Our Rainbow

Ok, so I have not been the best at updating this blog but I have so many friends that update their blogs constantly and it has inspired me.

Well, life without Tyler has been up and down. Since school got out it has been nice to relax and not have as much stress. I picked up crocheting but I am still in the beginner stage. I will post some projects in the near future. My goal is to knit a blanket for Mason.

That is right we are expecting our rainbow baby. This baby started out as Baby M. Ryan and I always knew that if we had a little girl her name would be Morgan, after Ryan's grandmother. And I have always loved the name Mason, so we stuck with that. At 12 weeks, they were able to tell it was a boy .... so Mason it is. I always had the feeling that I would have boys, so no surprise to me.

This week marks the start of my 18th week and next week at the specialists appointment we will be able to tell for sure if it really is a boy. Mason has been a great joy to me. I knew I would worry but I was surprised at how quickly I embraced this new little one. The other night I felt his first kicks and it was such a joy. It was three swift kicks in a row, it was almost like he figured out he could kick. It was wonderful. I woke up Ryan and had him feel but he was so asleep that he doesn't remember :). We also had a wonderful family let us borrow their heart beat doppler monitor and that has been a blessing. We love listening to Mason's heart beat and to be honest we do every day.

The first picture is at 7 weeks and the second picture of the little guy is at 12 weeks, so he is much much bigger now. Next week I will be able to share his 19th week picture and it will be so amazing to see the difference.

Ryan just started his new part time job delivering pizza. He is excited to be back in the work force and I couldn't be happier for him. He is only working ten hours a week, so hopefully a more permanent job will come along and quick.

Well that is all for now, I promise I will have more to share soon.
