Our little man is here!

Well God blessed us with a son on August 10th. He came into this world at 12:39pm weighing 7lbs 11 oz and was 20 3/4 inches long. He is such a joy and has been a little cuddler.
Rylynn has adapted pretty well. She is caring for her babies just like we do for Garrett.
We have had a little trouble with Garrett. When he was 48 hrs old, a nurse found that he had a cleft pallet. We went to Riley Hospital on the 24th of August and ended up staying the week. We had a swallow study done where we found that he was aspirating to his lungs, so he is on a feeding tube right now. We also found that he is having obstruction while he sleeps, so he has to sleep on his belly and ride in a special car seat. Due to the problems with sleep, he is on a monitor for his heart and resp. rate at all times. He will have surgery for his cleft pallet around his first birthday.
We will continue to have swallow studies done. Our next one is in October. He will continue to see other doctors at Riley Hospital. We were blessed with wonderful doctors while being at Riley hospital.
We are loving everyday with our little man, but sometimes are facing trying days. Now that we are home I will try to post weekly pictures as he is changing so much.
One good point...he has gained a pound...which they were concerned about, so now we ae 8lbs!

Loving Corn on the Cob!

Rylynn experienced Corn on the Cob for the first time this summer! And she LOVES it!

Stirring up Fun!

Rylynn and I have been doing some special things together lately since I have been off work. The other day we made banana choc chip muffins. She loved helping stirring. We are planning on making some bread this week as well as blueberry muffins, since we have we picked 26 lbs of blueberries!

Enjoying the outdoors

Rylynn is enjoying her toys outside. At the end of the summer last year, I purchased a little house for her to play in. One afternoon her daddy and grandpa put it up and she enjoyed spending time in it.

Kindermusik Camp

Rylynn participated in Kindermusik camp this summer. So for one week she went everyday for an hour and played instruments, heard a story, met new friends, and had a snack. She had a great time, but usually afterwards mommy was rather tired!

Grandma's Birthday!

Well a couple weeks ago, we went and celebrated my grandma's birthday. We had a cook-out. All the kids played together wonderful. They blew bubbles, played on the swing set. The "men" played frisbee golf while the woman watched the children and held the newest addition to the family, baby Jarek. We all had a fun day! And here are some pictures to show it.

22 days and counting!

So I am WAY behind on posting. I will do my best to update pictures this week and next week.
Our news is that I am now seeing the doctor twice a week and having stress test done while I am there. Things are going rather well. I went off the blood thinner last week. I will start medication for possible blood clots and dizzyiness after Garrett is born.
Speaking of Garrett, I will be induced on August 11th! I am so thrilled that Ryan and I have will be having a son the begining of August!
