2 Months Later

This beautiful daughter of ours is 2 months old. I can't believe two months have went by since we welcomed her into our lives. Today is her very first 4th of July, I wish we could go to U of R, but it's expected to be in the 100's and I don't want to burn her. Besides, she has very bad eczema when it gets too hot, so I would like to keep her skin as cool as possible.

This past weekend we were blessed to fly home to Hawaii. It was a really fast trip, so fast it felt like I was on the plane for 11 hours. The husband's family had a family reunion at Turtle Bay and we went home only for that. It was a blessing because we were only there from Friday night to Sunday morning, since the husband was post-call on Friday he left the hospital early, was already assigned a day off on Saturday and our friend covered his shift on Sunday. I prayed so hard when he was looking for tickets on Wednesday evening, and low and behold something came up and a friend was able to cover him on Sunday.

Also, last week, my parents came to SoCal to visit our family and meet Zoey. We went to Legoland and Disneyland, where we finally renewed our Annual Passes. James enjoyed his time.

Let's see, whatelse.... Oh the husband is finally a 2nd year Resident! Hallelujah! I can't believe we survived Intern year. I guess it flew by since I was pregnant for 10 months of it, so I always had something to keep me busy, besides James. Just this year and one more year after that, then home, sweet home. Ahh, I can't wait for that day!

Another hot topic in our family: Kindergarten!

James officially started Kindergarten on July 2nd. He is doing well to going daily and said he has made new friends! He has a really short school day and it was only extended so that the kids had a lunch break, which ends their school day. It's weird. Any way, he brought home his first homework assignment which is to write his name. The teacher sent the homework with a letter stating that some of the children didn't know how to write their name so this is supposed to help them. I find it odd because back in my day, we learned to write the alphabets when we got into Kindergarten. Luckily, we worked with James and his writing so he knows how to write his letters and his name. Yay!

Well, it's time to check on the Princess. Happy 4th to all!

Isogashii!

Isogashii = Busy (Japanese).

It is a busy week with graduations, weddings and friends. I can't believe a medical school year has come to a close. We will be soon saying our good-byes to our friends who are moving to Ohio. We're so happy for them, but yet, our hearts are sadden since they won't be in the SoCal area.

On the Zoey front, tomorrow she will be a month old. Where has the time gone??

Zoey seems to be thinking night is day and vice versa, we thought we corrected this problem, but it seems like it has come back. She has this "habit" for staying awake till 2 a.m., of course it's taking a toll on the husband and I. I really am praying that this will resolve before June 2nd because the husband is back on overnight calls for the month of June.

Yesterday we went to go and check on our Peanut Shell sling to make sure we were using the correct size (which we were) and found out one of the neighboring stores that we went to was closing. I ended up picking up a second bedding set for Zoey.



It is interchangeable with the theme I have already instilled; pink and brown polkas. I am so in love with it, especially the elephants toosh. It is in the wash and when I put everything back together and in the crib I'll take a picture of the nursery.

Time to go get my Zzzzzz on.
