Well, it has been a little while. I was informed that if I didn't update soon I might be outed from the blogging world. ;) So, since we've seen you last lots has happened. We have added to our family one precious piece of cargo. Layla Marie Nolan. She arrived on Dec. 4 2009 @ 9:19 am via c-section. It was a very different experience from my first delivery, but everyone turned out happy and healthy. So overall success. Rylan is doing really well with the transition. At first he was showing definite signs of a confused toddler, but now is really showing a sweet love for her. He affectionately refers to her as "sissy," and has actually proven to be very helpful with her. I did find him in her crib with her the other day, which freaked me out a bit. But they were both seeming to enjoy it so, no harm done. Rylan is advancing his vocabulary everyday, and really getting to where he can tell us exactly what he wants. What a blessing to not be dealing with the language barrier as much anymore. Layla is doing very well. She ended up catching RSV from her big brother, and was hospitalized for 2 days. But now we are all home and healthy. Thank you Lord. She is a great eater and sleeps well also. We are getting good 6-8 hour stretches now every night. Another huge blessing. We really feel so blessed to have two happy and healthy children, that truly do enrich our lives more than we could have ever imagined.
Well since you have heard from us last, a little bit has gone on.:) Rylan turned 1, we have taken vacations, had birthdays, and grown a baby to about 71/2 months. But things have been great. The Lord has been very faithful, and is continuing to show us his direction for our lives right now. Rylan is walking/running, and loving evry minute of his new found movement. We are having so much fun watching him grow and look forward to watching him adjust to his new little sister, Layla Marie, in just a few short months.
I know I have been slacking a bit on the blogging. You all will have to bear with me, this pregancy is sucking the life out of me. :) But things are going very well. We are 10 weeks and counting. This pregnancy is flying by, I am really trying to enjoy every part of it. I know it is going to be over before I know it and I don't want to miss out on all the special joys of it. Rylan is doing wonderful. Growing up and adjusting to life faster and faster each day. It really does make me sad to see this time go by, but I am learning a lot about living in the moment. And soaking up all of the joys and the hardships that life is bringing us right now. The Lord is constantly showing us His faithfulness and we are thankful. Have fun catching up with us right now. :)
Cinco De Mayo mommy style.
For Cinco this year my mommies group had a little fiesta of our own.Rylan was thrilled.
We got the opportunity to go to Pine Top for the week with some friends for spring break, and had an awesome time. I've never been really big on the forest, but it was fun time to spend hanging out with friends. The weather was pretty much perfect and we had lots of time to catch up and laugh. Can't go wrong with that.
So Dylan is I guess what you would refer to as a an avid mountain biker. Really loves it, has all the gear for it, and drives an hour to get to his favorite mountain. That's pretty good dedication, I think. But he is determined to get Rylan on a bike as soon as possible. So we took advantage of the amazing weather we have and hit the road for a nice long bike ride. I am more of a beach cruiser kind of biker, so we just road through some fun neighborhoods. But the weather was perfect and it was fun to explore new realms of adventure as a family.
I am not sure if there is something more pitiful than watching your little one not feel good. But definitely watching them do the things that are suppose to make them feel better makes you even sadder. They look at you like you are doing this horrible thing to them, and you can't tell them otherwise. So yes, Rylan had a pretty good round of congestion that the Dr. ended up prescribing breathing treatments for. He really doesn't like it but is such a cuddle bug during it that I have started to like it. :)
