Baby Update

Sheree went to the doctor today and now measures 31cm which is a 5cm improvement, but she is still little. The doctor will do another ultrasound on December 31 and if my fluid is below a 5, then they are going to take the baby, which will be 3 weeks early. AHHH, a new years baby isn't what we planned so hopefully relaxing over the holiday will do the trick! Only one more day of school and then we're out for 2 weeks!

Riley has been doing amazing! Since Thanksgiving, he has only hit someone at school ONCE! This is awesome for him and we are so proud of him for finally learning to control his aggression! He knows that if he hits at all, doesn't matter who or for what reason, that he loses games for that day and he lives for his video games! Currently, he is loving playing Indiana Jones 2...we mastered Super Mario for the Wii!

Tyler was sick last week and got an ear infection. The only person who he will let give him medicine is Riley so that has been fun to watch Riley be a good big brother and coax Tyler to take his medicine. He has fought going to the daycare all week so we are so looking forward to our break!

Ryan has been healthy and busy with work. He had his work party this afternoon and ate at the Red Iguana in Salt Lake and then went to race gocarts with his colleagues. Unfortunatly he hasn't been riding his bike but hopefully soon. He did put together our half crib for the baby in our room so that is all ready to go! And he has had tons of fun shoveling the snow off the driveway!

Thanksgiving and other randomness....


So we celebrated Thanksgiving with just us 4 this year and here is the picture that was taken about 4:00 when dinner was ready. Tyler was asleep and we didn't dare wake him! We missed being with Ryan's family but at the same time it was nice to enjoy a quiet meal at home!



SNOW!!! We woke up to snow yesterday morning and of course Tyler wanted to go out and play...Riley preferred to stay in the house with mom!








And here is a picture of Sheree with her pregnant belly that was taken on Thanksgiving night. Tyler likes to feel the baby but doesn't want a baby and Riley wants nothing to do with mom's tummy!










Finally, here is a picture of Tyler's new bunkbed that Ryan put together and both boys like to play in and during the day kitty likes to sleep in it! So now we can use Riley's room as a guest room and put all 3 boys in Tyler's room since we have the bunkbed and crib ready to go!

Baby Update

So Sheree went in Monday for a follow-up ultrasound and everything looks good! They did a very thorough examination and predict that the baby is 3 pounds 10 ounces instead of 2 1/2 pounds! The fluid level increased from a 2 to an 8 (5-24 is the normal range). She still has to drink lots of water and try to take it easy. The baby has a big head and long legs, but a small torso, so he sounds just like another Riley. Thanks for the extra prayers, phone calls and well wishes...we sure are relieved and are hoping to have a peaceful christmas!

The boys are doing well. Riley has had a good week at school so far and has played really well with Tyler at home. We rented the new Super Mario Brothers for the Wii and have loved playing it and are currently on World 8...this is Riley's motivation to have a good day at school so that he and mom can play Mario at home! Riley loves to read and is doing well at his math and spelling.
Tyler is still Mr. wild child! He loves to run around and his new favorite phrase is "Ta-Da" off of the travelocity gnome commercial. He will do something new and say "Ta-Da" and everyone will laugh, so he'll keep doing it. He has started to throw more fits and runs in his room and shuts the door, which is what he has learned from Riley, so this has helped Riley learn to be a better big brother! He is in a new bunkbed but still won't go to sleep on his own and is often waking mom and dad up in the middle of the night. Hopefully by christmas he will be a good sleeper again!
