30 Weeks!

Wow, 30 weeks (as of yesterday) has flown by in a lot of ways. I can't believe we are so close to meeting our baby boy. I had two good appointments this week. At my growth scan on Wednesday, he measured 2 lbs 15 oz, and the tech could even see that he has hair. His heart rate is in the 150s, and he is still very active. I absolutely love feeling and seeing him move. I did find out that my doctors want to induce labor at 38-39 weeks to reduce the risk of another stillbirth. I'd rather not have to be induced, but if it is best/safest for baby boy, that's okay. I also like knowing that he is coming sooner rather than later.

Oh, and we decided to announce his name. Introducing...Ryan Joseph :) This shot is looking straight at his face:

We had the nursery painted this week, and DH got the crib assembled with the help of our friend, so the nursery is coming along! Here is the crib:
We don't have a mattress yet (waiting to see if we get it from our registry), but he won't actually be sleeping in the crib for a while anyway.

And, of course, the 30 week bump pic:

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.

Nursery Pics

Here is Ryan's nursery! I managed to get it cleaned up enough to take some pictures. I am still waiting on the wall letters that say "RYAN" to hang above his crib. This Etsy seller is making me a little nervous, as she was supposed to ship them 2 weeks ago, and I haven't received them. I emailed her 5 days ago but haven't heard back. Hopefully they will arrive eventually. I still have a couple of more pictures to hang as well. Don't worry, he won't sleep in the crib with all that stuff in it! The wall letters will look like this, except obviously in blue:
