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.

Two days left

Well I am almost done with my traning which I have been in for the past nine weeks. Graduation is this up coming tuesday. Thursday and friday were spent in our capstone project where we are given various scenerios and we have to come up with and answer to how we would solve the problem based on what we have learned durring the course using the various AFI ( Air Force Instructions). Its been very interesting and fun we have one more day of capstone tommorrow but we will also be running through the graduation ceremony which is on tuesday. I am really looking forward to being done and going back to the squadron. Also this last saturday we had our third basketball game for the stake and our ward lost the game which makes our record 2-1 which isnt bad and we have two more games before the tournament and then the tournament so we will see how well we do. This last game was hard in part because the team we played had at least three players who were over 6'5" so they were heavy stacked. We will see how it turns out in the end over the next few weeks. Sia is getting closer and closer to her due date she is really looking forward to giving birth and not be pregnant any more. So we are both getting closer and closer to being done with our various "projects".

Two Weeks left

Hello all this is Anthony im not sure how long its been since sia wrote but I know i havent written anything in a while. Well yesterday was the second and last PT test that I have to take for this training. Any time we're in training for AETC ( Air Education Training Command) we have to take two PT tests. On my first one I got a 100% and on this last one I got a one hundred percent as well. I am very happy about that since I also got a lower run time then on my last run not my fastest ever but faster then the first time. I am also on the last block of instruction and will graduate in two weeks exactly on the fifteenth. I am definatly looking forward to being out of training and back to the regular squadron where I am still sloted to be the Material Management Flight Commander. One more test and a capstone project and im done with training and then I can really get some on the job training.

Family update!!!

Ok Anthony and I haven't been updating our blog for awhile. Anyways, I'm 28 weeks pregnant!!!! Hooray 3rd and last trimester!!!!! I just had my 28 week appointment yesterday. I brought Kelly with me so that she can hear the heartbeat of her little Brother!!! The heartbeas is strong. Everything is fine doc said to take it easy. More pills to take. I have to be careful picking up Kelly. There are times when Kelly puts her arms up and begging me to pick her when I can't I just have to squat and give her hugs. We are having a boy. Anthony is pretty excited. He won't be the only boy in the family. We have already picked out a name. His name will be Robert his middle name is still undecided. We are thinking to put a tongan name in there.

Two weekends ago we went as a family back to Arizona for my twin sister's homecoming from her mission in Ogden, Utah. Funny thing is that she hasn't seen me not pregnant. A year and a half ago I was 8 months pregnant with Kelly. It's funny that she came back and I still look the same. Kelly got confused who her real mama was.

SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS

Well, We have been here at San Antonio for a month. The drive from Arizona to San Antonio was an ok drive I didn't do most of it. I was happy to have my Father in-law Vince Lemons come with me. We drove in one day. Kelly was good throughout the whole trip. A couple of times she was fussy but she did take some nap. We got into San Antonio around 11 pm. We didn't get enough sleep just because kelly had taken so many naps on the way down here. We got to the airport and waited for Anthony's flight. We literally picked him up and dropped Vince off. I was happy to see him. Driving around San Antonio is a little confusing if you are new to the area. We found a house within days. We moved in within a week. We moved in on Black Friday. While people are out shopping I spent the day unpacking. Anthony got me a washer and dryer for my birthday. With Christmas in a week, we are done with Christmas shopping and looking forward for Christmas. Kelly can't seem to get away from the tree and the gifts under the tree. To all our family and Friends, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!

3 days to go

Well, after six weeks it is down to 3 days until I get to see Anthony. The first two weeks were the hardest. It was hard because I would rely on my husband but now I had to rely on to take care Kelly and myself. I have been staying with my in-laws for the past six weeks and they have taught me so much from relying on myself to eating healthy. One week I had the opportunity to make dinner for my in-laws. It was a good experience because I hardly cook. Well, I do cook but not real cooking. I picked out the recipes 4 out of 5 was good so overall I did pretty well. One of the recipe that I cook was a cheeseburger

When I ate this Big, Fat, Juicy Cheeseburger I didn't feel guilty. It was healthy and it was very Delicious. I was proud of myself for doing this.
