ON Monday JULY 16th

Rylan had his appointment with his urologist Monday ..It went pretty well.... The urlogist siad his reflux is now a grade 2 if even that on the right side and a grade 4 on the left side ...he will still need to take the daily antibiotics till its fixed or has resolved itself ..

In one year another ultrasound to check his kidneys then in 18 months another VCUG if there is no improvement at that time .Rylan would need surgery ...They would go in and cut then reattach where the ureters go into the bladder....The other procedure where they just go in through a catheter doesn't look like it would be the best option...

This doctor might be moving to Idaho in January, so we might start being seen by his partner and that his partner has different views on how to treat reflux Hmmmm .......But he did say that if it was his daughter with this problem he would take her to the partner ........

I just hate this and hope and pray that Rylan will just grow out it !!!

July 8th 2007

Time to catch up a little
Wyatts birthday has come and gone July 2nd 2007 its been 3 years ..I looked at the calendar the other day and it dawned on me someday I will be looking at the calendar and its going to have a 30 or a 40 where that 3 is this year ….I don’t know it just seemed weird ………..

Ok On July 6th Rylan showed me that he knows how to roll his patty cakes ..It was so cute . I haven’t played patty cake with him for a while, I am not sure how long at least a few weeks I would say. So anyways I was doing it with him on the 6th and when we got to the “ You roll ‘um and you Roll’um he ROLLED them, Yes it was exciting

Yesterday we went on a day trip to Hanley farm It’s a historic farm from the 1850s ..We did a garden tour, house tour went on buggy ride and a hay ride It was a beautiful day. Rylan didn’t sit in his stroller at all, he was on his little leash or we carried him … He loved the horses and when we were on the hay ride, he sat right under the seat, below the driver . Very Cute Little Boy indeed………

After our day at the farm we went out to dinner and Rylan sucked out of a straw for the first time EVER …. Daddy taught him how .That’s going to make giving him a drink a lot easier when we are out and about …

If you check out the videos you can see how much he LOVES swimming. He has no fear of the water at all which is kind of scary. We are triple proofing our baby proofing for next year and we will have the creek fenced off so we will just have to wait and see if we will leave the pool up…

Enjoy the new videos and pictures

Scrapbook pages ........

Until I get a link up you can look in my profile to link to the scrapbook pages I have done so far.....
Another good night sleep last night ..I think the diffrence has been a long sleeve shirt vs. short sleep shirt ............Its hot when we go to bed but cold in the early morning ....I have decied he can be a bit warm at night and it seems to be working ..I wish I had more long sleeve shirts for him he has grown out of most of the ones I had ...I did buy a few about 2 months ago Thank goodness.....Just wish they were a bit bigger ......

he is so handsome I swear I have a hard time getting through wal-mart with out his fan club stopping him.....Its really fun and funny how he flirts with people ..Yesterday he kept saying dats`dats`dats for "Whats that?' ...and one lady commented that it sounded like he was saying Aflac you know the insurance commercial through the whole store LOL............

VCUG

Rylan did pretty well....
They had suckers there and the x-ray tec asked if he was to little for one and I was all no, lets try, so we gave him the sucker to suck on while they got everything ready he just laid there looking around happy as could be ...........
Of course when they put the cath in he screamed and fought some ...They put some lidocain on in so it wouldn't burn to bad and after they got it in he did suck on his sucker a little more and offered everyone else a taste to LOL...
Then we got out the pinwheel and that kept him busy and quiet for a while, untill we had to turn him from side to side to get more x-rays ....it took about 45 minutes from the time we were called back, till we were done and walking out ....

Good news is that from what we could see the reflux on the grade 4 side looks completely better and the grade 5 side looked smaller/better to us too ..
We will have to wait and see what his ped urologist says when he sees the films/CD but we are confidant that it is looking better ......


We took some pictures and I will put them up later ..

Ryan ped called said the test show reflux of grade 3 on one side and grade 4 on the other ..... I am very interested to see what the urologist says

A post about Rylans birthday party !!

I feel bad about making such a lame post about such a exciting day, not to mention I am 2 weeks late doing it !!!
I have just been so busy living life and playing with Rylan and Andrew.. That there is just not much time for writing ....I have to say though, that life is wonderful right now I would never of dreamed I could be so happy or having so much fun....

Rylans birthday was greast fun, Although it was RAINING when I woke up ughhh...... It was cool all day, but at least it didn’t rain after the initial morning rain…..

Lets see we had about 30 people, aunts, uncles, grandmas, grandpas, cousins and friends..
The party started at 3pm and we served hotdogs, chip and soda......
Then we did pinyata ….Pin the tail on the donkey, opened presents, then had cake and ice cream …..
Rylan was in a great mood all day as usuall …
He took a nap and woke up after lots of people were already here and he just couldn’t figure out what everyone was doing at our house at the same time …..
He dug right into his cake, I was worried he would be up all night from all the sugar, but he did very well ..
I can’t believe he is 1 already such a big boy ….

Summer Plans !!!!

I had my girly check~up yesterday..... My doc asked me what plans I had for this summer and it felt good to say "Well I am not pregnant ....I am not trying to get pregnant.... I didn't just have a baby...... I am HAPPY........ so I am just going to enjoy it" .......
Lets see in 2003 I spent the whole summer worrying that the vasectomy reversal didn't work and I would never get pregnant........
Summer 2004 lost Wyatt July 2nd....
Summer 2005 spent worrying I wouldn't get pregnant AGAIN , because I had lost Tegan and Taylor, Their due date was supposed to be July 4th and it was also the first anniversarry of Wyatts death July 2nd...
Summer 2006 I had just had Rylan so I was definatly happy but recovering from a csection and the loss of half my blood so I couldn't do alot of summer~y things .....
Which brings us to now 2007......
I plan to working in my yard planting flowers, window shopping, tearing out the carpet in my house that I hate and putting in new flooring ....SWIM.....and pretty much relax and eat watermelons and ice cream ...Well I want to try to lose some of this pregnancy weight to, so will also try to start exercizing a little more .........

He was sick, But better Now ..

Just a copy and paste of the emails I sent for prayers ...
Poor Little Guy was sick on May 1st.......

I have to make it quick we are taking him to the docs this morning
...
He started with a fever last night about 8pm ...102.8 under the arm ...

He has some thing called Kidney reflux and we have to have him checked when fever over 101.00 ...we were at the ER till 2:30 did a throat culture and a cathader.....

He has a rare bacteria UTI they gave him a shot and sent us home to see his doctor today ....
he still has a fever and is very sick.....

Please Keep him in your thoughts and prayers Will update when we get back I am not sure if they will put him in hospital or not last time he was this sick he was in the hospital for 3 days

We got the results of the throat and urine culture and all is well............. No infections !!!!!! Just some mysterious ailment {{ I guess what ever they keep seeing as a rare bacteria is just something thats always there (( I'm not sure but will ask his uroligist about it next month )) }}..... ....

Poor Rylan James went through all that for nothing ......Thats just one of the reasons kidney reflux is a pain in the butt.....He has to be checked every time his temp is over 101.00 ........Well its almost summer and most of the nasty little viruses should be gone soon .....Thanks for all the prayers ....

A trip to Lithia Park

Rylan had his first try on the swings march 30th 2007 …He was very nonchalant about the whole deal…. I guess after I took Andrew over to the big swings Rylan started smiling …Little stinker …..That reminds me I never told how it went the day he started saying Dada ….Ok so he babbled it all day long and when Randy came home I didn’t tell him I wanted to see the look on his face when he heard it for the first time so………………………………………………….
I waited………………………………………………………..
And
…………………….. I waited………………. And………………. I waited…………… …It was driving me crazy…
I wanted to blurt out ‘HE SAID DADA” so bad, but I didn’t……..
Finally about 6:30 pm I had to pee ………..So I did …..
And when I got back Randy said guess what he said dada ………
Can you believe that !!!!!!!!

Ok so anyways heres the film I took of Rylans first time on a swing …I ran out of batteries on my camera so I didn’t get a million pictures …Andrew had some film left on a camera left from Florida so we used that …Hopefully there will be some good pictures

He'll Take it with him !!

Rylan has figured out that he can takes things like the remote control with him as he crawls around ….It so funny watching him crawl around holding on to things… The look of accomplishment on his face is priceless…. His other fav to crawl with is a pair of his pants, they keep getting hung-up under his knees, he gives them a yank and a pull and ends up usually having to sit up to get them out from under his knees

Patty cake Bye Bye Boy Mommy Loves You ...

He PATTY~CAKES now AND waves BYE~BYE Started last week
Yesterday he said hi to our dog and then waved, I swear he really did !!!!!!

He is starting to show his independence by throwing little fits when he wants something that you take away from him ..It cute really it is LOL at least for now ….

He has his nine month doctor visit tomarrow.. I can’t wait to see how much he weighs now I making a guess of 22lbs …

I have heard the the docs like to do a iron check at this age and I think Rylan is going tol fail it ..He doesn’t like baby food to much yet and pretty much just gags and pukes on cherrios.. If he would eat rice cereal mixed with something other than milk that would be a big help for his iron levels… I am hoping that she will prescribe baby vitamins if he is low on iron at least till he figures out that he can get full on something other than milk J

Its been snowing off and on here for the past 3 or 4 days its so fun waking up to snow ….

My Poor Mobile Baby !!!!

Poor Rylan is getting battered over here since he has learned to crawl and pull himself up ..He now sports a almost black eye from falling on his little airplane ...a red welt mark on his forehead from falling by the sliding glass door and a red bump on the side of his head from a little stool he pulled on himself ....
Last night he forgot that he doesn't know how to stand without holding on to something(well he was holding a book) and fell face first on the floor ......
My poor little guy.... My heart just breaks when I hear him scream ....

I don't know how parents co-sleep with their children... Rylan sleeps in his room in his crib but I brought him into bed with me this morning, I usually nurse him in the rocker at night then stick him back in his crib but this morning I was tired and just wanted to go back to bed ....Well he fell asleep right away thatt was nice but then I was stuck, I didn't want to move and wake him up.... Boy That was uncomfortable.... I was very happy when he woke up 3 HOURS later LOL...My poor back ...

Snow day

Rylans first snow day was January 16 ..We woke up to no snow and it started snowing very lightly about 9 am ….It kept snowing till afternoon we got about 21/2 inches ….Rylan laughed when he looked out the window when he saw it….But didn’t want to touch it once we went out to take his picture …..

Well me and Rylan have picked up a ring worm from some where in the last few weeks… ..Rylan likes to scratch me when he nurses, kinda like a kitten or a little puppy does when they nurse its very cute LOL and I thought he had scratched me a little hard in one place it was really burning and hurting for about a week ..Then when I was changing his diaper the other day I noticed a ring on his upper thigh and it dawned on me that we have ring worm ….. I have been putting medicine on us and it looks like we are clearing up …

The Accuser Becomes the Accused

Yep thats right Randy has been the one to say all along " We (((Well Me Because 'HE WOULDN'T DO SUCH A THING')) are not going to spoil the baby"
Hmmmm.....

I sent him to Toys-R-Us to pick up a exersaucer for Rylans Santa present and well I'm sure you have guessed by now, he came home with the most exspenceive one they had $120.00..

This is for something I was hoping to put in the bathroom for Rylan to play in while I take a shower LOL.......... Its so nice and he likes it so much we don't want to put it in the bathroom and its to big to be lugging all around the house, So next time I am at Toys R Us he is getting a cheapie for the bathroom......

Some Pictures from our trip

December 8th 2006
Getting caught up Finally LOL….
Our trip to Florida was great fun I spent the last half of our vacation with no voice. I picked up laryngitis somewhere along the way …. Randy put his back out and its still out …Andrew ended up with a blister on the bottom of his foot and had to take lots of breaks along with ibruprofin the last two days but all and all we had a great time and didn’t want to come home ..
Our room was really nice 2 bedrooms 2 bathrooms with a whirlpool tub in the masterbath That bath felt so good after walking I swear 20 miles a day Rylan loved getting in too…. I have a feeling he is going to love the water he already moves his legs like a froggie in the water its so cute ….

We spent our first day shopping at walmart for a pack and play for Rylan and food for us to stock the kitchen and we ate breakfast in our room every morning and also had dinner a few times and lots of snacks to munch on …..

The first few days in the parks we tried to not eat during the day but changed our tune after a couple of days and started bringing snacks with us but that only lasted a few days too and then we started eating at the parks during the days you need food walking that much and breastfeeding …

Here’s our itinerary and some picture from our trip Sorry there’s not more, but I started this blog entry on December 8th its now the 18th and I still haven’t had a chance to get through all the pictures I would like to put up and resize ….
