7 months into Pregnancy
Los Angeles, CA
The Neverland Ranch

  Two more months until we get to meet our bundle or joy.  Michael, is the most excited out of the both of us just recently we found out the gender of our baby the doctor told us that we're going to have a girl my stomach is huge, and I am starting to experience the lower back pain I've heard about from family members or from talking with Michael's mom over the phone.  Michael has been very supportive and helpful he even did the whole nursery himself because he didn't want me to hurt myself even though I insisted that I would be fine.  I did have some input though like where the furniture should be placed in the room, or what color he should paint it.  I  believe I couldn't have found the more perfect man to have a family with, or to end up spending the rest of my life with I feel like my mom would've been proud of my choice.

  I can't fit into my normal clothes at the moment, so I had to change out my wardrobe until this pregnancy is over I don't mind it I actually needed an updated wardrobe except I wasn't expecting stretchy outfits and maternity shirts. I also didn't expect to be doing less movements well I still try to exercise because both Mrs. Jackson and the doctor said it could help with the delivery. I try to eat healthy, too sometimes she makes me eat something I shouldn't like cookies or a cupcake. Sigh. Pregnancy is fun I guess I know it's been a journey. Michael, spent most of the day getting the nursery situated when he'd catch a break he caught up on some business affairs then he'd spend his evenings with me curled up on the couch being all cute and adorable with my stomach. I can't wait to meet little Seraphina Rose Jackson, and neither can Michael.

Whenever Iook at Michael he's so full of joy there's this twinkle in his eyes sometimes I tear up thinking I made this man the happiest man on Earth. I didn't vision myself being a mother so soon it was always a future plan for me, but now I changed my mind my future plan is happening now during these seven months I have done some thinking and mind preparing myself for what's going to happen to my body when I go into the delivery room.  I got some insight from the doctor, the internet, and Michael's mom. It's going to be rough, but I feel like I can do it.  It's what I was made for biologically anyways.  Michael, felt the need to cook dinner for us something healthy it smelled delicious plus I was getting hungry and was about to go search the kitchen for something I know I shouldn't eat.  I walked into the kitchen and sat down at the table Michael had a apron on cooking some vegetables in a skillet I feel like I'm watching a professional chef.

The aroma of the food filled my nostrils I closed my eyes, and let all my senses enjoy this bliss.

"Smells good, hon" I said re-opening my eyes. Michael, looked over at me foe a second he smiled at me as a response then went back to cooking. Dinner was just about finished.  When he got done with our dinner he placed our plates on the table and began to portion out our servings on the plates.  Michael, took off his apron and set it aside on the seat next to him we bowed our heads in prayer we said grace then begin eating. This food was amazing I knew Mike was a great cook, but this was five star worthy.  I finished my plate of food I actually felt full. Maybe my brain was playing a trick on me I know I couldn't eat anymore food after that plate. Michael, finished his plate then got up with our plated stacked on top of eachother he did the dishes. I looked over at the clock on the stove to see what time it was it was currently "7:00" I was actually getting sleepy.

I went over to Mike and gave him a kiss on the cheek before telling him I was headed to bed. He nodded then went to check on something then he went to the bedroom with me. We called it a night early.  I am actually looking forward to these next few months. Welcome home Seraphina Rose.
