37 Weeks and Full Term

As of yesterday, I am now considered full term! At my doctors' recommendations, tonight is the night for induction of labor. We have to be at the hospital at midnight to start the process. God-willing, Ryan will be born happy and healthy sometime tomorrow. He was measuring 5lbs 15oz last week, so we are expecting around a 6-lb baby.

The notion that in a few days we will be bringing home a newborn still doesn't quite seem real. I admit, it is a pretty scary thought, but I seem to be as ready as I'm going to be. I absolutely cannot wait to hear Ryan cry, to hold him, look into his eyes and kiss him. I know it will be a bittersweet moment as Faith will be on our minds as well. I believe that she will be with us. I plan on wearing my "FAITH" bracelet and her birthstone ring while I'm in labor to remind me of her life.

If you are FB friends with me, watch there for updates and pictures tomorrow!

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.
