15 Weeks and Preschool Woes...

Well, I was 15 weeks yesterday. I really promised myself to do better w/ belly pictures. I still love to look at mine from when I was pregnant w/ Andon. Sweet memories. I only have a few of when I was pregnant with Brycen so I really want to make it an effort to get as many as I can with this third (and def. our last) child.
Being the great big brother that he is :)

the 15 week belly... and just for comparison

Here is me last year at 15 wks and 2 days w/ Andon.

Bigger? Smaller? I go back and forth. I don't feel as big, but from this picture I think I look bigger now... who knows! It doesn't really matter as long as this baby is healthy!
I go to Dr. Reisinger for a check up today... I'll let ya know how it goes :)
So, this is Brycen's 2nd year of pre-school. He started daycare at 6 months and went to pre-school at that same place last year. He loved it. Due to quite a few different reasons I decided to switch him to a new school this year. His BFF wasn't going to be at their old school anyway so I thought now was my time to make the switch. It works better w/ our schedule and just a few other reasons as well, but that's the main one. I LOVE the new school. I am so happy with it. Brycen loved it the first two weeks as well. I was so excited b/c our adjustment had went well and so smoothly... I had been nervous, but obviously for no need. Um, Think Again. After the 2nd week is when B was in the wedding. He saw his old teachers at the wedding and reception... A conversation went on. His third week of school he started saying "I hate school" and "I don't want to go to school"... first off he got scolded for saying "hate" and then I started trying to figure out why. Let's just say that's been two weeks and I'm about at my wits end. I don't want him to "hate" school. And it makes me so sad that he tells me his belly hurts every morning and I have to leave him there while he is sad. I also know that we don't like everything about this world and that he will be going to Kindergarten next year... and if he doesn't like that, it's just too bad, he has to go anyway. I know that he is being well cared for at his new school and I'm not at all concerned for his safety, but my heart breaks that he isn't happy there. I can't get one exact thing out of him that he doesn't like... one day it will be lunch, the next day it's rest time, and the next it's a problem with the toys (he doesn't like them?). So obviously nothing major, but it seems pretty big to him. If he was a clingy child or one that cried not go before I'm sure this wouldn't concern me I would just know that's how he is... but he is sooo NOT like this. He is very easy going and layed back. He does say he loves his teachers... so I just don't know what the problem is. His teachers said he hasn't gotten in trouble (not even scolded) one time, that he is the best behaved child there (that makes momma happy!). I just don't want him to hate school and not learn what he is supposed to or just be miserable all the time, but I don't know what to do to "make" him like it either? Any suggestions? HELP ME!! I'm so emotional anyway and this just makes me cry!

ohhh sweet boy. I'll be praying for his transition to feel like it's okay to like the old school and the new school at the same time.

Poor guy, Grace was like that when she went to Preschool, something different and new, didn't really know anyone, cried when I left & I mean CRIED, but eventually we stuck it through and she LOVED IT.
I am sure that he will be fine, it prolly just seeing his old teachers that made him remember last year. Glad to see some belly pictures. I think I looked like that the day before I found out I was preggers w/ the girls.hehehe.

Hope to see you guys this weekend at Turkey Trot:)

I think you look smaller this time too. But your belly is @ the same spot...so maybe another boy...but like you said...as long as he/she is healthy and you stay healthy that's all that matters!! Can't wait to hear about your doc. app!

you look great! no stretch marks??? I am totally jealous!

Shannon said...

Ok so I am officially jealous! You have no stretch marks and this is your 3rd pregnancy! So not fair! Im on my first and I look like a road map! :-)
I think your a tad bigger this time but that could also be because you got pregnant again so fast that you werent back to your normal size before maybe?

You are too stinkin cute...then and now! I hope your appt went well and I hope you are feeling better. I'll be praying for Brycen...poor thing. I'm sure it's hard for you to leave him when he's upset.
