3 MONTHS ALREADY?!

I can't believe my baby girl is going to be 3 months on September 30th! This is insane! I am really sad because I guess this means she is officially not a newborn :-( She just started growing out of most of her newborn clothes last week. She can still wear most of them, but some of them not so much. She is now mostly in the 0-3 months clothes. Isn't she just precious!

As of now she is baby talking like crazy! She has been since she was 4 or 5 weeks old, but now it is louder & she does it in response of us talking to her. She also tries really, really hard to mimic what we do with our mouths which is fun to watch, she is actually pretty good. Tummy time is going great, she holds her head up pretty good now, still has a ways to go though of course. She is also still breast feeding (is that TMI?) & my goal was to make it to 6 months so we will see how that goes.

I still can't believe that 12 weeks ago, this little girl was in my belly...it just amazes me! I love her so much & so does her Daddy! We are very, very blessed with this little angel in our lives!

HAPPY 3 YEAR ANNIVERSARY

On August 25th 2010, marked 3 years that Joe & I vowed to spend the rest of our lives together :-) It was actually the first anniversary he had been home for! Our 1st one he was deployed, but came home 2 weeks later so we stayed at Disneyland for the weekend. The 2nd one he was deployed & came home a month later & this one he was actually home for! So on Friday, Gammy & Bumpa (my parents) babysat Miss Kiana while we had a lovely little date night! We went to dinner to one of our favorite restaraunts Lucille's, which was amazing! We had fun talking about the old times & what we thought when we first met & first started dating...lots of fun! Then we went to the movies & saw 'The Expendables' which was really good actually. Then we went home & picked up our little angel that we missed sooooo much. It wasn't anything grand or exciting, but it was a lot of fun & it was nice actually being together for our anniversary! Here is to a million more to celebrate together :-) I love you Joe!

Loving The Mommy Life :-)

I am so in love with my daughter! I can't get enough of her! Just looking at her makes me so happy! She is seriously the most beautiful thing I have ever laid my eyes on! Every day she does something new to make me smile & laugh. I love watching her grow, but at the same time I wish I could stop time & she can just stay 7 weeks old. Its bitter sweet watching her grow. You just want her to stay little forever, but its amazing that she is so healthy & growing so well. She already makes me so proud!

Luckily get 6 more weeks off paid so by the time that is up she will be 3 months old. I still won't be ok leaving her, but I have to go make money for her. LOL! But I am in school & I finally got in the Human Anatomy 101 class I needed, so I'm leaving her 2 days a week with my Dad for the 4 hours I'm in class. I cry every time I drop her off. I know she is in great hands, but I just hate leaving her. In class I look at her pictures & just miss her. I call my Dad every time we have a break to make sure she is ok & she always is of course because she is a perfect baby.

I'm so happy Kiana is all mine! I can't imagine this life without her now & I even wonder how did I ever live without her before?! I didn't even know what happiness was til she came in my life! I can tell Joe feels the same way! He works really, really long & hard hours on the ship & its not a really fun job. He'll call me to let me know he is on his way home & I can tell he is in a bad mood. But as soon as he walks in & sees this gorgeous face of hers, he melts & he is instantly happy.

The both of us also don't worry about the small stuff anymore. We aren't concerned with having the best of the best or going out every weekend or seeing every movie that comes out. We are just happy to be spending our time with our little family. She is just everything to us & I can't thank God enough for bringing her in our lives.

FINALLY! I SAW ECLIPSE!

So last Sunday I was brave enough to leave Kiana for about 2 hours to go see ECLIPSE with my Mom. Holy crap it was freaking AMAZING! I loved the book so I expected great things for the movie & it did not disappoint! Of course I was just so happy because I freaking loooove Taylor Lautner/Jacob Black. (But I thought there could have been some more shirtless scenes with him...but thats just me) I think the movie was great! Of course the books are still better, but the movie was awesome. 

I was also proud of myself for leaving Kiana. Joe had duty so she stayed with my Dad & brother & she did great. She was only fussy for a little bit they said but then they calmed her down. I better get used to leaving her because I will be back at work soon but its too hard. I get sick to my stomach just thinking about it!

UGH! TIME TO VENT!

I just need to vent my anger over a few things about today!

1. THE STUPID NAVY SHIP MY HUSBAND IS ON! That ship is having these sailors come home sooo late! Some of them live in San Diego by the base so they aren't getting home as late as the rest of them who live an hour or 2 away from the base (like us). Joe hasn't been getting home til about 8:00pm at night everyday! Its so sad because he just walks in, showers, eats, spends a bit of time with Kiana before she goes to bed & then he is in bed by 9:30pm because he has to leave the house by 4:30am or earlier. This is insane! Then this past weekend he had duty (24 hour shift, every sailor does it every 8 days) & then he had to work another 10 hour day on Sunday, then a 14 hour day on Monday. Now he is underway & he didn't even get to come home last night & they weren't leaving til tonight! But they changed that & I had to bring clothes to him! So now he either won't be home til Saturday night, but he'd stay there anyways because he has duty Sunday, or the ship won't get in til Monday! I am just so mad! I know how hard he works & I'm just pissed that he isn't getting any time with his new daughter. Poor guy!

2. THE STUPID TIME WARNER CABLE COMPANY! Now I have cancelled with Time Warner last month after I paid that month's bill. We got a way better deal with Verizon & Time Warner had increased our monthly bill from $100 a month to just about $200 & could never explain why! So I cancelled them, returned the equipment & was done right. Wrong. They then send me a $400 bill! So I call them explained what I just told you & they said, "Oh no problem. We will fix this. Now you don't owe anything." Great. Now I have another $400 bill in the mail! I have to call them AGAIN & if they send me another bill after this phone call I'm going to do some serious ass whooping!

3. MY STUPID PETS! Molly is making my allergies act up which is so weird because I have never had a problem with her. But thats not why I'm mad at her, she keeps rubbing up on the computer & my hands while I am typing. Then she keeps attacking the bedroom door where Kiana is asleep so she can go scratch her bed! Ugh! Then Roxy is just barking & barking for no freaking reason at all! Freaking animals need to chill the hell out!

4. THE STUPID UNKNOWN SMELL IN MY HOUSE! I don't know where this stink is coming from! I have tried following it everywhere but there is no source! It smells like mildew but I can't find it! The last time we had this smell it was some food Joe left in the fridge but its not coming from the fridge. So my house stinks & I can't fix it or find it where its at!

5. THE STUPID BEST BUY SALES DOUCHER! They told me the Mac could not use Microsoft Word so they had me buy this super expensive program that is cool but no one has the technology to support the documents when sent to them (like I'm trying to upload & e-mail my resume out to companies). So I just wasted like $80 on this damn thing.

Lord, please make this day get better!

KIANA = 1 MONTH

I can't believe my Baby Girl is now 1 month old (July 30th)!

The time has seriously flown by! I know she is only a month, but that is super old to me at this point! She is starting to focus on people really good now & she is now smiling! Its gets more & more everyday! She is also trying really hard to lift her head up a lot. She is super social & likes to be sitting up whenever she is awake.

For the most part, she is kind of on a schedule. We have only had a hand full of "bad" days where she was just fussy & not going according to her schedule. But nothing we haven't been able to handle.

She is still breast feeding. I am hoping I can do it for a couple of months. I'm scared when I go back to work it will slowly lessen & I won't be able to anymore. I know it might be weird but I will be sad when I can't anymore. That is our own personal time together & its kind of neat knowing that I'm the only one who is able to feed her. It sounds a bit selfish but I'm just being honest.

I can't get over how much I fall more & more in love with this precious angel every day! Every day she is just making me smile & laugh & happy. I dread going back to work. I don't want to leave her. But Mama has to help Pappi pay the bills. I'm hoping we'll just win the lotto & then I can stay home with her all the time!

ECLIPSE!!!!

I bet you think I'm about to talk about how much I loved the movie 'Eclipse' & how sexy Jacob Black is & how annoying Bella is. Well guess what? I'm not doing that at all! I'm about to complain that I have NOT seen the movie yet!

'Eclipse' came out on June 30th & that was the same day my precious Angel was born! So I didn't see the movie...but I did something way better with my time...I GAVE BIRTH!

With the movies 'Twilight' & 'New Moon' I went the midnight showings & I did have fun. But seeing as how I was due any day when 'Eclipse' was coming out, I didn't want to do the midnight showing because I was just way too uncomfortable & way too pregnant to be standing in a line & being jammed crowded by all those screaming, annoying Twi-Hards. 

Yes I'm a Twi-Hard too & I'm proud of it...but it doesn't mean I like other Twi-Hards...they are annoying. LOL!

But my plan was if I was still pregnant on June 30th, I was going to go see the movie with my Mom, but I ended up being in the hospital on June 29th & I didn't even remember 'Eclipse' until someone mentioned it to me days later.

I haven't seen it yet because I haven't wanted to leave Kiana yet. I have only left her for about 30 minutes while I ran to the store & Joe watched her. I'm breast feeding too so I'm her food source so I can't really leave her either.

My Mom & I might go this Saturday to see it (I know its killing her too that she hasn't seen it either) but I'm still hesitant on leaving Kiana. She'd be with my Dad (because Joe will be working) & its not that I don't trust him, I'm just really scared to leave her still. It will only be 2 hours I know but I'm just not sure if I can handle it. Its still up in the air but I have to see the movie before its not in theaters anymore so I need to either wait it out some more or suck it up & just go!
