It's so hard to say goodbye...

Tweet

It is so hard to say goodbye, but isn't it for everyone? Today, I closed the doors to my daycare for the last time. It was heartbreaking for me to watch the children leave one last time. I sit her cying as I am writing this, sad because it is over, but I know it is for the best for my health and family. My heart is broken but time will heal. I will keep in touch with these children and their parents, some of which I have had in my precious care since they were 6 week old babies. I look forward to seeing the children continue to grow and progress. So, instead of goodbye I will say see you later and have a good day!
Always,
Mrs. Jacquelin

It's Official: I'm closing my daycare

Tweet

With much prayer and thought put into my (our) decision as a family, I am closing my daycare. It is for the best as my body is not able to keep up with the pregnacy changes and caring for 12 cildren 10+ hours a day, plus my own four for the rest of the day. My body just can't keep up and having the complications from this are not worth the risk to my baby or myself. So my last day of work will be on the 30 April, just 10 short days from now. Its been fun and I have enjoyed every moment;all of the kids who have passed through my door will always have a special place in my heart!

30 days from today...

We have our 18th week ultrasound. I am so excited and can hardly wait to find out the gender of our little bean growing inside. I have been able to feel the baby fluttering around since 12 weeks, what a great feeling! Boy or Girl we will all be so happy to know so that we can officially start calling the baby by his or her name. Still quite undecided about a girls name, but it will come once I see the baby on the screen. 30 days and counting....

I'm back

Sorry for the delay in updating the blog. Life is good on the homefront as well as daycare. God is doing AWESOME things in our life these last few weeks even when others or things try to bring us down. It has been busy here and I have been extremely tired at the end of the day thanks to our newest bundle of joy growing and developing inside me, Caffey baby #5!!!(no, I am not praying for a boy, just a healthy baby) Craving pancakes and salads too, hmmm. I guess it could be worse. I will have the January totals done this weekend and catch up with February. I do have to say that this week I went over budget big time and I didn't take pictures because I was SO TIRED. I know you are not supposed to go to the store when your hungry, let alone when you are a pregnant,hungry lady with 4 little ones in tow, but I did because I needed to get the shopping done. Yea, not a good idea. But we live and learn, right?. Until next time....

PS. To my pleasant surprise I have 4, yes 4 followers. Thanks all I can't wait to check out your blogs and comment.
