What A Week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a week!!!! This past week has been a trying one for me. Trying to be everywhere at once and being there for everybody.  First, Matthew gets sick at school with a 48 hour stomach flu.  HORRIBLE!!  Which of course I didn't get any sleep what so ever.  Luckily for us he was better by that Sunday for "open house" at Nancy Reynolds.

Nancy Reynolds is a  BEAUTIFUL school, Matthew is going to love it!!  They are having a Pre-K so he'll start there this fall as long as there is enough students.  YEAH!!!!

Here is a picture of Matthew's classroom.  As you can tell it's empty because fall of 2010 will be the first class.  His room has there own bathroom and laundry room.  My baby is growing up.

This is the kindergarten class room.  Notice the "chalkboard", my the times have changed.

And of course, Matthew's favorite place-The Library.  Matthew was still a little under the weather when we visited here but the books got his attention.

 Now for the BIG news!!!!!!  Matthew has a new baby cousin born the following Monday at 1:15am.  My sister wanted our mom and me to be there with her and her husband, so of course she decides to go at midnight with me only having about 5 hours sleep since the Friday before.  She had an interesting labor, 3hrs and 15 mins. long.  When she got to the hospital, Jacob's head was already out so she had NO PAIN MEDS.  She was a trooper though like always.  And like always I missed this birth to, got there right at 1:15am, just like I missed Nathan's (her first) due to Bradley thought he was having a heart attach and we were in the ER during that delivery.  At least I get to witness my own.

Jacob Christopher was 7lbs 11oz and 20 3/4" long.  He's a really good baby too.  Nathan loves him to pieces.

Matthew didn't know what to think about little Jacob, he did kiss him a couple of times but didn't want to hold him.  While I fed Jacob, Matthew sit beside of me the whole time with his hand on my leg.  He's slowly learning he's not the baby anymore but once he got used to Jacob, Matthew started playing again with Nathan.  (just like boys)

After the birth I went back home and got Matthew ready for his first dentist appt. and back to Winston I go.  His appointment went really well and he done so good.  He actually enjoyed it so now we're going every 6 months.  Once I dropped Matthew back off at school I went home for some sleep (at this point I'm going on 8 hrs since Friday) but to no avail an hour into my sleep I get up sick with the stomach flu which made me feel like I was dying.  Laying beside the toilet in the bathroom is no fun.  Finally after a couple of days we're all back to normal and caught up on sleep.

Matthew is also getting prepared to move up a class at preschool, which is a good thing.  He's starting to miss his friends and with the younger kids coming into his class he's not getting all the stimulation and encouragement from kids his age and he starting to act like he's still a baby.  I talked to his pediatrician about this because we were worried thinking it could be the "Jourberts" but according to her this is all "normal"and could last for a couple of months.  Toddlers HATE change.

Til next time
