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
