Teeth

Well aboutan hour and a half ago after listening to Robert cry and yell for a while I reached my hand into his mouth and rubed along his bottom gum line and there is the fainted feeling of teeth. So it looks like we are going to be going back to the teething stage again. This should be fun as the pain gets worse and we will see how he handles it. That will eventually mean solid food but were still a good ways from that.

It's TRAINING TIME

This family is in Training. Anthony is training for a Full Marathon He will be doing the Rock 'n' Roll marathon on Nov. 13, 2011.

I am training for a Half Marathon on October 29, 2011. It's called Chosen for Adoption Half Marathon. I have never ran more than a mile before training for this half marathon. Thanks to my good friend Sara Henderson for asking me to do it with her I've been motivated to do something out of my comfort zone. Thankfully Anthony is experience with running he is training me at the same time he is training for his marathon. As far as my training, the farthest I have run so far is 6.15 miles. I was sore the next day.

As for Kelly she is potty training so far she is doing well in the daytime. We don't know how we are going to do at night time when she is asleep.

As for Robert....well he is always in training training to become a big boy. he can flip from his tummy to his back. He can pick up his head really good. And of course he is eating constantly. He can sleep through the night mostly every night which is nice because he gets up before Anthony goes to work and by the time I get up he has already been changed and fed.

On top of all this training, I am going back to School. Oh Boy!! What did I get myself into? lol.

Change of Command

This is me at the change of command last friday on the 15th. Our squadron Commander LTC Filman just PCS'd (permanent change of station). In this picture I am saluting LTC Gonzalez our new SQ/CC. I played the role of Commander of Airmen (COA). It was an easy yet important role and I was glad to play that part. The major from our Squadron who was deployed has returned and is the SQ/DO Squadron Director of Operations. At the end of the month the Captain from the squadron capt. Russel returns at the beginning of next month, she is an interesting character.

My Kelly turns 2 today!!!!

Today my little Kelly is not little anymore.

My Helpers

So I was going through pictures of Kelly and Robert and here is what I found:

Kelly at 2 months old

Robert at 2 months old

These two are my everything. Kelly is such a big helper she loves taking care of Robert. When Robert cries she goes and puts the Binky in his mouth. She checks his diaper to see if it needs to be changed. She gives him kisses before going to bed. She is such a big helper. Robert is growing everyday. On Father's day he giggled for his daddy. Anthony enjoys being a Father. He is such a good husband as well, he lets me sleep in on the weekends while he takes care of Robert. He even gets up during the night to feed Robert. After Kelly was born, Anthony would get up in the middle of the night to take care of Kelly. After Robert was born I would get up to take care of Robert. Anthony told me he could get up to feed him and change his diaper. He also said to me that that is the only time he has to have one on one with his son. I am really proud of him and what he has done for this family.

Marathon training/class

As seen here Kelly is out running her aunt Ame along the path that goes around the parade feild at lackland AFB. Who knows maybe one day she will be a runner like her dad. Which brings me to today and my traning for the rock and roll marathon here in San Antonio this up coming november. This morning while the rest of the family slept ( sia and robert went back to sleep after she got up to feed him). I went for a run as part of the training that I have been doing for the marathon. I ran from our house to the Air Force base to the Warhawk gym on base which is about half a mile from the gate I came in or so and then back to the house in total I ran about 13 miles which is half a marathon. I was the solo run that I have ever done and though I am quite worn out from it I did pretty good and felt stong most of the way. Once I arrived home and had stopped and my muscles had a chance to regain feeling I have felt even more tired but it was a good run.
On a completely different topic thursday I finished my LOG 299 Combat Logistics course that I had been going to for a little over a week. It is put on through AFIT the Air Force Institue of Technology its an extra training thing that goes on your record, its not vital to a career but its one of those things that can help set you apart from your peers. Yesterday on friday I went back to my normal job but dont have a desk for right now so I was put at one of the TSgt tech sergents desk for the rest of the day. Being at that desk I was able to log into the AFIT web site and do the online LOG 99 Fundamentals of Logitics course. Now all I have to do is the LOG 199 and I will be completely up todate that is another classroom instruction course though and wont be here at lackland for the rest of the year. So maybe it will come next year and I can do it then. Anyway class was good and the run this moring was to. That should bring everyone up to date.

He's Finally here!!!!!!

He's finally here. Robert Sione Vea Lemons was born on March 30, 2011 at 8: 30 pm. He weighed at 8 lbs. 3 oz. 20 1/4 in. long. This labor wasn't very easy. It started out on that monday My mucus plug came out. That evening we all went for a walk. We got back to the house and I noticed something was wrong I had more blood coming out. We went to Labor and Delivery just to check know that I wasn't in labor yet. The doctor told me I was dilated to 1 cm. That night I had trouple sleeping. The next day I was timing my contractions. They were 7-10 mins. apart. I was in the early part of labor. That evening I went to the bathroom after I was done, I noticed something fluids came out. I didn't know if it was my water if I just had pee my pants. I called the Relief Society President. The reason why I called her is because she is a Midwife. She came over and told me that your water did break. My mom was coming here but she didn't fly out until the next day. So that night called one of the sisters in the ward to watch Kelly. I called the Labor and Delivery Room and they said that there was no more room for me so they diverted me to a different hospital. I was a little bummed because we were less than 1o minutes from the hospital on base. Now we had to drive to another hospital that was like 20 mins. We got to the Hospital around 10:30 pm and I wasn't feeling any different then before my water broke. They told me I was not having contractions 4-6 mins. apart. by then I was dilate to 2 cm. couple hours has passed and then I meet the Doctor Garcia. Dr. Garcia looked exactly like my dad. He talked and walked like my dad. He then checked me and told me that I'm leaking green dischage which means there is poop inside of me. So they had to speed up the labor. By then I wanted an epidural. By 6:30 am I was completely dilated. once again I was pushing for a while. Robert didn't want to come down. He was also big. At this point, the dr. suggested that I need a C section. I was afraid and that I wanted to do this naturally. He gave me 10 more mins to push but nothing had change. The nurse and the dr. told me that the risk of going naturally any more further would put the baby at risk. I told them ok lets do it. In the back of my mind, I was scared. Especially for a first time c section. Anthony left the room and I wanted him to stay with me. I wanted to cry. They then prep me. All I could remember is looking up at the lights then we were headed to the OR. I then closed my eyes because I didn't want to see anything or feel anything. Onced I closed my eyes, I could hear Robert's first cry. I opened my eyes and then I turned my head and I see a guy with glasses coming closer to me. At first I was like "Who is this?" then I realized it was Anthony. He looked like one of them. I asked him if he was ok he said he is fine. I told him I was scared. He said I was doing great. Then I closed my eyes again and then I opened it I was in the recovery room. I didn't get to hold Robert until 2:00pm. It was a long time. Once I held him for the first time I felt a deep connection between me and my son. Soon after I got to see Kelly and Anthony. It was a picture perfect to hae my husband, my daughter and my son in the room.
