Together x
