Here is a picture that I found of Riley and her daddy. Riley is just a few weeks old.



As we await the arrival of Brenden Ringman, Riley is getting more and more involved with the pregnancy. She has a Brenden in her belly too. He has been moving a lot in the last few days and it feels as if he is running out of room in there. I know that we still have about 2.5 months left but its starting to feel little he is growing faster then my belly is right now. I am still not as large as I was with little Miss Riley but I think little Mr. Brenden will be bigger too. I go to the doctor on Tuesday for my 28 wk. check up, we will see what it said at the point. I am also hoping to come home soon to visit with the family and attend graduation parties. Tuesday's appointment will tell me if that is possible or not. Keep your fingers crossed that I can still travel that far. Oh and we are planning to have a repeat c-section with Brenden too. I think that it will be easier for everyone if we know what day he will be arriving. Some maybe on Tuesday we will have a delivery date.

We are still working on getting the other computer fixed. I guess we have learned that its not that big of a deal for us to have a computer or not so I am sorry I will try to work on that in the next few weeks.

School is done for the summer and I will have lots of time to work around the house clean up Brenden's room and get things in order for his BIG day.

LIFE GETTING BACK TO NORMAL!!?

Well my surgery went well. The doctor believes that I passed the stone before I went in on Thursday. He could not find the stone once he was up in there. So to help pass anything else that may not have come out then or during surgery he placed a stint in me. It's a long tub that goes from the right kidney to the urinary tract to help keep it open. Yes is sounds painful and it is very uncomfortable. Using the bathroom is a difficult task. Not only am I 26 weeks pregnant and use the bathroom all the time already this nice little tub has me going just about every 30 mins. or so. The first day I was home I thought I had to go all the time and nothing would happen. It's getting better but its still going to be a long time until Monday at 8:15am when I go back to the doctor to have this thing removed. Throughout this whole process the baby (which still does not have a name yet) is doing great. His heart rate is wonderful and the OB doctor who took care of me during surgery was very pleased with his heart rate at this stage of pregnancy. Grandma Ringman came down to help care for Riley while I was unable to pick her up and do all those wonderful mommy things. It was great to have the extra hands and caring heart here to help. Riley loved the company.

Sorry we are still waiting to have the laptop fixed. I will try to post some pictures this weekend from the desktop but I dont know how well it is going to work. I will get some pictures on here soon.

BUSY BUSY BUSY!!!!!

Well its been a roller coaster ride for me and everyone around. I have kidney stones and will be going this Thursday to have them removed. Yes that means surgery. I will stay over night the night before so the OB doctor can monitor me and the baby before, during and after the surgery to make sure there are no changes. Things are still crazy with just moving and being ill with these kidney stones. Riley has handled all of this well so far. We will see what happens in the next couple of days when mommy is not at home again and in the hospital. She has been a great girl. She is still working on her potty training and doing a good job with it. She is letting us all know when she needs to go. Sometimes its in time and other times its a little late but its the idea that matters right now.

We are hoping to get our computer fixed this weekend so we can post some pictures of the belly and Riley. Well we will share more later. Have a great weekend.
