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!
