Tired.

I don't know what to do next.  

Sick of this...

I just want to vent for a moment. I am already sick of hearing people complain about the election. Yes, people voted because of race. Yes, there are still many racists (of all races) in this country. No, they are not going away. I have heard so many people say that it is about time we had a black president, well... he isn't even black. Then people want to say that blacks have had it worse than anybody. Not sure about that, but I do know that they jave not been the only mistreated people. I have been ignored and mistreated simply because I am Mormon. Joseph Smith, the first latter-day prophet, was tarred and feathered because he shared his testimony and his witness of seeing Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ in addition to angels and apostles. He was killed because of his beliefs. The election is over, so what we need to do now is keep our families together, happy, and safe... which is what we should always do.

Gone Back to Work

I have gone back to work. I worked Monday 4-10. It was not too bad. We were really busy so I wasn't able to think too much about being away from Reina. However, tonight I work 1:30-10. That is a little bit longer of a shift. I don't like it. I don't like working. I have applied for a tutoring job, so I hope it works out. That way, I don't have to be at Walgreens too much. I just wish teachers made more. I knew they didn't make a lot, but I didn't realize it would be that little. Oh well, things will work out the way they are supposed to.

Reina has been asleep now for about 2 hours. She needs to wake up and eat before the in-laws come over to watch her and I head to work. Russ will be with her tonight, so maybe they can bond some more. He needs that. Wish us luck!

2 more weeks...

I know it has been awhile. I have been so busy getting know my little daughter. She slept through the night last night: 11:30pm to 8am. YAY! :D She is also taking a nap right now. Usually when she sleeps through the night, that means no nap. I think she must be really tired. Russ and I are trying to get on a set schedule for Reina, especially since I go back to work in 2 weeks. I am dreading that! I was just going to go back part time, but my sister has recently become engaged to a wonderful guy. However, the date is set for December 20. So, I plan on working more so we can go out to Utah for one of the receptions. She really wants us there, so we are going to try. That means I will be working about 30 hours a week so Russ won't have to pick Reina and myself up on insurance (extra $600) and to earn more to save. Walgreens really is not a bad place to work, I just don't want to leave my daughter... who is crying now. I will hopefully get more updating in later.

12 Days Old

When I was changing Reina's clothes this morning, she rolled over. I am not kidding. I had her down to her diaper and she kept 'rolling' onto her side. At one point she got almost over to her tummy but then fell back onto her back. Then, as if she finally realized what she was trying to do, she just rolled completely over to her stomach. I promise, I did not imagine it. She is learning so fast. I am definitely one proud Momma.

New Life

Reina Cherie Prince was born on September 4 at 5:09pm. She weighed 6 lbs 13 ounces and was 20 inches long. We are very happy to have her as a part of our lives. She brings a smile to everyone's face. She is beautiful and very happy. We thank our Heavenly Father for providing this wonderful child for us to raise and cherish.

Happy Birthday, Reina!

Today is the day! It is 6:20am, Russ is in the shower. We have planned to leave at 6:30 to make sure we get there on time, which is 7:15am. I'm not sure what all will be going on. Hopefully this will be a speedy induction, but it is in the Lord's hands. I am so grateful for everything He has done for us. I am also grateful for everyone else that has been there for us the past nine months. I know it has not been easy. ;) Anyways, I am so hungry since I couldn't eat anything past what I had for dinner last night. I'll try really hard not to be a grouch. Well, I need to push my husband along. I'll update as soon as I have a spare moment. Pictures will be up soon as well. I'm going to be a mom!!!
