Where do I even start?? I will start with the things that stick out in my mind that have happened...
Rhyder:
He is getting so big and is such a hand full! He talks so much and runs all over. He says things that just blow my mind. He started going potty on the toilet. Right before christmas he got hands, foot and mouth disease. It was so hard to see him go through it and be so sick, he would sleep maybe 2 hours a night which was so hard on mommy and daddy as well. He would just sit and cry for hours and hours straight and didn't want to let us go away from him. I remember just sitting holding him on the bed and him crying and then I would just cuddle him and cry while I thought why am I crying?? Then I would think oh ya because he's my little man, I'm pregnant and overly tired! I know we have seen him go through a lot but as a parent you NEVER get used to your child being sick even if it is very often. He has been such a trooper with all he has gone through. Luckily he got over that right before Christmas! We had such a fun Christmas. Going out to see what Santa brought him was so fun and seeing his face was something I will never forget. He looked at the toys and then looked at us and just said "HAPPY" :) All day that's what we heard! Right before New Years he got pink eye in both eyes which was NO fun! Then about a month later he decided to try and ride his 4wheeler down the stairs, which came with a bloody nose and a nice black shinner on his eye. A few days after that happened his ear started bleeding from inside which freaked me out. I knew his ears had been draining for a few weeks because of his tubes but not bleeding. I took him in and found out he had an ear infection :/ he got put on a study for his ears and is doing much better now! He is just like his daddy and is a rough tough boy. He is so cute and acts so much older then her really is! I must say I love getting to kiss him every morning and night and watching him grow up! He is a turd and is such a daddy's boy... It is so cute how much he idles him though I am a little jealous. He is so funny, we will be shopping and buy something for TynLeigh and he will hold it for hours and just say cute. He has to take us in to her room now and again so he can point to her crib and say baby! I honestly could go on for hours and hours about how cute and funny this little guy is!
Daddy & Mommy:
We are doing good and are super excited for our baby girl. We got a new car which I absolutely love! We have both been working extra hours and days at work which is nice but so hard. I FINALLY convinced Ben that he needs to go and have his arms looked at again since it has been putting him in so much pain along with his elbow now as well. I'm now 36 weeks & 2 days and am going to the doctor every week. It's getting so close and I am so done with this pregnancy! (Never thought I'd say that) I have been cramping so much and my back is in pain quite often! When I went to the doctor's last she said I was measuring 32 weeks which was 2 weeks behind and TynLeigh's heart beat was slower then she wanted, she was also concerned with how much amniotic fluid I was making/had. When she told me I remember just trying to stop myself from crying since when she told me that with Rhyder I got induced the next day. Although I was farther along. I called Ben just bawling when I left because I was so worried and scared. I went to Alta View for an ultrasound which turned out looking good and showed that I was farther along then we thought I was... No the due date didn't change but I have not seen my doctor since so we will see what happens on Monday. Ben is starting to talk about and showing that he is super excited for a little princess. I keep telling him that she is going to be a mommy's girl since Rhyder is a daddy's boy!
We can't wait and are so excited that we are going to be having a little girl in about a month! I can't even express how much I appreciate my friends, family and most of all Ben and Rhyder for helping me through all the things that have been going on and have the past few months and don't know what I would do without them! Ben has been so supportive and comforting.
i cant get over how stinkin adorable your family is. and your blog!
