Jayden and Kindergarten

So my big boy started kindergarten. His first day of school was on August 25th, 2010. While it was an emotional day I didn't cry, trust me I wanted to but in the end I held it together. Jayden has been waiting for the past three years to go to school. He never had the chance to go to headstart or preschool so this is his first time in a learning area away from me. It is bittersweet. He loves school though! The first day I dropped him off to school and he didn't want me to :( we first had to meet in the gym for back to school orientation, Jayden sat on the ground and about 10 minutes into the gathering he looks at me and says "when are you going to leave?" while sad it was kinda funny too. I ended up walking him to class and stayed for a few minutes. He kept saying "it's alright mom, you can go now" he'd give me a hug and a kiss and reassure me that everything was going to be okay. One of the kids was hysterical, he sobbed and sobbed. He layed on the floor with his hands over his head and just cried his poor little heart out. It was sad. Jayden came home on the third day and said the same little boy cried that day, not once but twice. Poor thing. Also, on the first day one of the moms was hysterical and I felt bad for her as well. It is hard seeing your baby leave and go to school. On the third day Jayden got in a little trouble, the teacher (mrs. gregory) said that he needs to learn to keep his hands to himself but he is a very sweet boy and he puts in great effort. I'm excited about this school year, and i'm going to give frequent updates about his kindergarten experience and progression.

Baby Update!!!

On August 23rd we had a level 2 ultrasound, basically because in the first ultra sound that we had the babys kidneys looked enlarged and they wanted to check my placenta around the ambilical cord. I wasn't really nervous about it, honestly at first I was because of delivering Jayden early BUT in my gut and in my heart I knew my baby was alright. I was actually more excited then anything because at the first ultrasound the baby was being uncooperative and wouldn't let us know if it was boy or girl. Well this ultrasound we found out that we are having a GIRL :) i'm so happy I know know what our baby is. Honestly it wouldn't have bothered me not knowing if I had things for the baby, but since it's been 5 years since I had Jayden and no longer have any of his baby baby stuff, it was neccessary to know...and i'm so glad. I would have been happy with either boy or girl, but now i can say i have my boy and my girl. Many people dream of having one of each and don't get that chance so i'm considering myself lucky....We are naming her Kinleigh Marie...Ronnie's sister Tessa is the one who introduced the name to us, and i grew to love it completely. Ironically we found out that we are having a girl on Tessa's bday. She was thrilled that we got to find out on her birthday, this is her first neice and she considered it a great bday present. As far as the rest of the ultrasound it went great!!! the doctor and the ultrasound tech said that Kinleighs' kidneys look perfect and that my placenta was great too, they checked out other things to make sure everything looks normal and they said that as far as they could see everything looked just fine. That is such a relief to hear. I will love what ever god blesses me with, but to know that she appears healthy makes me so happy!! Since I had Jayden 10 weeks early the doctor said that my regular doctor may have me take shots once a week to help prevent me from going into preterm labor. To tell you the truth I am scared to death. I hate needles, I cringe when I have to take blood or any of that stuff, but he said it will be up to my doc and that she may not even recommend it for me. considering this is my second child and honestly don't know why I went into labor early with Jayden they may just play it out and see if I can go full term on my own. I hope that is the case, but i will do what i have to make sure this baby is born as close to on time as possible. I'm just glad that I can finally start calling my baby by HER name :) and can't wait to buy all the girlie stuff!!
