Entry 5: Fresh but not Really

Hey guys this week I was asked by my ENG101 teacher to watch a film called Fresh then write about my thoughts on it. This film was about how farmers are trying to reinvent their crops and do it the best way possible without getting everyone sick. After watching this film, I honestly don't know how to feel about meats and natural foods. There were so many things that could go wrong like food contamination, pollution due to the different fertilizers they use on the crops, and many different diseases you can catch if the animals don't have proper care. Everyone who eats meats or natural foods should care and watch this because you are finding out how they care for these animals and plants.The part that really disturbed me was how the killed the chickens, took them apart, and got them ready to be sold in the stores. This part disturbed me because it was no sanitation within the whole process if I knew this before hand I would of never eaten chicken. Another scene that really had me in amazement was how they just threw the chicks out of the bin on the ground. I didn't really like that because it seemed as if they didn't care if they were hurt or not. Overall this film was very informational regarding our produce and meats. Watch this film all the way through and see if you still want to pick up a chicken wing.

Entry 4 : Motherhood and His Developments

Hey guys this week its all about JJ(Justin Jr).
 JJ is my now 11 month old baby boy. Within this whole 11 months, Motherhood has been great. He laughs, crawls, walks, and lets not forget babble. JJ has the cutest dimples that makes it so hard to say no. Slowly he's starting to grow into his own personality. If someone would have told me a year ago I would be a mother I would have said
"No way! Babies are totally out of my vocabulary"
Motherhood at first was very hard because I knew nothing about taking care of babies. During the pregnancy phase with JJ it was very easy because all I really did was get pampered and spoiled ,sleep, and eat lots of potatoes. I had no energy due to my body making another human being in which he was very active even inside the womb. I was in labor for 16 hours and JJ was born April 9, 2016 at 11:47 am and he weighed 8 lbs and 3 oz , his height was 20 in.25( very long I know😉). JJ for the most part was a very chilled newborn. He cried only when he was hungry, wet, and sleepy. He was holding his own bottle at 3 months. At 5 months he was able to sit up on his own with help from the boppy body pillow. At 8 months he learned how to crawl and say "Mama" and "Dada". At 10 months , JJ is walking and eating table food. JJ mimics everything I do, and lets not mention he follows me everywhere through the house. Its bittersweet to know in less than a month JJ will be starting Chapter 1 of his life. I have no favorite part of motherhood, All moments are camera ready moments but I love the person I am becoming due to motherhood. Don't get me wrong motherhood comes with its challenges but its worth every bit of emotion. Just a little update in my world of motherhood..that's all for now logging off my motherly duties are awaiting.
