Pretty Bird, Pretty Bird, Niala's Song
This morning I sang to Niala and she responded. She's currently in the kicking stage. Sometimes that can be so uncomfortable but she is life waiting to evolve. Giving life is a beautiful thing. As a mother it's even more precious since we witness the entire process. The growing and the learning years. Sometimes I wonder who would Niala resemble.. Would she have my silly pointed nose? Or Malik's beautiful brown eyes? Would she inherit my temper. What puzzles me the most is would Niala accept me, love me and be proud that I am her mother. Modern television has this image of today's Mother/Daughter relationships. Mothers appear to be too dorky (Roddie's favorite work) overly condescending. I don't want to be like that. I want to be there for her when ever she needs me to be. I'm not going to pretend to be her best friend and have one of those too close relationships because they don't work all the time. I just want to be the best damn Mother I could ever be to my daughter. Loving & providing for her one day at a time.

Awww, I love those damn sonograms. I can see her... that blows me away every time. Congrats Bonita!
What song did you sing to her?
Mother/daughter relationships will evolve however they may, but I know I did not become 'friends' with my mother until I became an adult. She had too much mothering and protecting and teaching and molding to do with me before she could be my ‘friend’.
You'll find your way and that will be a beautiful thing.
This is beautiful, you can already see she's gonna be one awesome lil girl. what did you sing? Are you gonna teach her Spanish from birth. It doesn't matter who's eyes, ears, or nose she'll have, with you and Malik as parents that child don't have a chance but to be gorgeous. Thank you for sharing this, I needed so see some life today.
Pretty Bird, Pretty bird,
don't fly away.
Can I sing you a song,
Come what may.
Niala's waiting inside
She got someting to say
Wait for her in the window
She'll be here one day.
Whenever Niala kicks I rub that area of my belly while singing her song.....and yes Icy, Niala will be bilingual just like her big brother...Bonita
Damn girl, you gonna make me cry NOW?
You are just too beautiful for words.
Congrats and lemme know when you have your shower so I can start spoiling Niala early.
Did I ever tell you how much I love that name?
I don't know another soul with that name.
Niala is beautiful and a beautiful name. Mothering daughters is very different from being your sons mother however the wonderful relationship I share with my mom and the one she has with her mom brings hope that one day I will share a beautiful friendship with each of my daughters once they become adults
