As you leave your keys you meet your replacement. You are asked to give this new teacher just ONE piece of advice. What would that be, and why? Enjoy your world expedition!

Welcome Leah Breanne Thomas!

Just wanted to let you know that we had our baby on November 5th at 12:29pm. Here are some pictures of her. We named her Leah Breanne Thomas. She weighed 6 lbs 2 oz and was 19 1/4". She was born three weeks early so we are keeping her at home for awhile until she is a little bigger. Sorry it has taken me so long to let you know. I have been busy with breastfeeding, MD appts, and everything else. I had a tubal after Leah was born and I have had some complications with the incision.
Thanks,
Jamie Thomas

P.S. I don't know how to load pictures on here but I'll bring them to class tomorrow! :)

Congratulations to you and your family on your new bundle of joy. Babies are a blessing from God, now you remember to take time out for yourself. Try to get 1/2 day a week for yourself and have your family members do the chores and you go enjoy yourself and the baby.
