I Finally Resigned From My Job

in , , , by Linda B Hurd, September 17, 2017


I resigned from my job as a bank teller officially on Friday, September 15th, 2017. That entire day I had so many mixed emotions and yes, many of my mixed emotions came from my pregnancy hormones that I have been trying to keep at bay. Those mixed emotions were happiness, uneasiness, anxiousness, and sadness. I found excitement within doing my makeup and getting ready for what was truly going to be my last day on my job. Of course, if you have been an avid reader of mines for some time now you would know that I truly disliked my job with a passion around this same time last year. 




When I found out I was pregnant in the month of February and just days before Mardi Gras I was in shock. Immediately my husband was saying all throughout our one-bedroom apartment, “I knew it! I knew it.” 

All while I was simply standing in our bathroom mirror holding up the pregnancy test constantly saying, “Oh my God.” I was in shock! Well, I knew that the possibility of me finally getting pregnant was going to happen eventually. 

My hubby and I were very much bedroom lovers and excited to keep trying new things. Moving along from that topic, I just did not think that we were going to end up becoming expecting parents for this year. 


The Prayers Of A Praying Mother

in , , , by Linda B Hurd, September 11, 2017


I took a well needed and deserved trip back home this past Sunday. My hubby and I enjoyed our time on the road just as much as our overall time spent with family. It has been well-over two years since I have revisited my immediate family and my home town. People sometimes ask me what keeps me away for so long before returning? My answer to them would be pain. The pain that I decided to keep within the past to move forward. The pain that hindered me from believing that I had a true purpose in this life to fulfill. The pain that so many people caused me.




Dear Baby Eli, 

I am now 31 weeks and 4 days pregnant with you. You are now about 16 inches long and possibly almost 4 pounds. So far, I have been remaining prayed up and loving every moment we share together. Just last week we had our very first maternity photo shoot! You gave me a very special glow that truly shown on our photos. Let me tell you son, you were kicking up a storm whenever I was wearing a bright red ballroom gown type tutu. I kept poking you back to let you know that I know you love being in front of the camera as much as mama do.
