About Me

Demetrius and I were married in June of 2000. Our love grows stronger every day. We are the perfect match and definitely soulmates. After several years of trying and with many prayers from ourselves and our family and friends, our hope for becoming parents became reality. God blessed us with the most beautiful miracle, our son,Jonah Sunil Rhodes. And here's our happily ever after...

6 months down, 3 to go!!!!

This week is a milestone...I'm 6 months pregnant!!! I can hardly believe I've come that far. In fact, I'm still getting used to this whole pregnancy thing. Every day is something new, some new emotion, some new feeling, some new experience. I do feel a whole lot better than my earlier months but unfortunately I'm not going to be one of those women that brag about how great their pregnancy was. Now that I do know that there seems to be a healthy little boy growing inside of me, all the episodes of nausea, growing pains, and uncontrolled anxiety seem worth it at the end of the day. I'm already just so proud of my little Jonah, who didn't get swallowed by a whale but is instead safely in "Beaula Aunty's stomach" as so eloquently put by Radha. Besides all the gripes I might have about being pregnant, the great part about it is it feels like your birthday every day!! Every one I know just gushes over me and makes me feel special whenever they see me...and even though I know it's only because of this precious cargo I'm toting around, I love it anyway. My shower is scheduled just a few weeks away and our happy news has probably reached many by now. So although I can't wait to meet my little boy, I'm going to try and enjoy these last few months...I know I'll never be able to duplicate this feeling in the future, no matter how big of a meal I might eat!!!!! See you soon, Jonah baby!!!

A New Day Has Come



A New Day Has Come by Celine Dion

I've was waiting for so long
for a miracle to come.
Everyone told me to be strong,
"hold on and don't shed a tear".

Through the darkness and goodtimes,
I knew I'd make it through.
And the world thought I had it all...
but I was waiting for you.

Hush now...I see the light in the sky.
Oh, it's almost blinding me.
I can't believe I've been
touched by an angel with love.

Let the rain come down and wash away my tears.
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears.
Let it shatter the walls for a new son,
a new day has come.

Where it was dark, there's light.
Where there was pain, there is joy.
Where there was weakness, I found my strength
all in the eyes of a boy.
