Camilla in class plus baby updates

Slowly but surely, this girl is learning how to be around kids. I still feel bad that I have mentioned or introduced to her the word "shyness" because she labels herself as such most of the time. I am trying to be more careful this time and use better words. 

She's had a few besties. There was Emma when they played. Sanayra when they played. But I guess Ella and Isla were her somehow more constant besties. She looks forward to them school, plays with them usually the most too. There are still times when she distances herself with the other kids as ahe doesn't know still how to approach them or start a conversation with them. Unless the other kids come up to her first, she would most likely be in her own bubble lurking and watching other kids-which is fine. Again no pressure. I am happy to see these little ones hug before saying good bye, being silly right before their nap time as I pick Camilla up, and wave farewell to their classmate. Warms my heart each time. 

It's been a smooth drop off since we found the trick to make her feel comfortable each time. What we do is we come in early, before there are kids in her room. I stay a bit untile her classmates transfer to their classroom around 730am. We would play with the abaccus first, or the puzzles, or I will watch her color, or play simon says within their circle time. When her classmates enter their room, we then hug and say our good byes. Thank you Lord for this! 

It would have been smooth but there are a lot of time when she had to skip school because she has gotten the cold and the cough. A few times it happened especially at the start of the spring season when colder temp hit us. Around October we even had to bring her to a doctor to rule out covid since she has chills and fever. She tested negative at that time. She is still on and off from class, eventhough she only goes to class three times a week, sometimes she would miss a day or two. Hopefully it gets better.

Pregnancy update, still don't have an official name for baby boy. I am not sure if I've mentioned it already but yes, a boy! I had dreamt about him (just like Camilla), I was sort of positive about it and now it is official. Baby number 2 feels way different than baby number 1. He gives me stronger nausea, stronger pain within the pubic area, more appetite, more tiredness. 

During my 27th week, I started seeing some spotting. Pabic alert we rushed to the Labor and Delivery center but they said all is normal. Blood is normal, baby is active and normal, no contractions or pain either. Had my regular OB visit after 5 days and ultrasound also looked normal. I am in my 30th week and I have a feeling I know what it is so I had to get that checked and looked into.

Aside from the spotting, well, still have the SPD so sleeping is a pain, sitting and walking and changing most of the time are still uncomfortable. Belly tightens when I am tired so I have to rest when that happens. Omg the kicking and punching and turning in my tummy are always intense. I have a boxer inside me! It's my 7th month and I feel it more and more. Camilla loved stretching, this boy loves punching and kicking at the same time. Camilla and Martin felt the movements already which is great and dada agrees, this boy is intense. 

Taking it always one day at a time. Thank you Jess for making me strong for both ate and the baby. My body most of the time feels way weaker and easily tired but You always give me the strength to carry on. We can do this! Stay strong and healthy baby boy. Ate and dada and mommy will see you in 2 months.
