School that is! I have finally came to this decision as I have realized raising my family is the most important thing. Berkley is a handful!!!!!! The rest of my classes for Vet Tec program were all on campus, then not including animal care shifts, and studying. It has been tough! The only time I could truly study is when she was sleeping.... and her napping habits are VERY irregular. All I did was stay inside because I need to study any chance I was able to get. Through lots of prayer I received my answer. I am now realizing that I am not super woman, and that I too need to take care of myself. I feel much happier, and I am excited to show and teach Berkley new things.
And plus my schedule was stressing me out which was stressing Neal out. So my focus is getting Neal through school and try to relieve as much stress as possible, along with raising Berkley. I at least have my general associates done and need to apply for graduation at the end of the semester.

Berkley
She is so curious!!
1) She is trying to hold her own bottle
2) She wants to hold her spoon and bowl when eating
3) She watches us when we have a cup in our hands and reaches out for it!
4) She loves to feel our faces.. and sometimes it hurts when she scrunches her fingers!!!!!
5) She loves watching the faucet when I am cleaning her bottles. She was watching so intently as the bottle filled up with warm water, after I used the squeegee brush and dumped out the water she jumped back in my arms.
6) She loves to pet the dog's faces, it's so cute!
7) She loves to rip paper,(binder paper) and put it in her mouth.
8) She is such a helper when I put on her new diaper... she holds the front part for me as I get the side straps secure.
Oh.. she is already in level 4 diapers, crazy!

Busy
Well... school has started for us, and man are we busy! Last Saturday we were fortunate enough to move in with Neals parents! We are so greatful to have wonderful families, for the opportunity to be closer to them along with going to school. His family is the greartest, we are so blessed!
Neal has 5 classes this semester!!!!!!!! After this semester he will have 4 classes left and he will have a B.A. in Accounting!! I am so proud of him!!!
I am just taking 1 class but it feels like 2! I have class for 5hrs during the week, let alone 15 shifts of animal care that last up to 2 1/2 hrs long for each month. I am doing the best that I can persuing my dreams. My goal is to become a Veterinarian Technician by the time I reach 27 years old. All I have is 10 animal science classes left!
Berkley has already grown 1/2 an inch!! She is reaching out for cups that we have in our hands as she is trying to drink out of the cup. Its so cute!! She has adjusted to the move really well!
Well..I need to get some more studying in, every quiet moment counts, especially when your kid is napping!

4 month Appointment
Weight= 15.1 lbs Before 12.9 lbs
Length= 25 in Before 22.50 in
Head= 16.5 in Before 15.24 in
She has grown Sooooooooooooo much! She is now on rice ceral, she doesn't know what to think of it yet. With a little bit of help she is rolling over, she will get pretty soon! As I mentioned earlier we are having a tough time putting her down especially during the day, we asked the doctor for advice and she said to let her cry it out. It will definitely be a long and tough process but it will truly be worth it!! You see she has been sou use to us rocking her to sleep that when she gets to her bed she is up. Then the whole process starts all over again and if we are lucky she will fall asleep in her crib. A long time ago she figured out the sleeping through the night thing but the naps during the day... not so much.

Other Stuff Update
So Anna goes to a new home tomorrow, I will miss her a ton!! She is going to an animal rescue agency that adapts for Pets Mart. The lady already has someone interested in her, as I sent her a picture. Since we are moving in with Neal's parents and the dogs tormented the other cat that they had in there we thought it would be best to giver her to someone, plus we can't give her the attention that she needs.
School starts tomorrow, it is crazy how time flys by so fast! Oh something else,..... we thought we were pregnant again... thankfully we are not!!!!! Documentation of periods are VERY important!!
Oh and we move on Saturday!!!!! It will be so nice to be close to basically everything!!!

Bearing My Soul !
I don't know if my highschool friends are aware of this but..... I am am really afraid of CHANGE! I have struggled with this my entire life!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1. To playing the violin in elementary
2.Living in different places as my parents got married got re- married
3. Going to school and figuring out which path to go down.
4. Being on my own when I got married
5. Working graveyards on the weekends by doing so I didn't have a social life
6. Dealing with change AFTER having a baby !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Being pregnant was more of a piece of cake for me, but once she was out life was definitely different!
- Her falling asleep in my arms then when I lay her peacefully in her bed she wakes up!
- Her not traveling well!!! It is very stressful traveling with her on my own!! So whenever I need to go and do something I wait till Neal gets home.
So this is me laying it out there.
