SS/AW: My son is 1 week old today :) *Updates* Also, advice from teachers...

Alexander is 1 week old today and has been doing an amazing job in the NICU.
This is a site we started to update family/friends. Daddy made his first journal entry today to update with yesterday's good-ish news.

Also, Fellow Teachers:
Since Alexander decided to come early, and in the city where my husband was working, I've had to resign from my teaching position. I'm going back to my school on Tuesday to turn in keys and say goodbye to my students (2nd grade). I'd like to get them a little something. I feel so bad for leaving so close to the end of the year. Any ideas on what I could get them? I'm at a loss at the moment.

    So glad your son is doing well! I think your kids would love some awesome bakery cupcakes or cookies. Plus, no prep work for you since you need to focus on your little man.

    Happy to hear of his improvements. Praying for more and more!

    As far as a gift for your students. I teach 5th and had to go on leave three weeks ago. My students have written me letters, made crafts, and sent drawings to me. I decided to add them in on celebrating our LO instead of a goodbye gift. I found an ABC book on Pinterest which is suggested as a shower activity. Your guests (students in my case) pick a letter page and draw and color a picture of something that begins with that letter. At the bottom of the page there is a "Created by" signature line. Once the pages are all complete you can have them spiral bound for baby's first ABC book. My students will complete the book creation after their standardized testing is over in two weeks. They love to be involved!

    I have given highlighters before and attached a little note that said "you're the highlight of my year!" Kids will love using these in school too!!

    Congratulations on continued progress with your son. I hope he continues to grow and get healthy enough to leave the NICU soon. I wish you the best as you adjust to being a mom and caring for your son. You are so thoughtful for getting your students a gift, since you are going to need by tomorrow, I'd say just go to 5 Below or a dollar store and get balls or bubbles, or packs of crayons, or pencils. It is very thoughtful, but you are busy and probably have so much going on, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Good luck.

    I don't think you have too much time, but do you have a photo of you and your class? I always print a photo card for my class (third grade) and it says "Thanks for a great year!" They love them every year. I always send mine 1 hour to Walgreens.

    Keep us posted on you and your little one!
