Today was the last day I was going to have my baby Jayden, and it was sad to know. So before having 5th period today, Jayden and I spent our last memories together. It was sad to know that he didn't cry, but it was okay, because he was going to do better in life. We had lunch together, and he slept well. Until came 5th period, and it was time to say our last "goodbyes". I gave him a hug, and then handed him to my teacher. To be honest today, I missed my baby "Jayden Jay". <3

On Monday morning we attended school, early. At first I had thought my child was gonna be taken away from me so soon, but turns out I had him for another day. So, I was determined to make the best of it. During school we had a blast, Jayden only cried a few times. Yet, during intervention one of my teachers was nice enough to baby sit for 45mins. After that we were ready for last period and home. Once we got home, Jayden, Lilly, and I were searching for places to buy shirts for Marissa. We were giving up, until my sister finally found us a place and my Mom decided to take us there to see what prices they could give us. As we were there, we finally got the shirts and design on how we wanted them, and Jayden was behaving really good. After having the shirts done with two hours, we decided to visit my Grandma from my Dad's side. Getting there my grandparents asked about Jayden, and so did my uncles. I explained to them, and they understood. We were there for a pretty long while, but we had fun conversations. Then, my Mom decided we should go home and get some sleep, because we had to go to school early again. So we got home, and I put Jayden to sleep, and we both slept like babies.

March 25, 2012

We woke up pretty early Sunday morning, because I had to attend CCD. During that time I had a baby sitter, then I had gone home to pick him up so we could go to church. Throughout church he didn't cry, which was pretty good of him. After church, we went to pick up a close friend of mine so that we could go eat a peter piper. Once we got there, there were a lot of people looking at me the whole time. Only one person was brave enough to come and ask me about my child. After eating we had been getting ready to go attend my friends viewing, so I need a place for my child to stay, and what better than to leave him with my Grandma. So she took care of him the time I was over there paying my respects. Then after, my mom and I went to go pick him up, so that we can go to the store together. Let me tell you, there was a lot more people looking at me, again. At first I was pretty shy, but this is my child I decided to have him so I should love him. We finally came back home, to eat once more before going to sleep. The next morning was school, so we went to sleep early. He cried about five times during the night, and I was tired yet I payed attention to him.

On Saturday, Jayden and I woke up in a better mood than last night. After we both were done getting ready, we ate some egg and treat tacos. Yet, we had to hurry and eat faster. The reason for that was, because I had an appointment for drivers ed. I needed to make sure he was feed and well taken care of by my sister, because I would have to be leaving him with my sister for 2 hours. During those two hours of driving I missed my son, Jayden Jay. Then I came back home, and took care of him more. We both watched movies, and ate pizza with my family. After having a wonderful day spent with my child, Jayden and I took a nap. The nap didn't last long, and we had plans on going bowling with friends, but we did not go. So with the time remaining before going to sleep again for another day, Jayden and I ate and showered. Then came time to hit the hay, so we did.

March 23, 2012

Today Jayden and I woke up on time for school, and began having a good day. We went to first period and he began crying for his bottle, then 20 mins. later he began crying. He hadn't cried as much throughout the day, until 3rd period. Until 4th period, Jayden and I got terrible news, one of my close friends died this morning, and we both cried. We haven't been doing so well this afternoon, but we both have our lovely beautiful friend Marissa in our hearts. At around intervention we both left home early, because my head hurt from all the crying, and I couldn't take it. So Jayden and I went home to remember Marissa. After we got home we were watching the news, and felt broken. So then after midnight, we both decided to go to sleep, because we couldn't take it. He cried a few times during the night, but my mom helped me out with Jayden.

   Thursday was a really good day for Jayden and I. Throughout school, he had cried about eight times, but I already knew what he wanted so it was a piece of cake taking care of him. We both walked around school, and he was covered with a blanket. My teacher even commented on how I take good care of Jayden, and how I am the only person with the baby that respects it. Then after school, we both were about to walk home, but one of my friends took us home. Jayden and I were hungry, but we decided to go walking to the bakery and buy pan dulce. We got home and ate, while watching movies. Then around seven I got tired, so Jayden and I took a nap. The nap lasted around two hours, and Jayden didn't cry at all which was really good. Then once I woke up, my little bundle of joy woke up too, for his bottle. After his bottle of course he asked to burp, then I had to change his diaper a few times before he fell asleep with me again. Throughout the whole night Jayden only cried three times, and finally let me get some sleep. We both woke up on time for school the next morning.

March 21, 2012.

Wednesday, Jayden Jay and I didn't attend school, because I lacked sleep. Jayden wouldn't stop crying, because he kept wanting food and burped every 20 mins. We both stayed home, and caught up with sleep. Yet, when we both woke up we decided to eat and watch movies together. Then Jayden slept through the afternoon, while I started working on my homework for the next day. Later that night, Jayden had woken up and he was to be fed and burped. Diaper changing was needed like four times every 2 hours. Although, he at night he stopped crying so much, therefore I got to sleep throughout the night, and was reading for the next day. 

3/20/12 :)

Today I woke up feeling really lazy for school, because of how many times baby Jayden Jay woke me up. Well as I was getting ready for school he was getting his sleep. As soon as I got to school he was behaving and doing really good, till second period he asked for a bottle. He had to be burped a couple of times, during that period. Fourth period come, and when I was taking a quiz he started crying, because he wanted attention. I couldn't give him that much, because of testing, but I made him quiet down for a while. In fifth period he cried twice once for attention, and other for burp. Later on during the rest of the day Jayden hadn't cried till around 4:40 ish, while I was eating and I was worried.

This picture was taken around 9p.m , while I was being a good mother and sister. We all had fallen asleep together on my couch, but then my Mom woke me up to move to my room. Then later that night, Jayden had cried again about 8 times. Yet, I had gotten use to it already, so it went perfectly well. Although, I did need some more sleep, so in the morning I decided Jayden and I should stay in, so we did. 

Reflection of 2/19/12 :)

   Well yesterday was my first day of having my child, and let me tell you it wasn't easy. At first I thought "Oh, this is easy." Because it hadn't cried, but once I was already falling asleep, that's when it began all it's baby stuff. Well I did have a baby sitter for two hours, because I had drivers ed and well since I didn't have a car seat it had to stay home. Once I got home I showed my baby to my Dad, and he freaked out. He didn't know what to think or react. So later on at night when it was time for bed, I had to feed and burp baby Jayden Jay a couple of times. Then around 1 in the morning it woke me up twice, and throughout the night as well for about 8 more times. I couldn't handle it for a while, but around the sixth time I got use to it. I woke up in the morning feeling super tired and lazy for school, yet I had to be a good mother and have education still in me. Well today was just the first day, let's see what the next six days brings me. :)

3/19/12

Today, at 1:00 p.m my baby boy, Jayden Jay was born. My name is Cherie and I am 16 years of age, and it's my first baby.  I am a bit excited, because I want to experience the life a teen mother. Sadly I am a single mother, therefore I am also like the father to my baby. I know I could do this on my own, but I would need one baby sitter for after school, because I will be having volleyball practice. I plan on having fun with my baby for the next 7 days. Taking pictures, feeding, changing it's diapers, and sleeping with it will probably be the best experience of my life.

Reflection 2/28/12 (:

Today I have accomplished researching more of these guided questions. I have not started on my introduction, but today I plan on working on it, because I am way behind. Other than that, I have been completing the answers, and setting them up as if its into an essay. From a scale from 1-6 , I rate myself a 4, because I wasn't as productive today, but I plan on being productive from now on because I don't want to fall behind.

Reflection 2/23/12 :)

When the baby is crying during a test it does get pretty annoying, because you need to concentrate on getting it done, but you also need to take care of the baby. Which means you need to stop doing the test, to care for this baby that is crying. Although, I do feel that it is completely wrong for a parent to be abusing a baby, because they shouldn't have to be treated unfairly. The parent should take full responsibility for their poor actions they caused themselves. Others who are not the parents shouldn't be taking care of it, or even holding the baby, because we are the parents of this baby we should take responsibility for this wonderful baby we have received. Therefore, those with babies should take good care of them, because others who haven't been able to have the baby could get a chance to experience this. 

Reflection about baby :)

For this next project we are having babies, so when I walked into the classroom I got the number 13. I am excited for this, because I will have responsibilities for myself and the baby. At home I have a baby brother that I care for everyday, and he looks for me. He is 2 years old, but I've been there for him since he was born. My mother even says that I'm his "second mother", because of how much I always take care of him when she is at work or busy. I feel okay with the whole deal of having a baby, I'm ready for this.

Reflection 2/16/12

Today during class we got to choose a drug to research for our new project. I choose inhalants, because it sounded interesting and I never really looked it up before. Therefore, I rate myself a 6. After choosing the drug I started researching, and saving my sources and pictures to my pen drive. Now all I have to worry about is putting the information, and pictures together into a poster. I've been very productive today, and I want it to be like this every other day I come to class.

Reflection 2/14/12 :)

In todays class from a scale from 1-6, I would rate myself a 6. Why? Because I finished all my work on time, and even though I wasn't caught up on the story of the vocabulary words I managed to finish it. For that I copy and pasted on my blog, and my teacher rewarded me with a candy. I am proud that I passed my test today as well, studying before it helped me a lot. Hopefully everyday will be just like one of these.
:)

STORY :)

My sister , Victoria has an amazing personality, where she loves to care for others. Yet she has an attitude of a 5 year old, which isn't so great. She has this disorder where she has to be perfect for every project she gets for homework. There are times where she hangs out with her friends that have an addiction to drugs, and others have a panic disorder. For this reason, she likes to be codependence to others. She wants them to get help, so she sends them to a formal intervention.  It's more like she's a support group to them, because she's always there for them and helps them understand what could go wrong and how not relapsing could fix their lives. She's in other words is a definition of perfectionism. Yet she has this problem at home, where her brother has a mental disorder and she prays for him everyday. She wants him to be able to live his live the way she does, she tries to be codependent. Other than that, her personality is the best I have seen.

Reflection 2/10/12

Today during class, I took notes for the test we're having on Thursday. Instead of highlighting the important key sentences, I decided to write some information on my blog, and the rest i'm going highlight. From a scale from 1-6, I rate myself a 6 because I actually did ALL my work and followed each step from the agenda.

Which I'm proud of myself, because I studied for 10mins before, and I remembered what I studied. Another thing I finished was the sentences for the vocabulary within 20mins of the class. After that I created a spark teens account, and I starting to look through it so I can get the hang of it. Now I'm posting a blog of my reflection, so I say I had a productive day today.
