Birthday Outfit...Need Help.

Now that Mia's party is officially close 37 days away I need help in choosing an outfit. I already got Mia's outfit..Check it out!

Isn't it so cute!! I just cannot wait to see my princess in it.


But now for my outfit, I want to be cute and yet comfortable due to it being a kids party and I want to enjoy it with my princess.
Check out my options:

1. Romper- I have been going on a mission looking for a romper that looks good on me. I found this one that I like and I think it'll be comfortable and so cute with a pair of sandals or wedges.


2.Maxi dress- I love wearing maxi dresses. They are so cute and comfortable.


3. dress- cute but I feel as if I will be limited to jumping and playing with my princess but I do love this dress.


So tell me what you think? Please I need some opinions.

Back from Hiatus...

Hello my darling blog followers,

I AM BACK!! I know I disappeared for quite a while but I have resurrected from my Mia-filled, chaotic, drama-filled yet loving every single minute of it life. Let me start off by saying Mia is doing great..Better than great she is amazing. This little girl fills me up with such love, happiness and zest for life. She is 10 1/2 months. She is currently 21 pounds and 27 1/4 inches long. She loves to cuddle with mommy and gives me the best kisses. She is a character that makes mommy laugh. And just today, she started walking. She let go and took about 5 precious, tiny, sure steps on her own towards grandmom. And in that moment I don't know who felt more pride-me or Mia. It was beautiful to see my little princess grinning ear to ear. Time is simply flying by too quickly.
I am currently planning a birthday extravaganza for my princess. It will be at Cool-De-Sac. The coolest little place for kids. Doesn't this place looks amazing..






I am so excited for the party.... just to celebrate with family and friends the beautiful blessing God gave me. I will keep you updated on the party.

I am going to leave you with some recent photos of Mia...






Hasnt she gotten so big?!?!?!

What a Deal..

3 Months

You are the best thing, that's ever been mine."
~Taylor Swift

Dear Mia,

Three months. Over 13 weeks. And well on our way to 100 days. Or, as someone pointed out today, a quarter of a year (to which Mommy immediately welled up with tears because her baby cannot be that grown up already!). You are already turning into such a little lady and now that you are really up for playing and discovering everything, the world is now opening up in so many delightful & exciting ways. You just discovered how to reach, hold and play with your toys. You coo more now, and I love hearing that sweet baby voice. I received the honor of your first peals of laughter one afternoon that I will remember forever now cause I made you laugh. I am so thrilled with your sweet smile, so rare & reserved strictly for those that you love. You are such a funny girl – the other day, Mommy was making funny faces and you were trying to imitate me. Tenacious almost to a fault, you love the outside but hate the sun in your eyes, full of joy, a complete attention monger, yet set in your ways…you are the best & worst of Daddy & I combined, but somehow in you it becomes perfection.

Just today, I started storing all of your newborn and 0-3 clothes into boxes and it made me cry cause you are growing up so fast. It is definitely true what they say about enjoying you now cause pretty soon you will be all grown up or in that teenager phase which I am dreading so much to have to go through. The other day I put you in a jumperoo/exersaucer toy and while you still couldnt really enjoy it I just stood there staring and I was almost in tears. I couldnt believe that the little 7 lb 2 ozs baby girl that I bought home from the hospital is already old enough for that. Pretty soon you will be rolling over (I see you already trying..You just got to learn to move the legs alittle more and you are there) then crawling and walking which I'm sure you will drive mommy crazy by getting into everything. So listen up, Mia, take your time and enjoy mommy doting over you.

I'm looking at you now, snuggled in your pink giraffe pajamas under a blanket, and knowing that I would willingly give my life for you in any situation. I feel this raw fire, down into the pit of my stomach, that knows I would & could do anything to keep you safe. I would gladly take any pain that you will ever feel, just so you never know how to hurt. I want to make this world perfect for you, just so you ever never know rejection, loss, or tears. But more than anything, I wish for you to be happy. In whatever you do, in whoever you become. I want you to be happy. And to always know that no matter what you do, I will always love you with the same protective, unconditional love that I felt the moment I first saw you.

I love you, Mia. In a way that I will never be able to fully explain but I pray you always know!!!

Love,
Mommy

Happy 3 months!!

My Road..

Not many people know the road I have taken to get where I am. I have chosen to withhold alot of my past to people so I wont feel judged...I mean who likes to feel talked about or hated. Now I should've done this when I started the blog but hey its my blog and I will do what I want..LOL. Now here goes:
My name is Shalamar Baez. I am 27 years old. I was born in Caguas, Puerto Rico. My parents are Lucy and Victor Baez. My dad was murdered when I was still a baby but I still forever keep him in my heart and I know he is watching over me, my sister, and now Mia. My mom is the best woman I know..She is my hero and who I aim to be. She had 3 kids by the time she was 21 years old and still became something of herself. She is so strong, smart and always there for me whether she agrees with my decisions or not (which most of the time she doesn't). I have 2 amazing sisters who have become like my best friends..the people who I go to for advice and fun. I adore them dearly. My stepdad Angel is an angel (which fits cause his name is Angel). He took me and my sister like we were his own kids with no questions asked (which man does that nowadays..VERY FEW!) He has been there for all of us and continues to be there. I have an amazing grandmother and great-grandmother who are so full of wisdom and I can't wait for Mia to meet them. They definitely cannot wait to meet her.
Now I used to live in Philadelphia but moved down to Miami when I was 10 years old cause my stepdad wanted to move down here to be with his family. So basically my mom uprooted us and left her family to be down here. One day, god willing, we will move back up to the place we call our home and where our family is at. But as for now, Miami is my home.
Now many things happened when I moved down to Miami. I guess its definitely true what they say when you move to Miami. You are forced to grow up cause everything here is so fast-paced. Hell, I didnt even know about drugs or sex but once I came to Miami and went to school, my innocent world changed. Now, hey, I know I shouldn't blame Miami cause I made my own decisions but people see it when they move down here from anywhere.
So lets fast forward alittle. I was never a really good student. I skipped class and hung out with the bad crowd. I was always trying to fit in which that became my downfall. I started to drink, experiment with drugs, have sex, lie to my parents, steal from everyone, etc. All in all, this was my life for a long time. I did straighten up long enough to go to the Army but that didnt work out. So I came back home and started right back where I left off. It was a vicious cycle of me doing whatever I wanted and screw you, if you thought anything of it. I didn't care cause I was having fun. In the end, my end caught up with me. My parents kicked me out and I had nowhere to go. So I came back crawling on my hands and knees to my parents and I told them I was on cocaine and I needed help. So they put me in rehab. Yup, in rehab. And what you see in the movies or shows of this nice place called rehab is not what it is. It was bad. It scared the crap out of me that I never wanted to do drugs ever again. And thank god, since 2007, I haven't touched any drug whatsoever. Have I drank? Yes. But my drinking was never the problem.
I came back home from rehab to my parents house and things were different. Of course, my parents didn't trust me. I mean who would. But I started to do better and moved out on my own. Eventually I, even, got myself a job at a hospital and I was studying in school to be a nurse. But with that little taste of freedom I got carried away and started going crazy again. I dont know what it is but I was going back down the same road I was before. I didn't do drugs but I was out partying and just being stupid. I got pregnant but ended up losing the baby. I was stealing from the very people who have been there with me from the beginning. I lost my best friend from middle school because I stole from him. I, pretty much, lost everything and moved back in with my parents. But they were not having it this time. And then I found love. I ended up with a guy who I never thought was anything but he ended up being my everything. His name is Oscar. I loved him so much and I thought I would spend the rest of my life with him. I ended up getting pregnant and decided to keep the baby. Many people think I tried to get pregnant or knew I was pregnant and didnt tell anyone but its not true. It was a surprise to me as much as anyone else. Then the problems started for him and I. He just couldnt deal with the baby and the thought of having to grow up. He cheated. And I took it. But then came my princess Mia Nicole Baez on June 21, 2010. My world forever changed. I wanted everything to be perfect for her so I knew that this relationahip I was in wasn't going to work out. She deserved so much better than what we could offer her together so we broke it off. She made me want to be a better person for her. She is my heart, entire world, universe, all caught up in one. I mean I never knew this kind of love for someone. So I am going to become the best for her. Yes, my past as bad as it has been has gotten me to where I am and I don't regret it at all cause regretting it is not going to do anything. It is all lessons learned. And when Mia gets old enough, I will not lie to her about any of it. I will tell her everything and hopefully she learns from mommy's past and doesnt repeat her mistakes. But even if she does, she knows I will be there through it all picking her up from her falls and telling her I love you.
I know my past is not a happy one but it is what it is. I am here striving to be a better person. And all I can hope is my family, friends, and my princess will be here when it is all said and done. The only person I have to answer to is God and when I die I will come before him and be judged for it all.
So this is all for now...I have to go back to my princess who just woke up from her morning nap. Oh, how I love that little girl!!! =)But I guess you can say my actions don't express that cause I lied to him and screwed him over. But he still remained by my side through it all and still is here. I ended up getting pregnant and decided to keep the baby. Many people think I tried to get pregnant or knew I was pregnant and didnt tell anyone but its not true. It was a surprise to me as much as anyone else. But who would believe me after all the lies I told. So here came my princess Mia Nicole Baez on June 21, 2010. My world changed. I want to be a better person for her. She is my heart, entire world, universe, everything. I mean I never knew this kind of love for someone. And she deserves the best. So I am going to become the best for her. Yes, my past as bad as it has been has gotten me to where I am and I don't regret it at all cause regretting it is not going to do anything. It is all lessons learned. And when Mia gets old enough, I will not lie to her about any of it. I will tell her everything and hopefully she learns from mommy's past and doesnt repeat her mistakes. But even if she does, she knows I will be there through it all picking her up from her falls and telling her I love you.

So this is all for now...I have to go back to my princess who just woke up from her morning nap. Oh, how I love that little girl!!! =)

Its Time For Shots!!

Nooooooo not those type of shots.. =P Mia got her vaccinations!!
This week was the day that Mia and I feared! VACCINATIONS DAY! She was suppose to get them a couple of weeks ago but we ended up having to reschedule, so finally the big day was here! I was nervous for her, but I tried to remain calm and not give out any bad energy. I think I did a pretty good job! As for Mia, believe it or not the first shot she was smiling and cooing..She didnt even notice it. But then the 2nd and 3rd shot she did a complete 180. She went from grinning ear to ear to crying bloody murder. I dreaded to hear her cry the cry that starts off with her face turning bright red, her mouth wide open but no sound coming out until a few seconds after she catches her breath. My poor princess was in pain and all I wanted to do was take away her pain. But after a few minutes she calmed down, I fed her and she went to sleep. At least at the end she had 2 tweety bird band-aids to show how tough she was.

10 Week Stats:

•weight- 13lbs
•length-22 1/3 inches
•head circumference-40 cm (wow what a big head)

Now here are a couple of pics from her appt..

She made a friend while waiting in the waiting room. They were so cute together touching each other..


Staring at her new friend Rachel...


Sleeping while waiting for the doctor (If she only knew what was going to happen)


And finally her poor thighs with her 2 tweety bird bandaids =(
