Hello you guys, happy Friday! I am so excited to be writing this post for you guys because it is just a little life update since things have been a little hectic and you may not even know it!
Wedding
If you are following me on instagram you may have picked up that I am getting married in August of this year! So exciting, yes but I am not going to lie and tell you it is not stressful. With a baby, school, planning a wedding and just trying to get day to day things done it can get a little overwhelming sometimes. Luckily, we have actually already picked out the bigger things such as ceremony and venue locations before even having Joey so that made it much easier. Now we are just working to put together the details. I am taking you guys through a lot of the process on my instagram so if you want more details, follow me! I might do a wedding Q&A for you guys soon for anyone who might be having some questions!
School
I mentioned that we are doing school right now and yes BOTH Joe and I are going to school. This does look different right now because we are taking classes from home but this does make taking care of Joey a lot easier. I am a nursing major and Joe is an engineering major. Two totally different fields but they are equally challenging. I am actually only taking three classes right now but Joe is going to school full time. I am a previous Bradley University nursing student and I recently just took an exam to allow me to continue nursing at a community college near me. I am very excited to be able to start nursing back up again in the fall and can not wait. Even just prepping for the exam I recently took, I was getting excited because I had to look over so much anatomy and I am secretly such a nerd!
Right now I decided to take a lighter course load because Joey is still little and I knew that Joe would have a lot on his plate with school. He is killing it though and is very determined to finish. Recently, there have been so many nights that he stays up ALL night to get things done for school because during the day he wants to be a dad and spend time with our little man. We do have help from my mom which is great because during times that Joe is working on homework and I have to study/vice versa she watches him! It really is a blessing because otherwise it would be very hard.
Personal Feelings
I personally am just kind of soaking in this time of life we are in right now. I really take it one day at a time and consider anything we get done an accomplishment. Day to day our days look pretty similar and I just enjoy all the moments I get to spend with my little family. Even though now the three of us are home together basically everyday, I think I can say we all love it. I enjoy having Joe home everyday to help, sitting with him and working on homework or popping my head in while he’s working to say hi is something so small but it brings me a lot of joy right now.
Even though I am happy, I am also stressed… Stressed about starting nursing full swing up in the fall. Stressed about not being able to spend as much time with Joey because I will have to dedicate a lot of time to studying. Stressed because I am tired and things still have to get done (laundry, cleaning, homework, I want to workout, write a post, wedding plans….) but the day only has so many hours and sleep is also important. Joe and I try to split up our days pretty evenly, he watches him for 2 hours, we switch and then just keep alternating until bedtime. I definitely think we all sometimes feel good and keep going late into the night (because that is when it is most quiet and you can get most done…) but we forget that 5 hours of sleep every night catches up to you. I am definitely still learning how to manage my day and break it up to be as productive as possible. Mom life, what can you do… gotta pick between eat, shower, brush teeth, sleep or watch a movie because there are many days you can’t do it all haha
I started blogging and my instagram because I want to share my life with others in hopes that I inspire other moms and just women in general. I love sharing my life with you guys and the response I have been already getting is really amazing. I want to show you guys the ups and the downs because no one is perfect. We all have our bad days and a lot of times people do not know what goes on behind closed doors because people do not share it as much. I hope that everyone feels like they can message me about anything because I truly LOVE getting messages from you guys!
Thank you all so much for reading and I hope you have an amazing weekend!
-With love, Kasia
