Time is Flying!

Wow.....how time is flying by! In the beginning I thought it would take forever for 9 months to pass. I'm now 29 weeks. We only have about 10 weeks until Ryler's due date. This means Chris and I only have 10 more weekends to fill with things we won't be doing for a while and honey do's to get done before the baby arrives. And half of those weekends are already booked with things to do......Ahhhhh!!



The shower this weekend was so wonderful! It was great being able to visit and catch up with everyone! Thanks to Jann, Al, Lana, and John for a great shower! Also, my mom did a great job with the decorations! I hope everyone enjoyed their party favors! Tina, Bridget, Kelly, Linda, Mom, Chris and I had a blast making them. Also, a special thanks to Eric for helping out at the last minute with pictures. Great job E!!



We had another ultrasound at 27 weeks. The doctor wanted us to come back for another one because Ryler was too wiggly last time to get a good picture of his heart. Well, we got to see him.....kinda! He is all folded up. He has his feet resting on top of his head. So, in other words there were no good pictures of his heart again. However, he is definitely still a boy!! Again Ryler was so wiggly getting measurements of anything is difficult. He is already "on the go" all the time just like mom and dad!

Soooo…. It’s been a while

Soooo…. It’s been a while since I’ve updated my blog. School started on August 12th and the beginning of school is always very hectic! However, this semester I have a student teacher which has been very helpful! Thanks Katie!!


*This picture was taken last week for the UL’s “Wear Red Day.” This is all of the students and faculty at Broadmoor. The fire truck from the station next door came over to lift our photographer into the air for this great picture!!


Chris, Ryler, and I are doing well! Ryler is really moving and kicking up a storm now. He is awake and moving around about every two hours. He does NOT like loud noises!! At school, if I’m standing too close to the bell and it rings, he jumps and flips and flops until it stops ringing…..too cute!! He has also been listening to the classics like Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, etc… every night and he seems to really like that. He’s usually kicking around when I go to bed and when I put the music on he settles down. Hopefully that happens when he’s out of the womb too…lol!!


Also, Chris and I have started taking Lamaze classes together! We really love them….yes, I said we. Mrs. Lenette teaches them at a birthing center, Gentle Choices. She is a great instructor/midwife and only 4 other couples are in the class. It’s not the Lamaze classes you see on TV where they teach you to Hoohooo, heeheeeee, hoohoo, heehee…. It’s more just general education on birth, labor, breastfeeding, etc. The first class we learned different techniques, so I would be able to handle the pain at home instead of spending so much time in the hospital. Chris did the most work at this class…..lol. He learned different massage techniques to make me feel more comfortable and calm during labor. By far, the cheapest massage you can get and a really great one too!! Next week is Hypno-birthing……?? I’ll let you know what that’s all about next blog!!
