ok, ok...so I said I'd keep this blog up....but I have not! ooops! Ry's a lot of work...I didn't expect! My sister asked if I'd update this with pics....I'll add pics later....Today we got a call from Ryder's blood work....he' s NOT anemic ANYMORE! yay! goodbye ferensol (iron drops) maybe the poor guy won't be gassy/ fussy anymore! I was so happy to hear that! finally!! Ryder is over ten lbs now! 22 1/2 inches long! and he just hit his due date on the 4th! We met a few babies that were born the same week he was, but full term, they only weigh 13, or 14 lbs....ry's catching up! His DR said on the growth chart he's catching up to, fast. We are so blessed!

Now all we have to deal with is his poor allergies! If I take him out for just a few minutes, he' s sneezing, and later all stuffy....poor guy. But hey, if thats all we have to worry about right now, thats nothing!

The strange bump thing on the back of his head is almost healed....and we are so happy for that!

He' s been going through therapy twice a week, next week starting another day. He has physical, occupational...and a developmental specialist as well.....thats his fav one because they come to our house, in his comfort zone. Lindsay is her name, and she's great with him.

We are still watching closely for hydrocephalus (water on the brain) but so far so good : )

Ryders doing great, and I know it's cuz all of the faith and prayers. Thank you!

It was so great meeting little Ryder the other night at R.S. I noticed during the program all the other babies cried but I never heard him. He is a sound sleeper! what a good boy!

YAY HAPPY DUE DATE DAY!!! Lindsay is great! We just love her! We have our PT and Speech Therapist come to our house too. It's really nice to just have them come to us and not worry about packing up and going somwhere else.
