Life is good
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.

Dearest Julie,

I’m so happy to hear that things are going well! I can relate somewhat to wanting to fast forward…when our daughter Olivia was born in January I was SO SCARED that she was going to develop kidney failure just like Gavin. I’m still counting wet diapers and she’s six months old…I don’t know if that fear will ever go away, but I’m starting to relax a little!
We continue to pray for peace for your family…it sure sounds like things are going great!

Julie, just eat up all of those precious infant moments, they go by so fast. I understand why you worry, but still, just try and stay in the moment with Ryan. My daughter is 25 and I still cherish those moments, especially the ones when she and I were alone late at night. Kiss that sweet little boy all the time, and Jessie will send all of you angel kisses. With love Michele

Julie,
I am so glad that all is going well. I wanted to check in on you and it sounds like you are busy so that is great! I hope I get to see your little guy in person someday. He is such a cutie in the pictures. I just wanted to let you know I was thinking about you!
Love,

Well, it’s certainly good to hear that things are going so well. You must be thrilled to be home and getting into a routine. Your announcements sound absolutely stunning from what people have been saying…that’s awesome
Maybe if Tom feels like it, I know we all would love to see some new pictures on the site 
But, no worries, as I can remember all too well how busy things are for you…the last time I brought home a newborn I had 3 year old twins and a 5 year old…LOL I don’t think anyone would have even gotten an announcement even if I hadn’t been on bedrest to make them!
Anyway, glad to hear you are all settling in. Things are certainly getting busy around here with back to school, etc., coaching my daughter’s poms, working…ahhhh LOL So, just know that I’m thinking of you often if I don’t get a chance to write anytime soon. I am truly grateful to God for bestowing such an amazing miracle on your family. You have all been through so much that this is definitely a wonderful thing to see finally happening for you. God bless and take care,
Jess D. and the Diedrich family
