I Am Officially a 5th Grade Teacher!

Well it has been a crazy first 12 days of school. I started the year as a 4th grade language teacher and everything was going great, then we had more Kindergartners register and I was told that I had to go to K, it was an emotional day but knowing me by the next day I was ready to be a K teacher. Then I was all but tackled by a 5th grade teacher who wanted me to take her class and let her go back to K (she had taught it for 9 years and just wanted a change). However, she just didn't like it. So we worked things out and shge went to K and I went to 5th grade language. So, my first 7 days were in 4th grade and were awesome, then I had the next 5 days in 5th grade and they were awesome! In fact, I even did learning stations (centers) last Weds. and Thurs. I would love to post some pics but unfortunately I do not yet have my new classroom decorated yet, but hopefully soon!

Louie, the Boxer

Buster is 4

Our 2nd little blessing, Hilton Isaiah, was born 3 weeks early via an emergency c-section also because of preeclampsia. He was already 8lbs8oz and spent 9 days in the NICU because of a spontaneous pneumothorax (popped right lung); he also had a heart murmur and had to have a blood transfusion his very 1st night. Poor guy suffers from febrile seizures, and also took physical therapy for about a year b/c of delayed gross motor skills. We are so thankful to have this little man blessing our lives.

Puppy is 2

Our 3rd blessing, Weston Julian, was born 5 weeks early via another C-section because of preeclampsia. This pregnancy was a rough one: at 24 weeks I started having severe stomach pains and at 28 weeks had an emergency umbilical hernia surgery, and have been on bed rest ever since because of preeclampsia. At 32 weeks I started having daily headaches and frequent migraines (at least 2 a week). At 33 weeks our ultrasound technician discovered my amniotic fluid was decreasing and he was not showing much growth, so now we started twice a week visits and at least 1 ultrasound each week to keep a closer eye on him. We are incredibly thankful that our last little blessing arrived safely and weighed 5lbs 13oz and did not have to go to the NICU.
