So its been a while since I have blogged and so much has happened. Serenity is 3 now and gettin so big. We are waitin to hear if she is goin to start headstart in the fall or not. We are crossin our fingers because my baby girl really wants to go to school. Ok wait im gettin ahead of myself LOL. Serenity got the tube taken out of her ear and is doin great. She finally reached the 30 pound mark. She is so petite. She now weighs 31.5 pounds and is 37.5 inches tall. She is doin great with her teacher. We did a transition day last week. The transition day consisted of her goin to the school where she will go to headstart and gettin to spend the day there. She LOVED it. I think she is goin to do fabulous. As for me, I was a little sad to see that she was fine with bein there without me. I wish she could stay little forever but I know she cant. My little girl aint so little anymore.

We are plannin our road trip to go see her Nana and Papa LOL. Ask her and she will tell you how excited she is. She will tell you that Nana, Rya, and her are goin to have a girls day and that mommy cant come. she will also tell you that Papa is goin to take her for a ride in his jeep and that they are goin to the mountains. She is so excited that everyday she will ask me if its time to go to Nana and Papa's. she gets a little upset when I tell her not yet but soon. None the less when the day comes she will be ecstatic to go.

Late Night Thoughts

So its 2am and im awake. Got so much on my head and dont really know where to start. Sittin here watchin my lil girl sleepin. i cant help but think WOW, this lil girl has brought so much happiness to me. Im finally at a point in motherhood that im content being a single mom. At first it was really hard for me because more than anything I wanted her to have her mommy and daddy there for her always. Unfortunately, im playin the mommy and daddy role. I still have hope that her dad will grow up and make her more of a priority and want to make the effort to be with her more but for now im happy with the fact that im here for her always.

Its been difficult havin to grow up and get into this mind set. By no means did I start out thinkin that I could do this by myself and that everything would be ok. But with all the support I have I know I can do anything I set my mind to. Most of all, Ive watched my sis, Kassie, go through the same thing that I am and look up to her for it. She has showed me strength. I knew if my sis could do it then I could do it too. Thanks Sis for showin me that I was strong and could do this. i honestly dont think I could do this without you. Thanks everyone for being there and standin behind me. Im grateful for everyone and everything in my life. Mommy loves her lil Princess

Serenity's 2nd Birthday

So my li lgirl is 2 now. Yay! I cried like a baby cuz I kept thinkin "my baby is growin up so fast she aint so little no more." Her birthday was a success. She wasnt to interested in doin cake or presents she just wanted to play in the playland at the pizza restaurant that we had her party at. She got alot of cool stuff. She got alot of cute outfits, movies, playdoe, legos,money, and a flat screen TV. Yeah I said it a tv. Its pretty bad when my 2 year old has a more hightech tv than me but hey its cool. She loved it.

I had so much fun on my baby girls special day but I cant help but think the older she gets the harder its gonna get for me. I dont know what im gonna do when she goes off 2 school. Well, that was my day thanks for readin

About Me

Hello, my name is Karissa. Im 23 almost 24 and the proud mom of a beautiful little girl named Serenity! Serenity is about to turn 2 and is the joy of my life. I cant imagine life with out her. Its been a struggle bein a mom. I am the main provider of Serenity and let me tell you its not easy by any means. It has its up too though. I love watchin the new things she does and watchin her grow.

I had Serenity when I was 21 and man did I have to grow up fast. My pregnancy was a lil rough. I had a bleedin episode when I was 13 weeks. Thought I was gonna lose her. I gained alot of water weight and had a doctor that in my opinion wasnt all that great. I contracted alot about the last month or 2 of my pregnancy. The day I had her I was havin strong contractions for about 12 hours before they decided 2 do a c-section because I had so much water I wasnt dialating. It was scary but my baby girl did great. She weighed a whoppin 9 pounds 3 ounces and was 22 inches long. I always called her my lil chunk.

Since i've had Serenity though we've been through alot. She got RSV at 5 weeks and had to spend 2 days in the hospital I never left her side. Then after she was a year old we went through her gettin alot of ear infections and she ended up gettin tubes in her ears. Since then she has been great. Shes growin up so fast.

So thats my story of me with my lil girl. Wouldnt change a thing. Hope you enjoyed learnin about me and the things to come
