Okay, before I head off to bed I've gotta do the tradtional first day post with pictures.
(And thanks to Photoshop you don't see the noticeable red mark on Zachary's forehead!)
Today went so much smoother than I anticipated and for that I'm grateful. Like I eluded in my previous post, I've had alot on my mind lately and one of my biggest concerns was Zach in school all day and eating lunch. When you spend every day of your life trying to keeping track of a child's blood sugar and every ounce of food they eat for 5 1/2 years, then all of a sudden having that child gone 6 hours everyday and relying on others to watch out for him is so scary for me!!! This has been keeping me awake at night! When I found out last week though that another child in Zach's class was also a diabetic and they would be little "buddies" everyday going to the nurse's office, it calmed my fears a lot! And after how well it went today, I realized that if I just take it one day at a time instead of worrying about the whole year, I think I'll survive.
Taylor and Zach had a great first day and they were so excited to go. I must say having the later start time for us will be wonderful---our morning was so smooth and not rushed and when we got to the school there was no traffic or huge crowds of parents and kids. I thought Zach would be a little apprehensive, but I swear those 2 kids lined up with their classes and never looked back---yeah for them!! Off they went into the building and Mason and I walked back alone to the car and when I got home to my quiet (but messy) house, I quickly remembered why I love my kids being in school!! Maybe I'll actually get some stuff done around the house now!
Oh yeah, wait a minute--silly me! This new freedom will quickly expire in several weeks when I have another baby! I wonder how our life will change in 10 weeks or less. Since my water broke with Mason at 36 1/2 weeks, I'm deathly afraid something like that will happen again, which means it's possible I could have this baby in only 6 or 7 weeks from now---yikes!!! Knowing my mom can't come to help out, the sleep deprivation that will take over and the anxiety I get those first few weeks is what worries me. I'm praying that it won't be as bad as I'm thinking it will be!

You guys have school at 9:30? What time do you get out? We go from 8 to 3, and it's horrible getting the kids up in the morning! Since I have let them take the bus they have decided they want to take it in the mornings too- it comes at 7! They sit in the school hall for 45 minutes reading books- you would think they'd rather have me drive them. Good thing is I don't have to put a bra on until I decide I'm ready to shower!! Nice picture I put in your head huh?!
DOn't worry! It's won't be as bad as you remember! Your kids are so darling!!
I can't believe that you are adding another baby so soon! It seems like you just had Mason and that he is still little but I know he is not! You are so lucky to have the later start time. I am not a morning person at all and I have to get the kids to the bus stop at 7:30 and I hate it. It is also hard that they get home at 2:30 and I kinda wich it was a little later in the afternoon. Oh well. Lucky you guys!
Oh it probably will be as bad as you think, but it will become easier. That is why you have all of us.
Second day was much better
