Welcome Home Baby!

Dear blog, I finally got to bring my baby girl home. We are beyond thrilled to finally have her home finally. It has been extremely difficult having her at the hospital, away from us. Now we still have some traveling to do, like taking her to an eye clinic and her monthly checkup. It has taken a little getting used to. Trying to spend time with both children, I don't want my son to feel left out. He is finally getting used to having her around, he now goes up to her bassinet to check on her! It's the sweetest thing.

I love to cuddle with my baby girl. I always wanted to have a girl, God has blessed me greatly. I have a wonderful little boy and a beautiful little girl. It's a dream come true to have one of each. 



Now I have officially become dependent on coffee, I don't sleep much. I've been going to bed at 3:00 a.m every morning. I like to be awake to feed her at 2:00 a.m.

My fuel is coffee and milk is the baby's fuel :)
I really like the Similac NEOSure formula for my baby. And I like to drink a white chocolate mocha hot from Starbucks.

Baby girl recently had an eye exam that was two hours away from home. We were up at 4:00 a.m, I wasn't too happy about being up that early. My baby boy and baby girl were troopers on the way there and back. Thank God that my mom came with me, she was a great companion. I took some gold fish snacks in a Ziploc bag in case he wanted to snack on something. Also, I'm so glad that there were toys there for him to play with and be entertained. He sat still for a little while to watch Daniel Tiger. He seemed like he enjoyed watching the show, he watches it at home. 




Like I mentioned above, I don't want my son to feel left out, so I try not to get on to him for every little thing. I have heard that when a baby is born the oldest acts like a baby again. I have definitely experienced this. But over all he has been a trooper, I can't ask more from him. He never liked to ride in his stroller so we stopped using it months ago. Now we just have him walk and when he gets tired we hold him.

Here he is trying out baby sister's stroller. Funny story, we went to the doctor for baby girl. As I was getting her car seat out my son climbed on to the stroller and did not want to come down. So he rode the stroller up to the doctor's office and then when we were leaving. As a parent I've learned to chose my battles and this one was one I was not going to fight. He wanted to ride the stroller, great, easier on me. I don't have to be running after him. Also, baby girl is not very big so I didn't mind carrying the car seat. I actually found it quite adorable, I miss him being a baby.

I love the journey that my husband and I are in, raising two wonderful children. We wouldn't want it any other way. We love them both very much!

I hope you enjoyed this post:)
God Bless

Back to School

Dear blog, it is time to start a new semester. I'm getting so close to being done with my Master's degree. I have 5 classes left; God willing I will complete my Master's and graduate this August. I'm so pumped to finally be done and get a small break from school. Which is ironic because my degree is in teaching. It is time to buy text books and school supplies. Even though my classes are online, I still like to have a notebook to take notes as I read. Also, I love post it notes to write reminders of when assignments need to be turned in, pens, pencils, and highlighters. I'm all about making to-do lists, so I always have a piece of paper around that tells me what I need to be doing. This is a lap computer desk, I bought it at Bed Bath and Beyond it is not found online. I have had this desk for about 5 years now. I really like this desk because it can be moved around; it can be used on the couch or just to sit on the floor. This desk has two slots on the side to ke

Wish List for Valentines

Kiel James Patrick: Brunch At Tiffany's , I discovered this store last year and I absolutely fell in love. In particular with this pearl necklace, I have been wanting it since I saw it. It is quite pricey, hence why I have not been able to get it. This necklace costs $82.00; I mean it is made up of pearls so I don't expect for it to be cheap. Also, it looks like a classy piece that every girl should have in their jewelry collection. Pearls will always be in style. Tory Burch: Perfume ; this one is the 1oz bottle for $65.00. This has been on my wish list for a year. The bottle is absolutely gorgeous, I can use it as a decoration on my vanity. Tory Burch: Tilsim Logo Heart Stud , perfect gift for Valentines Day. These earrings are gorgeous. Victoria's Secret: The Cotton Mayfair Pajamas , this pajama is so cute, it's in my favorite color. Also, I need new pajamas, I have plenty of pajamas bottoms, but not tops. This one is perfect because it

Week 6 Weight Loss Journey

Image
Dear blog, once again no change in my wight. I look slimmer, but no weight has come off. I have not gained or lost weight; my brother says it's because I don't have a clean diet and I think he is right. I have been working out really hard, but not made much improvement in the types of food I have been putting into my body. I'm really trying to make better choices, but those sweets get me all the time. Also, I feel hungry all the time, I don't understand. It has really been hard. For this coming week I'm going to try to stay away from sweets and of course continue to work out hard core. I feel like I should only document when there is actual weight loss happening. What do you think or are you liking the weekly updates?
