3 Months


So a last weekend was the 3 month mark for Breann. I can't believe how much she has grown in just three months. She is sleeping through the night for the most part and tries to turn over but hasn't quite got the hang of it yet. It is definite to say that she has her mommy's lungs and that is why we don't need a baby monitor right now. Izzy is still trying to gather Jeff's and mine attention by peeing in places she is not suppose too. Still working on the jealousy factor with that one. Bree goes and sees the doctor in a couple of weeks for her 4Th month check up and next round of shots. I am preparing myself now.

San Diego

This past weekend Jeff and I went to San Diego to see the Wild Animal Park and San Diego Zoo. At the last minute we dropped Breann off with my parents and went down there ourselves. The whole time I felt with drawls because I would see parents with there kids and I would wish Bree was with us. There were many reasons why Jeff and I decided to leave Bree with the grandparents but the main reason was because my parents were throwing a birthday party for my grandma (last minute thing otherwise Jeff and I would have picked a different weekend to go to the Zoo). Anyways we told my grandma and my aunt that was coming up to my parents house from San Diego that the family wouldn't be there and will see them next time. My grandma kept saying that we should just leave the little one with my mom and dad so then they can at least see her. I told them no not this time but it was my grandma's birthday and at the last minute thought it would be a nice surprise for them. So I called my mom and she said that would would love to watch Bree for the weekend. I'd asked if they could video taped their reactions when they brought the little one out. In the end Jeff and I had a nice weekend to ourselves and my grandma and aunt got to spend time with Breann. I love my family. Hopefully I will have the video of it up soon.

All coming together


I was worried that I would not have a job (or at least the hours)when I went back to work. From what I heard from co-workers that there were some cut backs at work. After talking with my scheduler at work they do plan on having me back and not a moment to soon because another employee is taking a month off to bee with his woman and there new little one. In the mean time Jeff and I are trying to budget our finances and I am preparing to go back to school. I decided to change my major from Animal Science to Liberal Studies. My decision comes because I want to be home with my family at night and for dinner time. Also to continue in the animal field would mean I have to change to a research animal care position. Now I support the animal research and all that they do but I like to help the animals get better and not to mention when I have down-time at work I can pet the animals.

I have been looking at different schools and have narrowed it down to three schools and will be talking to the counselors and taking tours of the campus over the next couple of weeks. I am kind of excited to be going back to school, it makes me feel like I have more energy. Don't ask me why, it just does.

Tired


Since Thursday night I have been really tired. I played a game of softball that made me realized how out of shape I really am still. I don't know if I am losing sleep because I know I am going to have to go back to work and I don't think I am ready to put Bree into a daycare. I know Jeff would love for me to stay at home and not worry about work but we live in California and stay at home mom is a career that is hard to get going in. For those who have establish this career, you are so lucky. I am a little excited to go back to work, I do miss working on the animals and seeing my peeps there. I just want to be with my little one at the same time.

Good Devotional

A little over a week ago I went to a bridal shower for my good friend Heather. During that time we had a little devotional from another friend Brittney and it made me realize that I miss devotional time. What she brought to the party was very intriguing and a reminder of how a little devotion can go a long way. Not to mention her devotional was an awesome message to everyone who is married.

4th of July



I learned a lot of things yesterday. That I can add a slide show to my blog site, that is so cool. Also Breann doesn't mind the fireworks, in fact she actually started crying when they stopped. The only thing she really didn't like was the heat. Jeff and I spoiled her by having a central air and heating to the condo so when she goes to another place that doesn't have it she gets really uncomfortable. But at night we all had a fun time lighting off fireworks in Chino and as you can tell I got a little camera happy and took too many pictures of the fireworks. No one got hurt and only a few people in the neighborhood had illegal fireworks.

No Work


I don't want to go back to work. I love working with animals and taking care of them but I like being with my family for dinner and evening events even more. The count down has begun because I am eligible to go back to work on July 29Th. I have 26 days left to enjoy being with Bree before I have to go back. Jeff and I found a day care center right by my work but we would rather pay someone we knew to watch her. I am still working the evenings so I will be able to be with her during the day more.
