5 months pregnant with my son

Two years ago this very month, I was anxiously awaiting the arrival of my son…with a c-section scheduled for the big day, I was nervous, excited, anxious…you name it, I felt every emotion imaginable. Then finally on December 30th at 1:15p weighing in at 7lbs, 6 ounces I came face to face with my precious angel….

Dear Lil B….

I could never imagine life without you. I would dream of you for so long. All my life I felt like I was chasing for something or someone.  I keep on filling that void with mindless, empty things.  Not knowing that the one thing around me had already represented you. Your dad. It took me 36 years to find you. But only after I stopped running you came along. You’ve helped me become a better person, a person that I never thought I could be.  You’ve given me the greatest gift I can ever know. The gift of motherhood.

This proud mama just couldn’t wait to share with you my son’s first day at nursery school. Its a drop-off program for two hours, twice a week. I kept telling myself over and over again that this will be good for him and…ME and that Lil B needs to be around other kids so that he can learn socialization and other fun stuff associated with school, but closer and closer towards the date, did I started feeling this queasy, bubbling sensation in the pit of my stomach.  Uh Uh my son is going to school…ahhhhh!!! What am I doing???!!

The night before, I planned out Lil B’s outfit, my outfit (of course!), shoe box filled with school supplies and of course a box of tissues – for me!

Thanks to Mabel’s Labels, a cool site for customized sticky and clothing labels, I left no area unmarked when it came to marking his territory, even down to his Pottery Barn Kids back pack!

I couldn’t sleep a wink since I was so anxious of my son meeting his new friends and teacher. Questions like Am I doing the right  thing? Am I staring him too soon? kept clogging my mind for hours on end.

Morning finally arrived and I couldn’t wait…after fighting to feed Lil B oatmeal, we then headed out to school. Being the first one to arrive (yes I am one of those) I had Lil B pose for several pics. Of course, Lil B not understanding what this hoopla was about, I realized that I had no reason to be nervous.  And I was right, Lil B now has new friends that are just as cute as he and are to settling into new territory.

Well, Day 1 went off without a hitch..let’s see what’s in store for Day 2..stay tuned for more updates and pics on my son’s adventures in Nursery School.
