3 weeks, or so...

Any day now...

Rockin Baby Ryan 2

can safely make an appearance.

So how about

taking your chances

and making some guesses?

Here are some "hints"

that could possibly help.....

or not!

Mothers intuition?

I have felt that this baby will be a girl from the beginning.

I also thought Trent was a boy all along....

could I be correct twice?

I am partially going off of symptoms that follow the typical

"old-wives tales".

Like how sick I was with Trent (more), supposedly worse

with boys.

Where I gained weight and how I carried baby 2

is a little different than Trent.

While pregnant with Trent I had many dreams I was having a girl....

I have this time too!

Everyone I know thinks I am having a girl...

If this is a boy, no one will believe it!

Arrival time--

During my entire pregnancy with Trent we thought

he would be early.

VERY WRONG!

So, I am not getting my hopes up this time!

Size-

Trent was 7lb 12 oz.  20.5in

I have been told I don't look as big as last time....

I don't feel that way!

36 weeks!

Not much longer!

Our little "CHEEESSEEE"-

camera loving

show off

will soon be

Big Brother!

Babe's heart rate has been 148-153.

We had a little scare that little one was going to arrive a little too

early last week.

A high fever sent me to the hospital with contractions every

2-5 minutes.

Luckily the contractions caused no changes and were

stopped with some fluids, medications and rest.

We are all feeling much better now, and hoping little one

will "cook" at least another week.

Get your guessing game ready......

poll is coming soon!

Blessed!

Leaving your child in the hands of another

is a scary,stressful guilty feeling.

A couple months ago, our sitter informed us she was moving.

We had to find someone else to watch Trent

part time on the days I work.

We thought it was the end of our world.

We prayed and searched.

I have to say we have been blessed with the results.

Trent is SO happy to go to the sitters house.

He really likes older girls, so gets along great with her 3 year old

daughter.

Even when she dresses him up....!

They go on outings,

like to the museum, story time, the park, out to lunch,

anything fun and to keep busy.

These are pictures that I have received on my phone, and little

texts throughout the day letting me know what they are doing and just to say "hi".

It is so reassuring to know that he is in such a wonderful place,

is loved and cared for like part of their family

while ours is apart.

It is hard being a stay at home mom.

I admit that the days Trent and I are together

are more exhausting than the days I work at the hospital.

So, I know that we have someone special in our lives

that is willing to give so much to our little guy!

We are blessed!

Love, the rockinryans

1,2,3,4!

It is hard to believe that we are already through the 1st month of the year!

Time is flying by this 2nd month, there is lots of preparation under way.

Practicing for our family of 3 to soon become 4!

Love, the rockinryans
