Well today I made the mistake of watching the video Tom put together after Jessie passed away.  Why I watched it? Who knows but I did.  Looking back she was a 6 month old trapped in a 2 year old body. And near the end she looked miserable.  Asolutely miserable.  I can’t believe all that we went through with her. I forgot so many things.  That poor baby suffered.  I felt so bad and I cried and cried throughout the whole thing. I wish I could have her back here with Ryan and Thomas. God I pray that Ryan is really healthy and we have no surprises in the future.  I’ll be good when he passes his year old check-up.  But He’s good.  He slept over 4 hrs last night.  I lay in bed and watch him sleep.  I actually watch his body move up and down making sure he’s breathing.  He is just so sweet and beautiful. His room is all complete and its the brightest room I’ve ever seen.  I didn’t intentionally do it that way but its cute.  Its a bright green on top with cream and blue stripes on bottom.  The theme is Frogs.  I’ll take pictures and put them up.  I know, you all are waiting for Tom to put up other pics.  That’ll happen too.  I promise.  Well life is still great here even though I had my “closet time”  Remember those days?  Anyway, thank you Kerry Figuerido for that cute Gap outfit.  It’ll be perfect for mid-football season.

Things are continuing to go well.  Ryan is just so adorable.  He’s an extremely good baby except for the fact he’s very gassy.  I’ve tried to look online about gassy babies and breastfeeding but they don’t say too much.  most say cut out dairy which I’m trying today.  The pooor baby passes gas like a man. I feel sorry for him.  He fusses a lot because of it. So hopefully it’ll pass as he gets older.  he hasn’t had any spells since on the caffiene which is nice.  Only a few more weeks of the medicine and we’ll see how he does after that. He’s sleeping okay through the night.  He still gets up every 3 hrs sometimes more if he falls asleep during feeding.  Ya know how that is! 

Anyway, Thomas is busy with football now and pretty soon he’ll be in school. Its going to be weird not going back with him.  I’m still kind of torn but I’ll take my time with Ryan , I guess and take advantage of it.  Thomas doesn’t mind either. I just love working with the people I do.  I’ll miss the kids more importantly.  Especially my lil Josh. Well, I have to go.  I’m going on my walk with my boys. (sounds weird)  Thanks for checking in. I’ll get some pics on the page soon.  Take care and enjoy your week.

Ryan is doing well.  Sorry for the delay in updates but we have been experiencing computer problems with our wireless connection which goofs up our internet.  It took a few days to really get into a routine.  It was hard getting used to things again.  We were so used to putting Jessie down and being able to have her sit/lay in one spot for hours without moving or fussing.  Ryan fusses or is wide awake or wants to be held and it was like I had no time to do anything.  But its all good now.  I just sit and stare at him.  He’s a good baby.  He eats every 3 hrs. around the clock.  The night isn’t bad because he barely cries.  He just stirs around until I pick him up. Breastfeeding is going a lot better than I would have ever thought. Everything is working out perfect.  Thomas has been a trooper too.  Sometimes I wouldn’t mind fast forwarding by a few months because I’m still worried about the infant stages and making sure Ryan is okay.  I took him to see Dr Tjaden.  Can’t forget Dr. Tjaden.  Ryan is in the 50 percent tile for weight and height and doing good.  So all in all, I can take a deep breath for now.  Thank you for all your sweet messages, your nice cards that I have recieved from you in the mail and Brink family from Wyoming…thank you for the adorable baby gap outfit.  It’ll fit him perfectly by the Fall.  I’ll be putting some more pictures on the page soon.  Thank you for checking in…enjoy your week.
