Merry Christmas!

Last night we read Twas the Night Before Christmas (with Jan Brett's illustrations) to baby boy. It was bittersweet because I knew we should have been reading it to Faith for her first Christmas Eve. We remember her today but are also thankful for the blessing of her little brother who will join us next year.

I totally forgot I made this blog until I came across it in some old bookmarks the other day. I can't believe my last post was August 16, 2014 and it's now June 20, 2022, and Ryan is 9 years old. Boy have things changed. I need to take time to go through old pictures as he's been growing and post them. Right now Ryan's favorite things are baseball (he has been playing since the days of t-ball at age 4), Fortnite, and watching YouTube videos. He will start 4th grade at the beginning of August! He is such a sweet, kind boy, does great in school, and makes friends easily. (Not that he can't still have his moments, as any kid does.) For now, here are a few pictures. He recently got the glasses, which I love! Hopefully I'll write again soon.

25-Week Update

How did I make it to 25 weeks already? I feel like time is flying lately. Just 20 days left in the 2nd trimester! I had an u/s last week, and baby boy is still growing strong and healthy. I have another growth scan on Dec. 28. Baby is very active! He is flipping around and kicking all over the place quite often. I don't mind because it reassures me that he is okay. My only real complaint is terrible hip/leg pain at night and insomnia. I've tried every suggestion given and nothing seems to help. I can handle it, though, because this will all be worth it when I am holding my healthy son in my arms. Here is a bump picture from a party on Saturday (24w6d):
