These past few weeks away from my blog has really lead me into deep thinking. I am now officially as of today 9 weeks pregnant. '

To many people, they may think, "Oh wow, Lynn! Do you want a cookie?"

I already have grasped on to the understanding that people who are already insecure about their own life and lifestyle will drag for someone like me regardless. However, I don't care for other people's input on the life that is growing inside of my womb and neither a got-damn cookie. I have admired many woman embrace motherhood with open arms and have reached out to many of those women before I even conceive. The more I truly think about these next six months are going to be, I thank God for this journey that I am on now.

Dear, Baby Hurd

I am officially 5 weeks and 4 days pregnant, and you are the size of an apple seed. Your daddy and I found out about you when I was 4 weeks and 5 days pregnant. You truly have been an amazing blessing within our lives already.Your life is already being celebrated! I have my very first doctor appointment on this coming Monday to find out more about you and the health of my body.

Just allow me to be me! No, as a matter of fact, I'm going to be me regardless. To be honest it took growth for me to even be able to say that second sentence with self-validation! I understand that being a BLACK an unapologetic woman in America could be so painful. Every day in America there is a BLACK woman no matter her age could be, fighting to live her dreams.

Dreams that could and shall pave the way for other BLACK women to be bold and persistent with their growth. I have not always been confident in being a BLACK woman. And here is my story and advice for other women... 

I thought that I would just open up and tell you that I am getting dentures in my 20's. At first, I thought that talking about my dental health would just be just as embarrassing as the thought of it. 

However, talking about it makes me feel way more comfortable than the thought of it. If you do not know me at all allow me to introduce myself. My name is Linda Hurd. I am 24 years old and I am a sugar addict. I love sweets and I have just started to learn more about the true importance of taking care of my dental health. This year I will be getting at least five-seven teeth surgically extracted from my mouth. The teeth that I will be getting extracted are mainly in towards the back, sides, upper half, and lower half of my mouth.
