Levi

I've been busy...

I didn't realize how long it's been since I have posted... Well Levi came on Friday May 1. All went pretty good, considering my pregnancy. Friday morning when they checked me and I hadn't changed, I knew something was up.. Then the nurse said " I don't want to scare you, but the baby is breach.." I had a feeling that I would have to have a c-section. Levi is the best baby, maybe cause Rylan is my wild child.. Levi came out but first. Scott had a thrill watching him being born. I think he was more interested in watching cut on me than anything, but that's Scott for ya. It doesn't seem like yesterday Levi was 4 weeks old. He is growing so fast.. I didn't realize how easy Rylan was till Levi lol. It's interesting having 2 boys. Rylan just loves his brother.

Last post till Levi!!!

I went to the doctor yesterday with intentions of asking him if he would PLEASE put me in now and put me out of my misery!!! I asked him and of course he told me Friday will come soon enough. Everything was okay. My blood pressure was a little high only cause I forgot to take my pill that morning. I just knew that I would be 2 or 3cm cause all the walking and hurting that I have been having. I was let down when he told me that I was only 1cm and 70 percent effaced. Which I guess the 70 percent is good, cause when I go, I will go. He asked me if I wanted him or the midwife to deliver Levi, and I told him that he was tying my tubes I wasn't having anymore!!! He said that he would love to deliver both of my children.. I just love him. So, I go in tonight around 8pm and get checked in which I am happy, though sad cause I will have to miss grey's and private practice.. But I am so ready to get this over with. He told me that he will break my water Friday morning so we should have a baby mid Friday, I am hoping. I am a little scared, even though I have done this before. I had it easy with Rylan. I was in labor less than 3 hrs with him. They broke my water around 8 am and Rylan was here at 11:26am. They say that the second one is easier... Though with my luck it will be totally different and I'll probably be in labor half the day! Well I am off to bed to try to get some more sleep.

Hoping and Praying!!!

It's been awhile since I have posted. It's been a week. Well I have made it to 37 weeks. I am hoping and praying that he will give me some good news tomorrow when I go to the doctor. I though I was miserable before, though I really am now. Ty is suppose to come in Friday or Saturday for a week, and hopefully Levi will want to come then lol. I hope he can experience Levi cause he wasn't here with Rylan.. Anyways I'm going to pray tonight before I go to bed that some kind of miracle will happen!!!

Rylan playing teeball for the first time...

I have less than 23 days till I get to meet Levi. I so can't wait. I am ready right now. I need to order some diapers on diapers.com. Other than that I'm pretty much got everything.

Still Pregnant!

I went to the doctor this morning and she had wonderful new to tell me. She didn't think that I had dilated to 2 or 3, but it was very hard to get to. She had to push the head out of the way lol... So she then sent me to have a ultrasound to make sure that he was turned right, and he was... Last week he was breached. She said that I was in pain probably cause he was turning, which eased my fears of giving birth soon... Other than that everything looked good. I'm happy that Levi want to stay in there a little while longer, though tomorrow night is a full moon..

Starting to Contract....

I have been having some contractions. With having them off and on for two days, I though I better call the doctor. No one was in that I see on a regular basis, so I seen the nurse. She checked me and told me that I was in between 2 and 3cm and at stage 2. Which she sent me to the hospital. I really wasn't hurting when I went to the hospital. They kept me for about 45 min, and checked me again. They said that I was 2.5 cm. So I have to go back to the doctor today and see what they say. Hopefully Levi wants to stay in there a little more longer.

Well....Life is GOOD

As of yesterday, I am no longer an employee of Federal Mogul. I couldn't be happier. I just think it is sad that they have to have a rule saying you can't take off more than 26 weeks. If I was able to go back and work one day, I could of have saved my wonderful job... It isn't like I won't be back to myself in a few weeks.. I have to look at it this way, Everything Happens For A Reason. I truly believe this is a blessing for me and the family, cause I am getting to spend time with Rylan that I never had before. We are a closer family. I just hope that I don't miss anything with Levi, like I did with Rylan. I missed everything with Rylan, but I would rather have my mom enjoy them than some daycare. He was always taken care of and I never had to worry about him.

When do you push to hard?

With cigarette prices to go up tomorrow, I have been trying to get Scott to stop smoking. Maybe I am emotional right now cause all the hormones, but I love my husband and I would love for him to stop smoking. He keeps promising me that he is going to quit but I know he is still smoking. Last year I made him a doctor's appointment to see about getting chantix. He tried though he really didn't want to quit. Then I got pregnant, and we made a promise that he would quit smoking and I would eat better cause I have gestational diabetes. He started again taking his chantix, and had quit for a little over a month. Then I was having some problems with the pregnancy, and that gave him a excuse to smoke. He says it calms him down, which I know that is another excuse... So since February he is been sneaking around smoking. Every time I find some cigarettes, lighters, or light fuild I throw them out. I know it's the pregnancy that makes me do it lol... I hate that he lies to me. If he doesn't want to quit why doesn't he say so. He needs to quit. So I have called the doctors office again today to get him some more chantix. He is going to stop. I feel like one way or another I will make him see that he needs to stop, not for me, but for his kids. I want to be able to spend the rest of my life with him, and I don't want him to die like my granny did cause she could of lived longer if she had put down the cigarettes. Scott need some motivation. He is going to be 60 years old living on a oxygen tank and still smoking. I don't want that. How can I make him see... I have to keep pushing harder and harder.

March 28

Time flies....

I guess times flies by when your having fun... It just seems like yesterday I brought home Rylan from the hospital. In less than 4 weeks I will be bring home Levi. I was looking at Rylan this morning thinking where did all the time go? He has become a sweet little boy, and sometimes I think life sometimes happens so fast that I can't enjoy every little minute with him. I am hoping this time around things will be more relaxed and at ease with Levi. I have decided to not go back to work. I know I need to be home with my boys... There is so much that I missed with Rylan that I hope I get to see with Levi.
Tomorrow I will be 34 weeks. Hooray.... I'm almost there. It's been a long journey. I just hope and pray that everything will be alright with him. He is a little fighter. I have been on bed rest most of the time with him, and I have to go to complete bed rest for the next two weeks cause they don't want me to go into labor early. He has been keeping me up most of the nights, and I'm always tired.. I have been sleeping a lot lately. Everyone tells me to get it while I can. Guess I should listen. Rylan is getting more excited. I can't wait to see his face when he see baby Levi. I hope it's going to be easy with two little boys. I am already trying to get Rylan in at Brookside. Hopefully that will calm in down a little before he goes to school, and hopefully he won't get kicked out. That is my fear, but I think he will do just fine, cause when we aren't around he is a different person.
I go to the doctor Wednesday. Maybe I'll get to find out when I get to have this boy... Ty is coming in April 24.. If I can hold off till then.. I am finally starting to get excited. I can't wait!!

What life brings us....

When me and Scott got married we deciede to wait a little bit for we would have kids.
We wanted to be married for a year, and Scott needed to have his hip surgery. With being newly married we didn't want to put a strain on our marriage. It would have been to hard. Before Rylan, our days were carefree and spontaneous and easy. Life was good, we thought lol. Me and Scott were they type who really did pick up on a moment's notice and go somewhere. We would go out to eat all the time, hang out with friends, have friends over, and go 4 wheeling. We didn't have nobody but each other to answer to. If we wanted to sleep till 12pm we could. I only done that cause I was working 3rd shift. We had many lazy days where we wouldn't do nothing. We had our "must-see TV", mine was sex in the city and Scott's was Jag. You know the phrase "youth is wasted on the young"? Well, not having children is wasted on those who don't have children. Those of us who have kids understand that it is totally impossible to appreciate the freedom of not having them until you actually do have them. But through all this we really, really, really wanted children. And the time came. And we waited 6 months for us to get pregnant. We was thrilled to finally have our baby boy. And then, we were shocked, overwhelmed, disoriented, and overly tired. How could something so little take so much of your time? We was so done with our old life. Rylan would be our new life...

For a long time we didn't want another child. I kept getting asked when is Rylan going to have a little brother or sister? And I would say never lol... They would tell me that Rylan doesn't need to grow up alone, he will be lonely and he will grow up selfish and spoiled. I didn't have no idea why people think it's appropriate to say these kinds of things, but they do and they did all the time. That got me to thinking, Rylan does need a little brother or sister.

We soon learned that one of the rules of life also applies to parenting: This too, shall pass, and it did. Rylan has got easier. Life has got easier, and we realized that we could, in fact, have a life and have children. You just have to include them in your life, which sometimes makes it more interesting. So we decided to have another one. It didn't take have of the time it took with Rylan to get pregnant. It's been a journey with this pregnancy, but it's going to be well worth the wait..
It's so so precious when Rylan rubs my bed and talks to his little brother. Having Rylan has changed my whole life.. I know that there will be exciting journey for me and Scott, though we are ready for it.

Dr. Appointment Today

I had to go to the doctor today and I got some good news... They put the belt on me and Levi just went crazy (which that is good). Dr. got called away for a delivery and I got to see the nurse. I was asking her questions about me feeling pressure and all that, and I asked her if all goes right will I go to 40 weeks? She told me that they don't like for women who has gestational diabetes to go more than 38 weeks, cause they don't want the baby to get to big. So, that means I have less than 6 weeks till baby Levi gets here. I am ready. Finally got all the baby clothes washed, his baby bed put up, and went through the drawers to make room for the little guy... Rylan can't wait. I try to tell him something about a baby every night. Hopefully this will make him jealous. Like last night I was telling him about Levi's belly button, and how he will have a scab over it and we will have to keep it cleaned out.. Rylan is just amazed. Mom got him a shirt this weekend at walmart that says "Big Brother". I have been looking every where but walmart for one. Rylan loved the shirt. He is getting excited more and more as it gets closer.

I had a great birthday.. Scott took me out to eat. We was going to go to Olive Garden friday night, though it was so packed you couldn't even park. So he suggested that we go and eat at Red Lobster, and it was to die for. He had lobster and shrimp and I had the ultimate feast... It was well worth the money... It was good. Then he took me to Sam's Club. I am going to start going there, we got a lot of good deals if you buy in bulk. Then we headed home cause we was both tired.

My little boy is growing up...

31 weeks

Well I have made it to 31 weeks, and I can't believe it... Only 9 more weeks to go if I make it to full term, but I got a feeling I won't. This has been the longest journey for me. It's a miracle that he is here, and just a few weeks I will be able to see him.
I keep having these dreams that he is going to come out a girl, but the ultrasound lady assured me that he was a boy... I finally got the crib up, still have stuff to bring out, and I have totes everywhere downstairs full of baby clothes. It's not helping me cause I'm nesting. Everything is bothering me.. Monday will be my birthday, I will be 28. It doesn't seem like I should be that old. Where does the time go. Just seems like yesterday I turned 18.. Monday I will also be 32 weeks. I am counting down the weeks now. I am so ready to see Levi. We haven't though of a middle name. I guess it will just come to us when we are in the delivery room lol.. I am getting so excited. I told Scott yesterday that we are going to have to keep the rains down with 2 boys, but we are going to have the time of our lives... I am so happy.. I couldn't be happier. It's so nice knowing that I don't have to go back to work either. I love my LIFE....

I have been so busy this week. Wednesday I went to the doctor and everything is looking good, which is great for me... Hopefully to much longer. I finally got the baby bed up.. I was so afraid that he would come and I wouldn't have nowhere to put him. Then Scott brought out the totes in the building that had all of Rylan's baby clothes. I am in the process of washing all of that, which is a job... I have the pool table full of baby clothes. I didn't realize how much stuff that Rylan had. I didn't get rid of nothing.

4D Ultrasound of Levi

I had to go to the doctor today, and everything went good. I am 30weeks and 2 days. I haven't gain any weight during this pregnancy which Dr said was good since I've been watching my sugar. It's been hard though. I am so ready for Levi to get here. He was yawning when I was having the ultrasound done. It was so cute.

Snow!!!

When Rylan got up Sunday morning he was ready to get outside and play in the snow. I really didn't think that it was going to snow much, but I was shocked when I looked out side. I fixed him some breakfast and out the door he was at 9am. I had him so bundled up that I don't think he could move. He had two shirts and two pairs of pants on.

After Scott pulled him around about 30 mins, Scott decides to go and get the 4 wheeler out and have a little fun. I think Scott is as big kid as Rylan is.



Then Scott wants to ride through the neighborhood and see if our friends are out. When we get to Jon and Candy's house, Jon is trying to get the go cart running so they can ride in the snow. We had so much fun at their house. We had to take a break cause the guys had to go and get gas for their rides, so we went in and fixed some lunch. When Scott and Jon got back, Scott was showing everyone how Rylan rides his back like a bronco. It was hilarious, and we had fun....

I am so proud of Rylan....

My little boy is growing up so fast. This weekend we decided to put bed rails on his bed thinking it would help him sleep in his own bed, and so far it's working. Last night was the first night that he slept all night in his own bed. And as for tonight, he is sleeping away in his bed. Trust me, I have learned my lesson about letting your kids sleep with you. It's alright until you go and try to get them out of bed with you. I have see where parents want to co sleep with their kids, and I guess that's alright, cause they are so sweet and you just want to love them, but till you go and try to get them out, it's a nightmare. I won't be doing it with Levi. Rylan still has to have someone lay down with him. He has this thing where he has to be held and rub your ear till he goes to sleep. I hope with time that I won't have to lay down with him every night. I guess I'm his blanket.... but hopefully he will get better with time. Here is some pictures of his bed rails. You can tell he is excited to get them.

I found some good recipes. I'm always looking to find something quick and easy but good. I'll tell you how they are once I try them.

Baked Ziti I

Roast "Sticky" Chicken

Stuffed Cabbage Rolls

Emeril's Corn Soup

Zucchini Cakes

It's been a while since I have posted

I guess a lot of you didn't know that I was in the hospital last week with double pneumonia. I can tell you that was the sickest I have ever been. I don't know how I got sick cause I've been on bed rest since Oct. I am feeling 100 percent better than I did, and I don't ever want to have it again. With me being sick, Rylan and Scott was sick though they just had a bad cold. My mom had to take Rylan to the doctor cause he had little bit of a ear infection, then she got sick, and then Scott. So we all have had the crud... But I am better now.
Yesterday, I decided to go through Rylan's clothes and toys... I am trying to make room for Levi. I only got like 10 or 11 weeks till he gets here, and that's not even if he comes early which I predict that he will. So, I cleaned one side of Rylan's closet for Levi. I really didn't realize how much stuff that Rylan had. He is very blessed. Some kids don't even have a fraction of what he has. Though one good thing is that I don't have to buy clothes and toys for awhile...

Doctor Again Today..

Well, I had to make another trip to the doctors office today. I really didn't want to go cause I was afraid of what they might tell me.. I had leaked the last two mornings, and was hurting in my lower left back.. So I went and they checked me and said that everything was looking good. Though I need to stay off my feet more and try not to lay on my left side to much, since that is where Levi wants to stay... Then after I left the doctors office I went and got my medication filled which took forever, and got a movie at Walgreen's.. I got that movie The Story About Bee's. It was so good. Later tonight I took it back at got Fireproof. Fireproof was excellent.. Probably one of my favorite movies...

Fireproof

I just got done watching this movie, and it's the best movie I have seen in a long time. I couldn't stop the tears, the just kept a rolling... You have to see this movie if you haven't yet.

I think Levi thinks it a circus inside my stomach. Every night about the same time his starts to rumble around lol... It's about 12am cause I am usually up on the laptop and I can't sleep. But he has been very active here lately which is good. I went to the doctor yesterday and they told me that everything looked good. I am getting excited more and more. I really haven't bought nothing for the baby yet.. I just want to make sure everything is okay. There is so much stuff that I need to be getting out of storage and getting ready for the baby. Rylan is getting excited. I can't wait to see his little face when Levi gets here. I know he will do just fine with him, even though he says he is going to pinch him lol... I don't think I will be able to turn my back on Rylan...

What's for Dinner

Well, I tried a two new recipes that I found on here today. They was pretty good.. Here they are. If I was thinking I would have took a picture. This was so easy to make, and clean up was a breeze..

Oven Roasted Potatoes
3 pounds yukon gold potatoes, unpeeled
2-3 cloves of garlic, minced (optional)
1 tablespoon rosemary, minced (optional)
extra virgin olive oil
kosher salt
pepper

Preheat oven to 350° degrees.

Chop potatoes into bite size pieces of roughly equal size. Arrange on a baking sheet. Add garlic, rosemary, olive oil, salt and pepper; toss well.

Roast until crisp and tender, about 1 hour to 1 and 15 minutes.


Oven Roasted Chicken
chicken pieces (breast or leg), bone in with skin on
extra virgin olive oil
kosher salt
pepper

Preheat oven to 350° degrees.

On a large baking sheet, arrange chicken (skin side up), drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper.

Roast until cooked through, about 35-40 minutes.

We have a name, I think!!!

Our baby boy is going to be named Levi Garrett.. I think that goes pretty good with Rylan Jameson. Hopefully Levi will be healthy. I keep having these weird dreams that something is wrong. Like last night I dreamed that they put me in the hospital cause the baby had insulin in his ears.. I know its my fears that plays a part in my dreams. With everything that has went on with this pregnancy, make me wonder. I have to trust in God, and everything happens for a reason. God would not deal us a hand that we could not handle. I have to believe that everything will be alright. Sometimes it's hard though....

I am a coupon user now...

I have never used coupons before yesterday... I don't know why I haven't. I have been clipping coupons for 2 weeks now, and we went to Bi-Lo yesterday. I was shocked how much I saved. If I knew I would save that much, I would have been doing it a long time ago. Everything that went in the buggy I pretty much had a coupon for. It was hard trying to find coupons and fighting with Rylan. He could not make up his mind where he wanted to set in the buggy. We got our grocery's we went to check out. We had a full buggy. I had spent 140 dollars before coupons, and after coupons and tax I only spent 111 dollars. I was ticked pink. Couldn't believe I saved that much.

Easier With Rylan...

Well, it's been getting easier with Rylan sleeping in his bed. I thought it would be awful, but so far it's not been to bad. I do have to lay down with him until he goes to sleep. Then I try to easy off, sometimes he wakes up and says mommy where are you going. It's hard though not half as bad as I thought it would be. Last night I put him in there and let him dose off, turned the tv on music and he didn't wake up until 12am. So, I put him back in his bed and turn it on horses, and I haven't heard a peep out of him yet... and it's going on 1am. So, maybe I have progress. I hope and pray... Would be nice to have my own bed again since I am pregnant and can fit on Rylan's twin bed with him hardly anymore lol...

I Blame Myself

I have no one else to blame but myself and Scott for letting Rylan sleep with us... It is so hard trying to get him to sleep in his bed. We have tried letting him watch tv before he goes to bed, and so far that doesn't work. He likes to get up if you don't lay there with him. What am I going to do? 3 more months and baby Levi will be here and then I will have my hands full. I just had to spank Rylan cause he keeps getting up and coming in here with me, saying " Mommy lay down with me". I told him that I could lay down with him that he was going to have to sleep by his self. He didn't like that. I have babied him to much. It's hard when it's your first. Everyone told me don't let him sleep with you, and I listened for a little bit. When he was 7 months old and got sick, that's when he started sleeping with us. I was working 10 hours a day, and Scott had work a long day, and it was just easier. Wish I could go back and change lol... I watch the nanny trying to get some tips, but Rylan is so hard headed. You can spank him and it don't phase him... It hurts him the most when you put him on his bed or set him on the floor. I have been working with Rylan for 3 night already and it's getting better though it's hard....

Where's The Money?

I didn't realize how much money it took just to go to work, and keep life running. Since I have been home we are able to save so much money. I don't have to spend over one hundred dollars a month to drive to smithville, and I don't have to have twenty to thirty dollars for lunch a week... I am starting to learn how to be frugal with our money. I am starting to collect coupons which I have never done until now.. The way I look at it, is how bad do I want to be able to stay home with my children? I will do anything for them. They need me and I need them. It looks like I probably won't be able to go back to work, cause I am still on bedrest. But, I think everything happens for a reason. I am so excited about being able to stay home this summer with Rylan. Does anyone have any ideas about being frugal? How do you pinch every penny?

Rylan and his checkup...

It was a long day yesterday... Me and Scott took Rylan for his yearly checkup at the doctor's office. Dr. Purvis said that he was ideal height, though he was a little underweight for his age. He has motor skills of a 4 year old. He can tell you his colors, all farm animals and sounds, and he knows who his mommy and daddy are. I am so proud of him... I would love to send him to preschool right now, though with everything that I've got going on, it's hard too. Dr was glad to see that he was already potty trained. He had a hard time with it at first, but when I got rid of the pull ups he was fine with it. He hasn't had too many accidents. Rylan isn't flat footed like me as we thougth lol... Overall his vist went well. I couldn't be happier with Dr. Purvis..


Then when we got out of the doctors office we had to go to get our eye exam. That was fun... Rylan didn't have a nap all day. They probably was ready to see us leave. He can be a little terror if he doesn't get his nap in for the day. Me and Scott got a new pair of glasses. I am going to try to wear mine lol... I don't never, I hate them, but I am going to try cause I really can't see anymore.

Baby Levi due May 11

Doctor's Vist

Well, tomorrow I have to go to the doctor to have another ultrasound. I'm kinda scared cause I am afraid that they might find something wrong with the baby... They are going to check the heart and his lip to make sure that he doesn't have a cleft pallet. Seems like everyone I know is either pregnant or just found out that they are expecting. It seems like when there is a war there is a baby boom.
I loved watching it snow today. I was hoping it would cover the ground so Scott could take Rylan out in his sled. I have some more birthday pictures, I will try to get them uploaded.

Rylan's Birthday party at McDonald's....

Rylan's Birthday

Well, Rylan had a good birthday yesterday. He thought it was Christmas again lol.. He thought that he was getting christmas presents. I had to keep telling him that it was birthday presents. I have planned a birthday party for him at McDonald's. There is going to be about 12 kids. He is excited... I told him I would take him to the mall tomorrow and buy him some shoes.. He wanted to go to Tractor Supply..

Baby has moved alot today. I probably done to much today with going to Walmart and Bi-Lo. I had to get grocerys cause I'm out of everything. I had a list and still forgot 1 or 2 things lol. That's how it usually goes. It was so cold out today. It's suppose to be colder tomorrow. Hopes everyone stays warm tonight and tomorrow....

Rylan and Scott at Pa Jr's Easter Sunday

He is growing up

Rylan's Birthday is Today!!!

It's been 3 years since Rylan has came into this world. He has changed me and Scott so much. He was so ready to come into this word, he wasn't waiting on Dr. Devalle lol. He put me in the hospital on Friday 13 at 8pm. I remember it like it was yesterday. I was scared cause I didn't know what to expect. They broke my water around 8am the next morning. When Rylan was ready, he was ready. Dr. Devalle about didn't make it cause he was doing a c-section. All I remember is not wanting to push but couldn't help it cause my body was taking over. Dr came in and threw his scrubs on and Rylan's head was aready out. Wouldn't change a thing. Best thing ever happen to me. We went from being just me and Scott to a family of three.

I haven't figured this blogging out yet...

Today was pretty good day with Rylan. He woke up in a good mood as always. I fixed him some breakfast which he is much into, unless he is just hungry. We played with horse and dog puzzles that he got for Christmas. They was a little bit over his head, but he hung in there, cause he want's to be able to get it right. Then came lunch, and dinner. Pa Max got to ride him on his back like a horse. He keep telling Pa to bump him off like a real horse. I got a kick out of that. He is so into horses. He eats, sleeps, and breaths horses. I have to find him somewhere to go and ride horses. Then after Pa and Granny left, we played with Lincoln Logs. He loves to build barns and fences for his horses. But you have to watch him, when you turn your head he knocks it down, then asks you to help him build another. I know he has me wrapped around his finger. Then it wasn't long he was off to take a bath then bed. Right now, Scott and Rylan is piled up in the bed snoring away. lol He is my life, though he has his moments where I could ring his neck... Still working on getting him out of the bed. That's going to be hard.

I felt the baby moving alot today. Can't wait till he gets here.

I want to be WONDER Woman!!!
I can do it, I can do it all

Another week has pasted. I don't know where all the time is going.. I had to go to the doctor today. He said that everything was fine, and wanted me to come back and have a ultrasound next week. I am happy that everything is going good with the pregnancy. It ain't like I haven't had enough problems. I so want to be able to be a stay at home mom. I know that I can't be wonder woman, though I can try to be for my kids. I want to be able to have supper on the table when Scott gets home, have a clean house, and everything just tidy. I don't think that I will be able to go back to work with all the compactions that I am having. I keep telling Scott that we will be fine. It isn't like we don't like to work, like some people lol. He just worries a lot, though he shouldn't we will be okay. Just had to vent for a little bit.

It's Sunday, and I think I am finally getting over the stomach bug. I hate to be down. It doesn't help that I'm on bed rest either. Susie came and got Rylan yesterday and took him to the mall. They rode the rides, and she got him a coloring book and some colors. Then they went to Tractor Supply Company, which is a no no with Rylan cause he wants everything in the store. She bought him a horse and barn to keep at her house. He stayed the night at her house last night. I'm sure he will have a big story to tell when he gets home.

My little boy is growing up so fast. It won't be long till we will have another little boy running around!!!

Well, it's the new year. We had a great Christmas. Rylan got lots of toys, probably to many for a two year old. I am still on bed rest which is getting to me here lately. I am so ready for May to come around. I have been either on the internet or watching TV. There is only so much you can surf and watch on TV.
