Baby Shower for Baby Johnson


This is a picture of me and my best friend Camellia at my baby shower back in September. Thanks to everyone for your love and support! It was fun and I got to see a lot of people I hadn't see in a while.

One present that I got at the baby shower was from my sister Bekah. She's an amazing poet and writer...soon to be published author! I don't doubt her ability to get her book published when she is finished with it. Anyway, I wanted to post what she wrote for me. I am so excited for our baby boy to come soon!

To My Darling, Impregnated Sister:

In your eyes I see the characteristic sparkle of a mother-to-be.

Your smiles, your laughs,

The subconscious way you rest your hand, and your keys, and your phone,

On your belly.

He’s a part of you, that little boy,

And he will always be.

I’m excited to see him,

To watch him smile and laugh,

And call you Mommy,

To see him stick his grubby hands, and his toys, and his trash,

In your hand.

You glow, and it’s because you know,

That your life will never be the same.

It will be happier, fuller, richer.

Congratulations, Angela!!!
