Chicka Chicka Boom Boom! Looks What’s Going on in Our Room!

My precious angel is here!!! Hayden Bennett was born Saturday, July 26 at 2:06 p.m.  He weighed 5.4 pounds and was 19 inches long.  I was put in the hospital on Friday because I had severe preclamcia and had a section on Saturday. He was 5 weeks early and had respitory distress. He has been in the NICU Nursery and will be till he gets to go home.  I have not been discharged yet because I have Post-Partum Preclamcia and Pregnacy Induced Hypertension. I have been improving daily, as well as my precious baby boy!!!!

He is a MIRACLE!!! He is doing so much better every time that we get to see him!!! He is eating better, in a regular bed, and off all machines!!!! We pray daily that he keeps getting better and he gets to go home soon!!!  Family is a very precious thing to me. It will be very hard to leave the hospital without my baby, but also know that he is being well taken care of and will get to come home soon!!

Miracles are very precious and Hayden will always be very special to me. I just thought I would let you know about my special day Saturday and ask for your thoughts and prayers for Hayden to improve daily and come home soon!!

I have been trying to play around with my camera to see what all it can do. It has many different functions that I have always wondered about. During Tech Camp, Scott talked about digital photography and the many different kinds of cameras. My head has been spinning ever since about finding things to practice taking pictures of.  I took my little boy to the zoo and we sat in front of the polar bears for over 30 minutes so I could watch and try to take pictures. I got so carried away with the picture taking that I forgot to really pay attention to the two polar bears eating, swimming, and playing together.  Scott has a digital photography class three days this next week and it is full. I am hoping that everyone does not show up so that I can have a spot. I love taking pictures at home and at school.  Sometimes my friends tell me its time to put the camera down because I am constantly trying to take pictures!!

My grandmother has been sick and I have been spending a lot of time on the road to visit her and make sure she has what she needs. While on the road, I have done lots of thinking of school and how to incorporate a lot of what I learned at Tech Camp into my classroom as well as sharing it with other teachers.

I have two friends who I used to teach with who want to get together for me to explain how to create and continue blogs and wikis. I am excited because it will be my first chance to share/teach the information that I learned and others learn from me! We are going to get together and hopefully they will have a blog set up when we are finished.  Its hard sometimes to talk to others about how excited you are with the new information you have learned when they dont really understand what you are talking about. After we get together, we should all be on the same level and Im looking forward to being able to be excited about a new idea I have and my friends know exactly what I am talking about.

I missed the play date scheduled for the Tech Camp because I was with my grandmother. There is another one coming up soon…and I will be there! My list of questions is growing!
