Please pray for our baby!!!
Today was not such a great day....Sheree had a routine doctor visit and measured 26 cm which is smaller than normal. Since this was the 2nd small measurement, the doctor wanted an ultrasound. The fluid level is low, it is at a 2 and should be at least a 5 (what these numbers mean I don't know) but worse yet is that the baby isn't growing like he should. He is measuring 2- 2 1/2 pounds (which is not even on the normal percentile charts) and should be 3-3 1/2 pounds. As you can see I only have 8 weeks left to incubate and so the worry is there. They gave me steroid shots to help the baby's lungs develop in case they have to take him early because of fluid levels. I have another ultrasound on Monday with the technicians so hopefully all will be resolved by then. So, we are asking for additional prayers on our behalf so that the baby will grow normally and that Sheree and family can have peace of mind knowing that all will be well!

Happy Halloween!

Uh - Oh.....
The pictures explain it all...yep, Tyler can officially climb out of his crib. Ryan and I went out last night and Tyler thought the babysitter put him to bed too early so he learned how to climb out. He called out this morning and when we didnt get him, he got out and came running to our room. So I guess my baby is growing up and it is time for a big boy bed.

October Update
I haven't posted in awhile because I wanted to add pictures but I am just so lazy at the moment that I will just write about our last month!
SICK! That describes us at the moment...Tyler threw up Wednesday morning so dad stayed home with him Wed and mom Thursday...well guess who was up all night last night...DAD! So Ryan is staying home today sick and we are supposed to drive down to St. George this afternoon for Grandma April's wedding tomorrow, but I don't know if we are going to make it. Riley was complaining of symptoms last night too...mom got a flu shot yesterday since her doctor talked her into it and boy is she glad that she did! Tyler was better after one day so hopefully dad will be too and we're praying that Riley and mom don't get sick this weekend!
Riley and Tyler got to spend a whole week with Grandma Sharla and a few days with Grandpa Dave while mom and dad went to Orlando. The boys had a great time and got to do fun things like visit with Great-Grandma Darlene, Linda and Barr, went to the dinosaur museum in Ogden, play Toy Story mania on the WII, sleep in every morning... they had fun and so did mom and dad! Unfortunately, we didn't take any pictures while we were there, but it was hot, like in the 90's and humid...Sheree was naughty and rode most of the roller coasters...it was nice, so thanks mom and dad! (They will get to enjoy their stay at the Boardwalk hotel in a few weeks so hopefully the trade off was worth it! :)
We put up our halloween decorations and Tyler has enjoyed playing dress up with all the old halloween costumes. He will be Buzz Lightyear and Riley will be Luigi. We even cleaned out our garage on Sheree's birthday! Just trying to get things organized now for the holidays and the new baby. Riley went back on track this past Monday and is doing phenomenal! He's not excited about the homework but he loved going to the library and getting a new book.
Hope that all is well with everyone else!

LOTOJA Results!!!
So Ryan raced the Lotoja on Saturday and he rode 206 miles in 3 states in 10 hours, 49 minutes and 41 seconds! He got 20th place out of 42 in his group. He got 360th place out of 844 male riders. He got 378th place out of the 928 finishers (I don't know if this included all the relay teams or not.)
It was such a blast and fun to see him every few hours at the checkpoints! He did awesome, had fun but now is super sore, especially his bottom! At one of the stops, there was a guy holding a sign that said, "How's your butt?" Imagine sitting on a bike for 11 hours!
I will upload pictures from my phone when I can figure it out...can you believe that we forgot the camera!? Anywho...congrats Ryan! Awesome job! Love you babe! :)

Baby Names
We had another ultrasound yesterday and all looks well with the baby, and yep it is still a boy! So we have come up with 3 names that we like...Brock, Parker or Hayden. The middle name will be Ryan...so which name should it be?
Brock Ryan Christensen
Parker Ryan Christensen
Hayden Ryan Christensen
On a side note...Tyler threw up twice today so dad stayed home in the morning and mom in the afternoon. We'll do the same thing tomorrow. Riley got both his bakugan cards today! Another 7 school days and then he'll be off track. Ryan is gearing up for the Lotoja race and mom is getting nervous about driving and making all the pit stops! Things are good though...yep, can't complain!

UPDATE
Just thought that I would post a quick update on what has been happening...
Tyler went back to school with mom and is in the NobleNight Daycare at Northridge High School where mom works. He is the oldest one in his "class" but has been a very big helper. He doesn't like getting up at 6:45 in the mornings and has a hard time saying good-bye to mom, but he loves playing with all his "friends" again! And at home he is busy playing outside and of course he loves the street, roaming in other neighbors yards and garages and ringing their doorbells! He keeps mom on her toes!
Riley has had 2 fabulous weeks and we are trying to make it 3 in a row! He earned another Bakugan ball at school and is now awaiting its arrival in the mail. He has sure enjoyed earning up to 2 Bakugan cards each day and has been busy at home playing with friends, riding his bike, doing his homework etc. He has 2 1/2 more weeks until he goes off track for 3 weeks.
Sheree is now back to work again and has pretty good classes, but they are larger than usual because of all the budget cuts but she is glad to have a job! And of course she is trying to do all the other usual stuffs that moms do!
Ryan is gearing up for the LOTOJA race (Logan, UT to Jackson Hole, Wyoming) which takes place on Saturday September 12. It is a 206 mile race. He has continued doing the RMR's (Rocky Mountain Raceway criteriums) and got 7th place last night and is ranked #33 in his flite.
We enjoyed our first cantaloupe and carrots out of our garden last week. We have tons of tomatoes and cucumbers too. Riley is selling our mini pumpkins to the neighbor kids. And we have a lot of other cantaloupe and watermelons growing that we can't wait to eat!
Yep, things are good right now...can't complain! Hope everyone else is good!
