First Day of Pre-K

Preston started his first day of Pre-K at Primrose on August 22, 2016, he is just over 4 1/2 years old. This will be his last class at Primrose (plus he has to now where a Primrose Uniform) and then he will start Kindergarten at Pullen Elementary August 2017. I can't believe he is about to be done with Primrose, he started there when he was just 3 months old and has gone almost everyday since then. He is a quick learner and fast thinker. He likes to be the best (#1) at everything and it he completely runs circles around Brent and I! Change is hard for him and he was a little uneasy about starting in a new classroom but after about a week he started to cry less and then he started to enjoy his new Pre-K class. The teacher encouraged all the parents to bring a family picture so they could put it on the Family Tree and after that, he went into class much easier, he said "Mommy, I get to see you and Daddy all day when I look at our picture!" 

Love you so much Bub, you and Parker are the biggest blessings to me and your Daddy!

Preston's T-Ball Party

Preston finished his T-Ball season with a team party at Cici's in Rockwall where the boys got awarded their metals! Parker was just a week old and it was our first family of 4 event to go to. Preston was excited to see his teammates and to receive his metal. His favorite team mate was Hudson and the two of them had a blast together. Their Coach gave each of them their metal and then the boys celebrated with baseball cupcakes.

Our Hospital Stay

I was pretty exhausted by the time everyone went home the day Parker was born. My mom stayed with me the first night because lets face it, I wouldn't be able to handle Brent's snoring all night. That evening, I ate dinner and tired to snooze in-between breastfeeding and getting my vitals checked. The nurse came in at 3am to give Parker his first bath and he absolutely loved it when the nurse started to wash his hair. Because it was 3am, I could barely hold my eyes open so I didn't get any pictures but she fixed his hair in a cute mohawk! Luckily for me Parker slept from 3am to 6am so I was able to get some sleep but I kept waking up thinking he would be waking up soon to eat but he never did until 6am. 

The next morning, Parker was seen by the hospital Pediatrician, passed his hearing test and got circumcised by Dr. Grisham. To our surprise, Dr. Grisham said we could leave that evening if we wanted to. At the time, it seemed like a good idea but we probably should have stayed that extra night because that evening when we got home, Parker seemed hungry and my milk hadn't come in yet and we struggled with the idea that Parker was starving. The second night was a long one but we made it through and my milk finally came in on the 4th day. 

When we left the hospital Parker weighed 7lbs 1oz and had a jaundice level of 6.
