My baby boy is no longer 0, this day is a great day not only because my healthy baby boy was born but because its the day my cancer was removed as well. its been a crazy year. but one that i wouldn't change for the world. Sounds funny when i say that, who wouldn't change getting cancer? its not that i loved it and welcomed it with open arms(because that certainly was not the case que hysteria and panic attacks), but it has taught me a lot. It has taught me to have faith and to trust in the Lord, more then I ever imagined I could. It has taught me to love my family and to enjoy each moment with my husband and my sweet baby boy, I am forever grateful that i'm healthy again and can see my babies grow and be a mother, its one of the best things I could ever imagine being. This past year has been full of so many good memories, it far outweighs the bad and i hope all my years to come are the same way. Life has been challenging, but every day when im woken up to Rykers sweet smiling face it makes the challenges a little easier to deal with
My pregnancy emotions are getting the best of me, i turn into this sappy cliche for 9 months it seems.
But this past week Blake took off work and we went to Canmore. We had tons of fun and Blake felt the baby kick for the first time, its been kicking now for nearly 3 weeks but seems to be asleep each time Blake tries to feel lol. We went on a hike up a frozen creek to some falls, which was really pretty and slippery but we had come prepared with ice cleats.
Our timeshare had a heated indoor/outdoor pool and we went swimming nearly every day, Ryker is learning to kick his feet and holding his breathe under water. We went skating out on the pond just off main street, Blake and I hadn't been skating since we were dating and the skates we had were a little on the small side so it was a quick skate but Ryker loved to be pulled in the sled.
my favorite part about the trip was last friday, Blakes parents spent the week in Edmonton and on their way back made a de-tour out to Canmore and watched Ryker for the day so Blake and I could go dog sledding. We were out at Spray Lakes and it was a 10 km ride. Blake and I unfortunetly got split up as there are 3 people to a sled so 2 couples had to split. but the Lady i had to squish in the basket with was nice. Blake got to drive the sled all by himself, they teach you the commands and you follow a guide who tells you certain hills or turns were coming up. We were in the back of the group of 12 sleds, our dogs were on their last run of the day and were just mozy-ing along and we were pretty far away from the rest of the group. when you go uphill you had to get off the back of the sled and help push it up. Blake doesn't enjoy running, let alone up a hill in snow gear helping push a sled with 2 adults in it, safe to say he was pretty tired after.
Blake and I at the half way point
they were so cute, i wanted to take them all home
after the sled ride we got to hold one of the puppies, it was adorable, and now i want one.
Sat morning we got up and drove back to Medicine Hat and everyone came for Rykers birthday, we ended up having it at the church which was good because 26 people ended up coming. Our family is getting way to big to do family functions.
Todd and Becky made this awesome came for Ryker and he loved it, he was covered in the blue icing after. Ryker was spoiled and crashed pretty hard that night after coming down from his sugar high.
Today was a good day, Blake doesn't have to go back to work till tomorrow and i was able to go in for my ultrasound today. we found out Ryker is going to have a little baby brother. I hopefully they wont get into too much trouble.
2 boys... what am i going to do with 2 boys? I am excited for it to be a boy, as i don't have to go out shopping for all new clothes, but i hope that i will be blessed with a baby girl at some point, growing up with only brothers ive always dreamed of having a little baby girl, but for now i will be way out numbered :)
i guess that will take away some stress of having 2 boys so close together is I've had a boy before and survived, hopefully he will be a great baby just like Ryker.
we were excited with how many people showed up, rykers cousin Wyatt came to visit for the first time!
this cake was awesome and i'm so glad becky and todd were able to make it, as i didn't have time to make a cake when we got back from canmore.
ryker liked the cookies around the cake as well as the eyeballs
using his new birthday walker
what was left after he demolished it
eating more cake on his actual birthday
rykers heard shaped bruise , learning to walk is paying a toll on his head, he seems to have a new bruise every week.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE BOY! cant believe in 4 months you will no longer be my only baby!!
