September

Life has been a little hectic lately Kaia started her first day

of kindergarten ,Yes, I cried a little but the tears just kept flowing



Kaia's first day!



School has also started for Corey and I.  All my professors are great . I'm also  taking a step class which has me incredibly sore but I love the baby weight will be gone in no time

We are also moving into our new place October first. I'm so excited that we are finally back to just us we have been welcoming family into our home for the last to years while I'm grateful to be able to help them I'm happy to get back to us I miss cooking

Corey is in Texas for three weeks for airforce training and I temporarily moved in with my mother in law for the help with the girls . I miss him sooo much this has been the longest we have been away from  each other and it is  harder because we cant talk just text .

Kaitlyn is 2 1/2 months

Kacey is 15 months

August -The month of Fun

To start the month off I got a new look . I didn't realize how blind I was until I received my glasses (I can see clearly now)

It was also my favorite future sister in law b-day  at medievil times

Our anniversary came along Yaaaaay Two years with my amazing Hubby. He had to work the weekend so we celebrated on friday. It was his year to choose the plans so we went to Bistro Romano in philly and had a dinner plus comedy mystery show it was great . The next night since we were away for the weekend we went to the oh so amazing carrabba's

I finally got a vacation to Miami with my girlfriends Tina and Delilah .It was soo much fun: Sleeping ,Eating , Swimming and partying what a life.

 

 

Overall this was an AMAZING month.  The chaos begins........

 

Overwhelmed

I went to the school nurse today and she realeases a startling revelation I'm stressed (Noooo) . As the semester is coming to a close and I feel like crying with everything that has to be done in the upcoming weeks  

She said in her opinion I went back to school too soon after giving birth in which ,I agree.Her reasoning was something I never thought of not only do I need to recover physically I need to recover mentally because my mental health is just as or maybe even more important .

I  just recently talked to my husband about my feelings not knowing why I haven't talked to him sooner . He gave me the all so comforting words it will be okay .It made me feel so much better as he said I will take the baby tonight .

With school, the possible move three girls, sick grandparent, parents, anniversary and vacation, Yes even the vacation is stressful Im going crazy.

Makes me look even more forward to my vacation NO kids No husband just a break

And FUN

Weight loss

I joined a gym today because it was close to school and since I'm taking summer classes I can go right afterwards. It  was the a very sponteneous purchase. I have made many of these types of purchases but is this a good one is there a such thing? My anniversary is  three weeks away I'm actually focused on losing weight and looking marvelous for that date and oh yeah I'm going to miami in 4weeks so maybe that plays a part also:)

I mostly want to loose the tummy I know I had a baby 6 weeks ago but I'm ready for it to go away

 I want to go from this

  

To This (or close)

So to help with my weight I switch my skipping breakfast with Total which also helps with my vitamins and minerals .Tuna for lunch and dinner is usually up in the air but i usually come in under 1600 calories I want to cut down on sugar but I am literally a sweet tooth  we will see how i will look on my anniversary I will post before and after pics then

My Princess is 5

To celebrate Kaia B-day
Kaia Rose Jale'el Garrett Born 7/19/2005   7lbs 10 ozs

Mommy loves you so much

You the first girl the example to your sisters and me. I'm happy that you are in my life .Your kindess and sincerity makes me proud that you are my princess.Your smile,laugh and loving nature touches my heart in a way that is unexplainable.

My Days and Nights

Since the baby has been here Corey has been a great husband and helper and he gives me alot of me time from the kids.After being pregnant for 18 months I need it .Since we both started school I have baby duty two nights in a row. For some mothers thats natural to wake up at all hours in the morning and take care of your child but the sleeplessness from breast feeding is driving me crazy .I thinkmy biggest worry is Kaitlyn seems like she's not getting enough food so she seems to eat off me all night.
The schedule goes like this
7am- Corey wakes up and get ready for school
7:30-Kaitlyn wakes up eats
8-kacey &kaia wake up
10:30-Kaitlyn goes back to sleep
-Feed kids
-Eat myself
11:20 corey get home
12pm -kaitlyn wakes up  eats
I- take a nap
150pm -Corey leaves for school again
-Kaityn wakes up eats
-Clean up
5pm Corey comes home I leave for school
-Kaitlyn goes to sleep
9pm I get home
11pm Kaitlyn wakes up and eats just about every other hour until 6am

Update

Now that The crazy months are over I can start my blog again. The kids are so happy that they have a new sister they can't stop looking at her especially Kacey  she kinda knows the baby is not in my tummy anymore and gets a kick when the baby cries she is starting to be such a big girl

Kaia is starting public school in the fall I can't believe it I'm tearing up as I write she is going to kindergarten where did the time go????  When she went to the doctor she was told she was  pretty tall so that translated to her she is the really big girl so cute (dancing)

Corey and I are keeping busy with school and THREE girls I cant believe it

we get about one week off in July and one week off in August we are planning on getting sealed in the temple in August.hopefully on the 21st the day of our anniversary. I'm excited we are planning on doing it at the Washington d.c temple where we first start talking to each other so its very sentimental for us

Isn't it beautiful

Baby Story

    On June 22 at 7:45am Kaitlyn Mae Wimberley was born

I had an scheduled appointment for an induction at 8am on Tuesday ,June 22  since we live an hour away from the hospital we were planning on waking up at 6am  and actually on the road by 630 but Kaitlyn had other plans .

I woke up at 5:00am and had to go to the bathroom I was so upset because I didn't want to get out of bed so I got up walk down the stairs to the first floor to the bathroom

I got back in bed at 5:30 I got a strong contraction and thought I was dreaming so I ignored it then 5 minutes later I got another one and after that is was every three minutes

That put a jump start to things got Kacey dressed ,picked up my mother in law and headed to the hospital  we got to the hospital at 7:16am  I walked in having contractions about a minute apart when i got in the bed I was 7cm dilated and within 10 minutes I was at a full 10cm

I started pushing at 7:25 and then at 7:45 Kaitlyn was finally here after a very long nine months  and some very painful pushing  I got what I wanted NO induction NO pain relievers and my delayed cord clamping

I was so happy and relieved

She was 8lbs 3ozs 21in long

Staying

Since deciding to stay in New Jersey we are  looking for  an apartment . We are not commited to anytown or place but we would love to stay in the area we are in  for one I LOVE THE WARD and the schools are great for kaia but since we share the house we have to wait for them to move and the lease is up in september(but there is a clause if we can find renters we can move) but I want to go now!!!!!  I can't wait  to be on my own again no noise just us i miss it so much .So on that note anyone want to rent a four bedroom house 2 baths and central air  for 1680 a month in North Brunswick ,NJ?

Summer Classes

I have enrolled for summer classes this semester and i received financial aid for it but the rate this baby is twistind and turning not sure if i can drag my pregnant self out of bed  Monday -Thursday 9-12 from May 17 to June 10  and the baby is due on   June 19th 

I would much rather be at a beach waiting for contractions to start instead of in class

Baby Pleeease!!!

My baby belly at 26 weeks it feels like 36

I think this baby wants to come out now compared to other pregnancies(I know cant compare kids)this child moves much more and decides she  wants to torture me and times by moving sooo much I can't sleep it's bad enough I have insominia but this too.

 I had a doctors appt today and drunk the orange stuff to test my glucose which made me nauseous I couldn't  brush my teeth before i drunk it or I wouldn't have  vomitted and if i waited after I would have vomitted.

When I arrived at the doctor I had to lay down the whole time even in the waiting area.I'm down to 3 weeks for appt. time yaaaaay this is the best part when you see the doctor more and more you know it's almost time . the first thing he said was you don't do pregnancy well I have to agree, but there is just something about when these horrible 9 months are over and you see the newborns face that just make you want to do it all over again (of course with a five year break after this one ).

Finally, I decided to make a birthplan and stick to it even though the last two pregnancies went without any epidural I still had an intravenous pain med and this time I want nothing  yes ALL NATURALI didn't like the sleepiness after the baby come out  due to the meds.I also have decided not to get induced which seems to bring on more pain and since I will be in school fairly close to my due date hopefully the activity off walking to class with help make it go along easier. I have decided to delay cord-clamping I have read some studies of how at least one minute of delaying the cord clamping can improve a baby overall health. I know that sometimes things are out of my control and mother nature does what she wants but hopefully my plan will come to pass

Minications are great !!!!!

I love minications the weather couldn't get any better 

. Atlantic City outlet stores are the greatest and the ceaser's hotel rooms are fantastic.

 The bathroom mirror which is sooo cool and i just feel in love with the bathroom the one in my dreamhouse will be designed after it.

I think this has been a great break from it all now back to reality ,interviews and test.

Ramblings

So this is midterm week not as stressful as last semester but I guess the hormones intensify the effect . I have to get a hep B shot for school by september and its a six month series so I would need it now but no one in the world seems to have it but the school nurse which cost 125  and after  getting an appointment I couldn't get the shot because I had no letter from my doctor stating i can urghhh  so a longer wait .
 Sometimes I think the doctor is off by months with this pregnancy because it really feels like this kid is just going to jump out and start walking . I'm debating on a summer 1 course which last 5/17-6/10 and the baby is due 6/19  I know its playing with fire but i just want to finish so badly.

Kaia is still halfway potty trained I have a strong dislike for pampers and  pullups I just want the next kid to come out potty trained.

To end on a good note Corey and his brother went camping and before he left he got me my two most favorite things right now

Plantains and my fav ice cream

I have the best hubby ever

Christmas Birthday and other happenings

Since school was over I have  been loving our vacation. We spent so much time together and we also got to sleep late almost everyday and I was off work the week of christmas and my birthday so it was great.

Kacey is now crawling everywhere and has her two teeth  so she think she can eat everything she gets her hands on .

Kaia  seems to be getting smarter and smarter and I'm starting to get a little sarcastic side from her but I guess she gets that from me mostly she also loves to be he center of attention  lol

Kaia and Kacey have been getting really close since I decided to keep kaia home and not pay for daycare anymore I believe I can do a great job(hopefully)

   I Love   My   Girls    




And then there is baby number three who will be here in 20 weeks my pregnancy has me very emotional  and since hubby does not want to know the sex of the baby I have to keep the biggest secret of my life (from him at least hehe)
