Prior School Week!
The other week was short and sweet :) I would love to have more weeks like it. Monday he was not feeling well so he stayed home from school and went to the doctor. Jeremiah was having issues with allergies. The doctor put him on a second allergy medicine. Both medicines have a side affect that cause sleepiness. And boy do they make him sleepy. After his doctor appointment, I had a email about a job that I had applied for that morning. I emailed back and got a interview for that afternoon. The interview went so well that I got hired on the spot. The next morning Jeremiah got up and was extremely fussy and moody. After debating back and fourth, we got him in the car and took him to school. We let him decide when he got to school, if he wanted to go and he got out and went in with no problems. Much to my surprise Jeremiah had an amazing day at school and then after school he did horseback riding. While he was at school, I got m tb test done for work. Wednesday we were back in full swing of our week but with Jeremiah being more drowsy than I'm use to. School went great and then we had therapy after school. During Jeremiah's school day on Wednesday, I got my fingerprints done. Thursday was magical also, with him having a good day at school and than going to therapy. Wahoo, I'm one happy mama. While Jeremiah was at school on Thursday, I went to the doctor to get my tb test read and I went to turn in my paperwork for my new job. I'm getting so excited. Just one day left of the school week. On Friday, he was suppose to go to the Zoo with school. The weather here was not going to be awesome. Actually it was calling for rain and we had some tornado warnings. Jeremiah does not do well with change so we stayed home. It did not rain but we had a relaxing day. This week may have been the best week of school so far. So proud of my little mess.
In the beginning... My Pregnancy!!!!
I was eighteen when I found out I was pregnant and was going to have a baby. As a late teenage, I had just graduated high school, enrolled in the local community college (Forsyth Technical Community College), looking forward to starting at two year school and than transferring to a four year school (the school in particular- Liberty University), and was having lots of fun. I was very involved in church and was very surprised. At Forsyth Technical Community College, I was going to get my associates in Applied Science in Early Childhood Education with a concentration in Special Education. Special needs children are my passion and have been since high school. The same month I was to start classes I found out I pregnant. To say the least 2004 was a big year in my life. In May I graduated and in August I found out I was pregnant. I planned my first doctor appointment. I found this to be a scary moment in my life. Little did I know I would have many more scary moments during my pregnancy and after my child was born. I faced things like how to tell my parents, what was going to happen next, and many other thoughts. I had morning sickness really bad. I will never forget the day my parents found out about my pregnancy (my buddle of joy). I was in the shower puking my guts out and my mom was in bed with a hurt back. She heard me getting sick and wanted to know what was going on. That was the moment that I told my mom, my mom immediately told my dad to get a pregnancy test. I than preceded to tell her that I had already took a pregnancy test two days before and it was positive. My mom yelled, was mad, and began to call to tell everyone she knew. My dad was my comforter. He told me everything would be okay and hugged me. A few weeks after letting my parents in on my big secret, I had my first OBGYN appointment scheduled to see how my pregnancy was going. A couple days before the appointment, I woke up in a puddle of blood on 8/19/2004. It was one of the scariest moments of my life. I was deeply upset and scared I had miscarried. My mom helped my though this tough experience by jumping into action and calling my doctors. The doctor office got me in for an emergency appointment. At the doctor office, the nurse checked me out, we listened to the heart beat, and did a ultrasound. The baby looked fine and I felt at ease. At this time my mom calmed down about my pregnancy and was excited to be involved in all my appointments. And that was my first doctor appointment. More to come later... Keep checking back to follow this amazing but lengthy story....
