First Chore

Little Plum

That is how big the baby is already!

Today started out with some excitement.

We went in for our appointment and got a great heartbeat on the baby. 178!

I had mentioned that I had been having a feeling that there were

two

in there.

So the nurse moved the Doppler to the other side...

turning slightly pale

she stopped and said

"I will send you for an ultrasound."

We did a quick one upstairs and could see the baby great

but there was also something on the other side.

This is the same area I had a previous cyst and endometriosis.

I also still have pain there.

She thought she had possibly heard another heartbeat,

so for a couple hours

we thought we were either having twins

had twins and one had passed

or my cyst had returned.

It was a little exciting to think about, but also a little overwhelming!

I couldn't imagine having 3 under 2!

So, we went back for the sono

and there was our second

rockin baby.

I named Trent rockinbabyryan because

he never sat still in the womb. (still doesn't!)

Looks like this one is following in big brothers footsteps!

The sonographer was even laughing at all the stretching

and kicking little one was doing!

It also looks like we have a thumb sucker!

About the size of a small plum, still too small to weigh.

Look out world, we have another mover and shaker

on the way!

Big Move

After 19 years my parents decided

it was time to down size.

I didn't take the news well at first.

Even though I didn't spend my "childhood"

in this home,

there are still tons of memories in between those walls.

Also, I always envisioned bringing my children

to this home to visit

Sittie and Grandad.

We tried with all our might to make them believe

they were making the wrong decision.

But, they knew what the wanted.

We were all there for moving day.

I have to admit, I wasn't as sad as I had expected.

The hard part will be going "home"

for the Holidays.

After a long, hard, hot day of moving

Trent and I went to their new home and watched as they

began unpacking.

My parents were so excited and happy,

I haven't seem them beaming like that for a long time.

So, how can I not be happy too?

We are looking forward to making new memories

in their new home!

Tuesdays with Trent

I have been so lucky to have the best of both worlds.

I love my career and I love being a mom.

But the day I look forward to the most is

Tuesday.

I never work on Tuesday.

Tuesday is always Trent.

We always have a full day together.

Our favorite thing to do every Tuesday is to go to the library.

They have an amazing children's center.

Complete with a castle...

Super beads...

Computers....

And lots of books!

Yeah for Tuesday!

Love, the rockinryans

BIG bean!

Poor baby, I am having a hard time remembering to "capture" all those special moments for you.

Already the size of a kidney bean, complete with facial features, fingers, toes

and a beating heart.

You are just as special to us as your big brother.

You seem to be growing much faster than he did though!

That is good,

We love to see you grow!

Love, the rockinryans

BIG 6!

Happy Anniversary to my very bestest friend.

We knew it would be fun, didn't we!!

Love, rockinmamaryan
