What it's going to be like starting in October?

Starting the end of September, I will be a full-time Mommy to my daughter, Alexia Renee. Why do I say that...because I have to take 3 months off from school thanks to a scheduled C-section in November. I didn't want to miss any classes during my 2nd quarter so I decided to take the quarter off while I prepare for my C-section and prepare for my 2nd daughter's arrival. I will be out of commission longer than someone having a baby naturally due to having stitches and being put on medication. We also will definitely be down to one income in the house which means I will be a coupon addict and staying home more, instead of traveling, like I'm used to. I won't be able to travel anyways starting the end of September. I'm so used to getting up and going somewhere, but unfortunately I will have to wait to travel again probably until Christmas time when we're trying to plan a trip to Florida.

I'm looking forward to meeting my 2nd baby girl, Devine in November. She has become such a little kicker lately. Kicking me in the ribs and pushing down my bladder during the day. I've become accustomed to it. I definitely look forward to being home with her for two months, getting to breastfeed her and also get used to having two children in the house. Alexia, her big sister is going to be really helpful around the house when I first come out of the hospital and so will Daddy of course.

I've never been home for 3 months without having a schedule...so this is going to be interesting for me. For 3 months I will be a full-time SAHM. I wonder if I'm going to go insane without my usual adult interaction that I'm used to. I guess we'll see. I look forward to it. I look forward to volunteering more at my daughter's school and going to the library more. I also have my sister-in-law's, my friends and my old co-worker's to turn too.

I'm excited for everything in the next few months. I'm looking forward to starting school next week and getting a feel of it, and then going back in January after I'm all healed and able to adjust.

3 more days as a active duty Sailor...and then it's off to be a permanent Retired Navy dependent. =)

Hope everyone has a GREAT weekend!!!

XOXO,
