What a busy week we have had...we are headed to Disney World next week and it seems as though we have something going on every night up until the day we leave!! We are beyond excited, but man what a process getting ready!! I will be 33 weeks preggo when we leave and 34+ coming back! Peyton is so excited...I can only imagine his face when we get there!!! AHHHH!!! So excited!!

As for the ever growing belly, it has been a while since I updated with pics, so here it is at 30 weeks...


31 weeks....


32 weeks...
I think I am going to invest in some kind of belly support before our trip...I am hoping that will help with all the walking we will do! One more checkup and we will be on our way to the Happiest Place on Earth!!!

Peyton's School....

Well, I have not yet loaded belly pics from last week, so I may wait and do it Wednesday or Thursday!!! I will be 32 weeks....WOWZERS!!!

As or Peyton, today is our official first Monday! He started school on August 24 and our first two Mondays were off...one due to the hurricane and the other due to labor day! So this is our first official week!

These are seriously some of the hardest days, emotionally that I can remember! Each day I take this sweet little boy into school and watch as he "tries" to spread his wings! He is having a hard time with it and I would only hope it would get easier for both of us.

Today he went in like a big boy, put his folder away, snack in its cubbie and his tote bag where it belongs. He then went and got in line to wash his hands and waited his turn. After that I told him I was leaving and would be back to pick him up in a little while. He gave me a hug and a kiss and I walked out the door. I looked back and we waved bye to one another and off he went!

I go back to get him and I am completely expecting a great report seeing that our morning had gone so well...so imagine the shock I was in when the teacher told me he cried off and on for the first 45 minutes!!!!! AAAHHHHH!!!

I am so beyond upset...we have talked about taking him to two days or taking him out completely...in some ways I feel as though he loves school and other ways I am not sure he is ready! What is a pregnant (very emotional) mommy to do????

First Day of Pre K 3...

Finally our first day of Pre K 3...we have been talking about school for almost a year now...trying to tell him all about it and somehow it has come and gone...thankfully for me!!

Our first day was last Wednesday August 24! We have hyped it up about playing with playdoh, coloring, the playground, etc. I think it helped because he walked into his room with myself, Kevin and his Aunt Meggie and cousin Bailey watching from the hallway. I kept telling myself to be strong for him, but he had such a brave little face on and it simply broke my heart! Where had my baby boy gone?????

He went in and washed his hands as they begin each day with that and went to a table where he sat and did a Bob the Builder puzzle! Kevin and I told him that we were going to leave and he said "OK, love you" and gave us each a hug and a kiss...I could hardly believe it...I on the other hand had to put my sunglasses on because tears were streaming down my face, like they are as I type this....remembering his sweet, brave little self sitting there like such a big boy!!

His teacher said he had a great first day and he never shed one tear!!!!

Here are a few photos of my little guy before we left...He had to bring one of his little buddies along with him for the pictures...






So...after getting through our first day, school was canceled Friday and Monday due to Hurricane Irene....SO...today was like the first day all over again! He actually was upset today when I left, but Mrs. Edwards took him right up and calmed him down! I am hoping Friday goes smoothly for both of us....

29 weeks...

Last week in the 20's....wow...we went for a checkup on Tuesday and Peyton went with me! He got to be a helper and squeeze the "jelly" on my stomach! He thought that was pretty neat! The doctor says all is well...can't believe we are on the homestretch. Going to the doctor every 2 weeks makes it all fly by....not to mention all that is going on in life in general! Pre K 3, Hurricane Irene, the earthquake, hoping big changes with the business...AHHHH!!!



Peyton's first day of school coming soon....

What is Going on????

Wow...what a day we had today! Peyton and I have simply been enjoying our day together! It has been busy, but that is our life it seems!

So today is the day before Peyton starts PreK3 and I have been a bit out of sorts about it...We went to meet his teacher yesterday and he played in the room for about 20 minutes. He seemed to be pretty comfortable in there...we will see tomorrow!

Back to today...our day was very low key and our normal routine. We were getting ready to head out to a doctors appointment at 1:45 and I began to hear vases rattle....which I equated to Peyton jumping around....yet he was not jumping around....I began to get nervous so I stood up and my legs began to shake...."WHAT IS HAPPENING???" I grabbed Peyton and ran outside because I had no clue if our house was about to fall apart...Then I began to think I was dreaming because the outside world seemed calm.

We came back inside few seconds later and finally got in touch with Kevin who proceeded to tell me we had just had a tremor from and earthquake....????

I was a bit shaken as was Peyton...living on the East Coast you do not expect that...we are preparing for Hurricane Irene...not a darn earthquake!

Whew...glad it only lasted a few seconds!!!

27 & 28 weeks....

Here we are at 28 weeks and I feel like I just said wow...27 weeks! Another week has come and gone and this little guy is very active in his mommy's tummy!!
We went for a checkup last week and everything was great. I even got to drink that yummy orange drink for the glucose test...which I am assuming is fine since we have heard nothing from the doctor~no news is good news right???

Nothing much going on around here..just waiting for Noni and Popi to come in on Friday since Kev is going sailing for the weekend! Hopefully we will have a nice relaxing weekend...but we will miss Kev for sure. And now for the picture of the belly...

Here we are at 27 weeks...


Another 27 week.....


And here we are this week at 28 weeks...



28 weeks again...

I know I say it every week, but in 2 weeks we will be at 30 weeks!!!!! OMG!!!!

Emotions...

My emotions seem to be getting the best of me lately! It seems that every small thing, be it a positive situation or on the flip side is bringing me to tears.

In less than 2 weeks I will be dropping my baby boy off for his first day of school. That is something that is blowing me away. Where have these 3 years gone? Why do some days fell like they last an eternity, but you turn around and we are going to school???

I know that it will be great for him but my heart is going to ache on that Wednesday morning when I take him into his school and leave him! I just want to bottle him up and keep our little family just as it! It all seems so perfect right now and to think he is growing so fast scares me!!!

Hopefully after our first week or so I will adjust! I will keep you posted...until then I am enjoying every second of summer that we have left!
