Introducing Kelvey Lynn

Kelvey is here. She arrived on Tuesday morning in a whirlwind. My water broke at 7:15 and I called Ron to start home. After that it was crazy. We pulled out of the drive way at 7:40 with a very strong contraction. I thought we had plenty of time except we hit rush hour traffic. At this time I my contractions were very close together and painful. We got to the hospital at 8:05 thanks to the help of police officer escorting us. By 8:12 I was in the delivery room and Kelvey was born at 8:29, on August 28th. She was 5 pounds 1 and half ounces 17 and half inches long.

Baby Update

Well for those of you who haven't heard, on Thursday afternoon I was put on bed rest. It is not the kind of bed rest where I have to be in bed all day but I have had to stop working and stay home away from stress. The main reason for this is I am four weeks out and pretty close to delivering and Kelvey is not very big. So we are trying to give her a little more time to gain some weight. Everything is going well, just a little bored. I guess that's the price I need to pay to have a healthy baby. Hopefully I won't go stir crazy. My mom spent the weekend here feeding me and keeping me company and today I am on my own, but I feel really good this morning. The worst thing is just complete boredom and aches from sitting or laying all day. Have a great day!

Update

Ok things are now ready, I have a class lost and got to meet all my students today. Most very very excited about coming to my class so I was pleased. I will have them for an hour or two on Friday and start teaching full time on Monday. I am ready to start a routine for at least five weeks or so.

Kelvey update
Kelvey seems to be doing well and moves quit often. It is very hot so I get quit uncomfortable by the end of the day being on my feet. We keep saying how ready we are for her to get here. I just hope things go smoothly. They have so far. Besides the back ache and achy feet at the end of the day, I feel pretty good just very tired. I guess I better get used to it.

Back to the swing of thing

It has been a crazy start to a new school year. I was told on Friday that I would need to change grade levels from Kindergarten to Second grade. I was supposed to start teaching on Monday but since I did not have my room prepared for second grade they are giving me a week to prepare. Thank goodness!! After two days of switching out furniture and decorating, I am now ready( I think!). At first I was worried about the change and knowing that I would only be there for a few weeks, but I am looking forward to the older students. After all I have taught that grade before. Wish us luck!
