Default So many new things happening!

Life is about to go into another transition!
My Savanah turned 5 Sunday! So crazy...She starts school on Monday We walked around her school for a little while yesterday. She just grinned and bubbled over with excitement. I, on the other hand, can wait. Luckily I don't work Mondays so I can sit home and cry all day **
Anyone have problems transitioning their child into Kindergarten? Any advice?
And then my Ayden...he just turned 2 on July 12th. He finally had his 2 year check up and weighs 32 lbs and is 3 feet tall. My little man, getting huge fast He is talking more and more in full sentences everyday, sometimes suprising me to the point of tears!!!
After all I am super emotional these days! I'm currently 18 weeks and 2 days pregnant. Things are flying by, it's just crazy. I have been feeling great! I am starting the worrying though...I keep hearing all these stories of preterm labor Ugh!
I think I decided on the name Irelynn for a girl...haven't got too much farther on that!

Happy Birthday, Savanah!

Honey, it is your hormones talking. Pg will do that to a normal lady.

Yes, the first day of kindergarten is pretty momentous.
I cried too. It's a Mom thing.

Aren't you so proud that you have her going to kindergarten now!

Roots and wings parenting.

You are starting the wings part of parenting w/ that first day at school.

Congrats!

Yes, it is a biggie. I think when it is your first, it signals to you that a whole new age of parenting is beginning.

It's a blessing. Enjoy it.

Happy Birthday Savannah!
I'm sure you'll be fine once you get used to the idea, sure it could take some time, but think of all the new exciting things she gets to experience. (((HUGS)))
and I love the name you have picked out... its beautiful. Is there a nickname you would use? Or do you prefer full names?

I was thinking ** the name Irelynn Grace, so maybe call her Gracie for short *which I think is so adorable!*
Thanks all for the words ** support! Being a mom is such a blessing but it can also break your heart!
