sometimes, i just want kiah to sleep all day long. #1 because she looks like the most adorable little angel when she sleeps. #2 because i want to get things done.
my last 12 hours have been hilarious to say the least
as i said bye to stephen while he literally crammed into Juan Guzmans tiny mini cooper with Ul and the other Juan and all their bags for the big wedding weekend and some golf clubs i embraced the night with my sweet baby girl. i rocked her to sleep as i regretfully ate a big piece of chocolate cake with a big glass of milk. i knew i shouldn't have done that. she has not been sleeping so great in her crib. she was up every 2 hours, 12:00 2:00, 4:00 6:00 and then i go down stairs to turn the air on because it gets crazy hot in this apt i had to kill a giant cockroach. ewww.
up the squeaky stairs to try to get some more sleep.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK on the door
normally, when kids miss the bus stephen will get outta bed and take them to school
well, stephens not here
so i get outta bed again and go to the door and tell kiran that i can not take him to school
then i go back upstairs to bed
then again about 1 hour later
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCk on the door
mandalyna, sorry no i can not take u to school
at this point, whenever i am trying to sleep i get woken up so i figure i will just get up, make coffee and start this day

weddings.mountains.crib
oh my goodness, is it already september?
i feel like thanksgiving is gonna be here so soon, then christmas and then kiah will be 1 year old walking and talking and ....ok i need to slow down.
on kiahs 3 month birthday we put her in her crib to sleep IN THE OTHER ROOM for the first time. i actually was totally ok with it because she has just grown right out of the bassinet that once seemed plenty big for her now is too little.
LOL! sorry to get off track but i literally just laughed out loud. i am sitting in kiahs room on this rainy thursday morning while a Burmese bible study is taking place downstairs and kiah sleeps in her crib. i think she is having a bad dream but it is so hilarious because she just yelled out while she was sleeping REALLY LOUD but when right back to sleep. sorry, but i love it.
anyways, but back to kiah in her crib. i love it because stephen and i can actually stop tip toeing around our bedroom at night and moving on or off the bed in slow motion to keep it from sqeeking. and we can listen to our little princess on the baby monitor. but before we could make it a routine, we took off to Asheville,nc for dinner at my favorite TUPELO HONEY and Liz and Caleb's wedding, then late that night to grandfather mountain with friends for labor day weekend. it was a perfectly planned out weekend right? well, it was different. different compared to life back before kiah.
before kiah lily, it was just stephen and i. at weddings, we socialized, danced to slow songs, reminisced about our wedding, ate fun food, danced with friends. life is very different with little kiah. we stood in the back to keep kiah quiet during the ceremony instead of with our friends who we hadn't seen in a long time. during the cocktail hour before the reception i hid away in a back bathroom to feed kiah while everyone else mingled and caught up on life and took fun pictures together. stephen and i barely ate, barely danced, barely finished conversations with friends and mostly took care of kiah. honestly, as we left i was really sad. i had been looking forward to this wedding and seeing friends for so long. i had a pity party for about 15 minutes and then decided...while all of my heart
...she is more than worth it.
becoming a mom, u sacrifice lots of things. i realized i love her so much!!! she is and will always be worth anything i might not be able to do or have or enjoy. i love her just because she is mine and i am hers. i also realize, that is how it is with God. kiah doesn't even talk or tell me how great i am or doing things for me. but i love her just because she is mine. "i am my beloveds and he is mine"
GOD IS LOVE
i am so thankful for stephen and all the help he gives me. i am thankful for the long runs i have been able to go on. i am thankful that my friend faith has moved just down the street from me. i am thankful that my friend morgan is coming to visit me and kiah in a few weekends. i am thankful for all the people who have provided so many things that we have needed for kiah. i am thankful for the kids in the neighborhood being understanding about how much time and energy it takes to take care of a baby.
we have a lot going on these days. tomorrow, we head to high point, nc for corbin and sarahs wedding!!!! we will be there all weekend and then monday we will have our first GIRLS NIGHT starting back up again. then i am having a baby shower for one of our friends in the neighborhood who is having a baby boy any day now. so exciting! along with my other beautiful friend JESSICA JONES who is having her baby girl any day now!!! i am so ready to see and hold a newborn again!
