Wowzers!

Did I know what hard was? Clearly no! I am so overwhelmed by being a full time mom. This was my dream job, to stay home with my kiddos 24/7 while the hubby did the working. Now Im second guessing my dream job, it's harder then I even expected. Wait I take that back I didn't even think it would be this hard. Kudos to those mothers that's been doing it longer then two years! I can't even remember the last time me and the hubby went out on a date! I mean it did kinda get harder with three lil munchkins especially now that I'm nursing baby Nancy so she literally has to be with me where ever I go. It's only been two weeks since giving birth and I feel overworked. I really just wanna get a nice hotel for me, take a nice bubble bath, eat a gourmet meal and drink lots of champagne! Lol JK cross the champagne and replace it with a mango smoothie! I feel guilty for even thinking like that but hey mommas need some me time and its ok to dream! But then reality kicks in and my two very active boys and a hungry newborn remind me no sleeping on the job! I love my kids with all of me they're my everything, without all the chaos I guess I wouldn't be losing these calories cleaning  after them or being their full time toy picker upper! As much as I complain how hard being a full time mommy is, I seriously have the best support system from none other then my husband! I really don't know how I got lucky with him because postpartum after birth with me can be exhausting. I kind of take advantage with the whole healing process lol. Oh and not to mention my mood swings! My poor husband, but hey I went thru the pain during labor so let me soak it in!! He really helps me out a lot with the kids, even though he works 12-13 hr shifts. On his days off he likes to take the boys out to some place fun whether it be Hollywood Connections or just to the park, just so I could get some rest. Now that baby Nancy is here my me time, I will be sharing with her. But its ok, I like the newborn stage all they do is literally just eat and then go right back to sleep so it's not to hard. All in all even though motherhood is not all sunshine and roses and as much as I can complain how hard it is I honestly wouldn't change a thing. I have learned so much from being a mother, my kids teach me so much it's rewarding and I'm so in love with them! I guess you can say our date nights have become just a redbox or netflix kind of date while the kiddos are sound asleep, but hey at least we are getting us time thats all that matters. Being a mommy rocks! Happy late Mother's Day to all you awesome mothers!

Update!


Hey bloggers, it definitely has been awhile and so much has happened since I've last blogged! It has actually been a year, so here comes the updates. The biggest update that has happened to our little family was we were blessed with a beautiful baby girl who we named Nancy Ofa Ki New York Lapota. After my little sister who is currently serving her mission in New York! She made her debut on April 27th, 2013 at 10:15 am weighing in at 7lbs 4oz! 
She definitely was a big surprise, I mean her older brother was only 3 months when I found out I was pregnant again. You can imagine how I felt, pure embarrassment because I use to make fun of people who had their kids way close in age. Now I consider it a big blessing, because we finally have another diva in the house! I had two ultra sounds that confirmed she was a girl but until she came out I was still doubtful. I also had to ask my doctor to check to see if she was a girl when she came out! Lol.I actually refused to buy a thing until she came out and my hubby literally had to leave after I gave birth and buy her a car seat and outfit! This pregnancy felt like the longest but she was actually only 36 weeks and 5 days. I gave birth natural with no epidural like I did with Siupeli only because with Joon I got one and had back problems so I refused to get one with Nancy. Oh geeze can you say excruciating!!! I thought I was gonna pass out or literally die. I was at 8 1/2 dilated when I asked for a epidural but then sure enough I felt like I had to push, I pushed 3 times and baby girl was out! Super painful but totally worth it, seeing her beautiful face! I'm so happy I have a shopping buddy and my hubby is so in love with her, she definitely is daddy's little girl! I secretly think my hubby loves my kids more then I do, I mean he is always spoiling them but I know his kids are everything to him, his motivation to work hard to give them what they want. We love them just the same! I actually had to accept the fact I wasn't gonna be the only diva in the family lol but I am beyond happy she is here because now I can share moments a daughter and mother would instead of just with my sons! I say this is my last baby but hubby wants two more so we shall see! 
My lil LOVES! Siupeli, Paea Jr, & baby Nancy. A family of 5 now! I wouldn't trade for anything, they are my world!
