Liam Turned 2!

Okay I am not a completely horrible mother but feel pretty bad. I have like no pictures of Liam from his birthday. It was a pretty tame day. I decided not to do a party seeing as we were trying to save up for the arrival of little brother and me taking 12 weeks off of work to be home with the boys. So me and Paul decided we would take him to a scottsdale train park. Liam loves trucks and trains so we figured it would be perfect. We first had to make a stop at Liam's cousin's baptism. After the baptism Paul's mom gave Liam his gift she made for him. It is tradition in Paul's family that on the granchild's second birthday the child receives an animal blanket, for boys a bear. Liam sleeps with his bear blanket every night and has to fall asleep holding the eyes of the bear,so sweet. After that we headed out for the days festivities. Liam had a great time looking at the trains, riding a train that circled the park, riding the carousel and running all over the park. It was pretty warm but overcast so that helped. Paul had to do a lot of the chasing that day. Contractions were happening a lot for me. We then made him a cake the next day that had thomas the train on top and my homemade train tracks. Lol I tried right. At the end of September we did a triple birthday that included Avery, Liam and myself that my sister Dianna hosted at her house. I was greatful Liam was able to have a little more celebration of his birth and he most certainly enjoyed the gifts he was given by the family. Liam I promise next year I will make it better. Thank goodness he will not remembr this year. But Liam we love you so much and will remember this birthday as our last with you as our one and only child our whole world at that point!

Rylan will soon be arriving

Yup, again I fail. I only took one pregnancy picture! Well I guess that is not true I took pictures of me on the night I was induced but for whatever reason it never saved to the camera! Ya I was pissed. But The pictures I have posted are of Rylan's room and me pregnant with him at almost 27 weeks. The ultrasound picture is Rylan at 18 weeks, which also at that ultrasound I was told I had a partial placenta previa. Placenta covering part of the cervix. I was put on pelvic rest for 10 weeks and had another ultrasound performed at 28 weeks where I was told things had resolved and everything looked great. During this pregnancy I did not throw up as much as I did with Liam. I was put on a higher dose of Zofran which helped the puking but I was a lot more nauseated I think due to not puking. I gained 36lbs. verses the 30 I gained with Liam. Liam, poor Liam was probably so bored because he is a large toddler and I had the hardest time chasing him and playing with him but he was a trooper and we both survived.

Playing Catch Up

Ya, okay I have done a horrible job keeping updated on my blog. I guess working full time with a toddler and being pregnant does not give a person much time to sit on here and update. Honestly I don't know why I am attempting to do it now because things are still very crazy around here. But I want the boys lives documented at least pictures put in a place for them and I to see. So this post is of Liam over this past summer. He loved going to the pool and running around outside before it got to hot. Me and Paul took him out to eat alot since it was inside and air conditioned, 9 months pregnant and the heat of Arizona, only others could guess how miserable I was.
