First week of school

Connor's first week was awesome. He loves school and can't wait to go back to school each day. He wanted to know why he can't go to school on the weekends. Let's hope this feeling for school always lasts. God answered are prayers again about his safety due to his allergies. Connor's teachers have gone beyond the call of duty. We are so blessed. They sent notices home with all the parents letting them know that there is a child with severe allergies in the nursery this year. They make sure all the kids wash their hands after and before snack. They have posted signs in the nursery building and outside telling people not to leave any food around. All of Connor's teachers are also getting special training in how to use the epi-pen. They got him a special plate at school different from the other kids to use during snack. The kids are very supportive of Connor's allergies too. We provide all his snacks so there is no worry of mistakes.
Thank you God! It is going to be a very exciting year. He is bringing paintings home already that he has done. I am going to have to get a container to keep all this special art in. Thank you for all your prayers on Connor's behalf and keep them coming. The teachers say it is a real pleasure to have Connor in class. He listens well,gets along with all the kids and is so excited to do everything. They said it is so nice to have a child in the class that is so excited to learn. Just had to brag a bit, proud mother syndrom. Hee! Will post pictures of his first day soon.

Special moments

On Thursday night Connor put his head on my tummy and sang to our baby. As soon as he was finished the baby kicked me. Connor was so excited and it was a very special moment. He nows sings to the baby all the time in hopes it will move. It is moments like that you want to be able to replay over and over. Connor is going to be such a wonderful big brother and we look forward to watching him with his new brother or sister. On that note Connor starts his first day of school tomorrow(Mon). He is so excited. I am nervous because of his food allergies, but know God will take care of him. Also the school is prepared for it too. It is emotional to take your child to school for the first time, but also exciting because of all the fun you know he will have. Cyrus took the day off so we could both drop him off and pick him up. Check out our blog later and we will let you know how the big day goes. Please pray for Connor's safety at school and for my peace of mind. Until later....have a great evening.

Baby's heartbeat

Yesterday we got to hear the babies heartbeat for the first time. That was so exciting for all of us. Connor really found that awesome. Our midwife said the babies heart sounded great. It was nice and strong. She also siad we have a very active little baby. I agree. It moves all over the place. I have been punted a few times. The baby is moving as I type. This is the best part of being pregnant. I love it! Our baby is growing at a good size and very healthy. We thank God all the time for our little one. God has blessed us with a healthy amazing little boy and now this new life growing inside me. Life is good. To all our pregnant friends and family out there. Hope all is well and keep healthy.

How time flies

Connor starts school on August 21st. I can't believe my baby is starting school. It seems like yesterdayI was holding him for the first time in the hospital. He is so excited and can't wait to start. When we went to enrolment day he looked at Cyrus and I and asked why we were still there. He is definitely ready and going to have no problems. I think its his mother that is going to shed a few tears that first day. Cyrus has taken the day off for moral support. Ha!! Then in the afternoon we are taking Connor to see the African Childrens Choir perform at the fringe festival. We hope to see Dave while we are there. Connor is in school for two and a half hours every morning Monday to Friday. We are really excited for him and know he will do well. He is so smart and such a good kid. We are proud parents. Hope you are all having a good week.

our baby

On Monday I started feeling our baby move. We are at 14 weeks and two days now. It is so exciting when you start feeling the first movements. Our baby was very active yesterday. Twice I am sure it was diving off the sides of my belly like a trampoline. This is my favorite part of the pregnancy. Connor and Cyrus can't wait until they can feel the movements. I am always amazed that we can actually grow another human in side of us. God is an amazing God and this is another sign of his true greatness. For all you pregnant women out there, enjoy this time with your baby and treasure every minute of it. Have a great day all.
