Yesterday I went to visit my OB - regular appointment.... but I had the surprise to learn that I had a bit of high blood pressure which I never had the other three pregnancies. However, it is no critical to the point that I need bed rest or be admitted at the hospital or be on medication. So praise God! But I still need to slow down, don't do too much and relax... MMmmmM! So no running around anymore... No doing too much either I guess.
So if you read this, I would appreciate some prayers to control this and for me to learn to slow down. We have decided to slow a bit the pace for homeschool since we have the feeling that Alexandre is a bit in advance... and I want to keep things until May or June. He is more than half-way in his MathUSee and half way the second book for the reading program in French.... Can't go in book 3 yet since it is for grade 2... So it won't hurt him to have a few days off - or weeks off I guess. I will do a couple of things in the morning but not as much as before.
Gymnastics is finished for the Fall. Winter session starts in January but since I can't drive for 5-6 weeks... well I decided it would be better not to overdo it. So hopefully there will be space in the Spring session...
It is hard for mommy to take it easy, isn't it? I am glad that your son is doing well in his studies. Have a great day.

It's nice to read an update on how things are going. You need to slow down and take it easy for the next couple of weeks~ sounds like Alexandre will be fine working at a slower pace for awhile and it will be nice with the holidays coming.

I'm taking something called Garlacin that you can find at a healthfood store. The one I'm taking is the red one, which has hawthornberry, cayenne, garlic, vit E and rutin. This is keeping my BP at a nice level.. without medication - which I usually have to take in pregnancy.
ReplyDeleteand just wanted to ask (don't want to undermind your authority - you're the mama) but why not let Alexandre do book 3? If he's ready, doesn't matter if he's in Gr 2 still. My first two boys finished their K to 6 Math program by early Gr 5, and went on to other math. My oldest is 15 doing Linear Algebra (Algebra 2) and my second is just about to turn 14 and he'll start Algebra in the new year - having nearly completed his Geometry course. My third son had difficulties with the divisions, so he's in 5th grade, and will finish the K to 6 Math this year.. All kids are different.. if Alexandre is ready.. why not let him fly
(just another opinion.. that you didn't ask for lol)
