Swimming with Daddy

Here are a couple of pictures of Riley and Ben in our BIG pool. We went shopping for a couple of things that we needed to get for Brenden and Ben found this pool. I think he was more excited about it then Riley was. We came home and he put it up right away and went swimming. He had to really talk Riley into going but she loves to go swimming now.

WE MADE IT BACK!!!!!

After learning that it would cost more to fix laptop one we decided to go and get a new one. So today we went out shopping and found one that is wonderful. We will still see about talking to Dell and what we can do with the other computer but for now we will have a computer to update everyone. With just a little over a week until Brenden's birthday I thought it would be nice to have some pictures of him on the web page when he arrives.


We are looking forward to all the company that will be here to visit with The Ringman's. I also have a few pictures that I would like to share with everyone. Let me get things ready and my camera set up on this computer and I will post some new pictures.


I will be going to the doctor on Thursday for my last appointment before D-Day. Last week we meet the doctor that will be preforming my c-section and she is wonderful. She is also the head of Labor and Delivery. She too said that I made a good choice about a repeat c-section because my hips are not large enough to delivery children naturally. And once again she informed me that I would have a large baby this time around too. Brenden is in the head down position but he had not dropped yet. So we will she what is said in a couple of days when we return for our 38 week appointment.

4 weeks to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With just four weeks to go until Brenden's arrival. I would like to know what you all think he will weigh and how long he will be. But before you go and through out some number let me give a little bit of information.

Riley - 6lbs. 14 oz and 21.5 inches Before she was born I was told that she was going to be an 8 lb. baby because my belly was measuring bigger then what it should have at the time.

My doctor said that Brenden will be a least a pound bigger then Riley because once again I am measuring bigger then I should be at this time. Now Ben was unusually small for a full term baby weighing in at 5lbs. and I was an average baby weighing in at 7lbs. 14oz. So with this information I would like to know what you all think this "little" guy will weigh. Since we already now his birthday we will be guessing on his weight and height. You may even guess how much hair he will have and who he will look like. Riley looked just like daddy at birth but is now a little cutie and looking like her mommy.

The last post shows a picture of my belly and how large I am at 35 weeks. This may help you and it may not.

GOOD LUCK!!

35 WEEKS!!!

Well with just 5 weeks to go to my due date Ben and I have decided to go for a repeat c-section. So with that I will only have 4 weeks to go because Brenden will be born on August 9, 2007. I will go and meet the doctor who will deliever Brenden on August 2 and we will know a time. We have been playing with the idea of a repeat c-section all through this pregnency due to Ben being redeployed to Iraq. We have come to understanding that they will receive orders to be leaving some time in mid to late September. This will allow Ben and Brenden to bond a little before Ben leaves for 15 months. We are looking forward to having a family of four.
