Two Month Stats....

Today Rowynn had his two month check-up. So far, he is 24 inches and he is weighing in at 13 pounds 6.5 ounces that puts him in the 90 percentile for both!

Yup... he's my big boy!

Poor guy had to have two shots today. He was so brave. He did cry after each one but he is doing good now. I'm just hoping he stays happy and fever free today.

Updates....

Alright...

First, I had an eye appointment today and my vision is now 20/25!! In the last ten days it has gone from 20/60 to 20/25... IMPROVEMENT!! I'm super excited and ready to be done with the whole mess. Unfortunately, I have to stay on the oral steroids for probably another 3-4 weeks. I will be taking 20mg for the next two weeks plus the steroid eye drops, antibiotics and dilating eye drops.

Second, I LOVE my new workout! I am doing Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred and it is GREAT! So far I have gone 8 days straight. I did level one for 7 days and went to level two today. Unfortunately, the oral steroids are making it hard for me to see much in the way of body change. My face is still fat and tummy has gotten bigger since starting the steroids. My doctor says that once I am off the steroids I should see a vast improvement in my results. So, I'm trying VERY hard not to get discouraged. I just really want to see results since I'm putting in so much hard work.

My bible reading is going well. I'm not getting in as many pages a day as I want but I am getting in as many as I can per day. I'm just happy that I'm sticking with it this time. I'm really enjoying learning the word of God.

Going to my eye appointment

That's my life in a nutshell!

Two Months!

My baby is two months old today!

"My big sister is an angel"... yes she is! Thank you Carrie.

Egg-cellent Weekend

What a wonderful weekend! Not only was it beautiful but we have such an amazing reason to celebrate. We are given salvation through Jesus Christ and his work on the cross. I'm so thankful for my salvation and the knowledge of where I will be when my time comes. I'm so thankful that Abigayl is in such an amazing place and that one day I will meet her there.

My handsome men!

Saturday we had our Sunday School class over for an egg hunt and lunch. What a spectacular day! The weather was in the 70's, it was sunny and beautiful. This was our second annual egg hunt. Last year it was 4 adults and 2 children and this year it was ~22 adults and ~16 kids!! I'm really looking forward to next year and seeing how much it grows.

There were plenty of candy filled eggs to find. I think there were about 12-16 dozen eggs. It was a really great day!

Ready, Set, Go!

Taking stock...

Rowynn slept through the egg hunt.

Sunday was a busy day as well. We started our morning with church and then headed to Sedan, KS to see family.

Mommy's ready but Rowynn still needs to get dressed!

Ready to visit family!

It was a fun filled, love filled, happy weekend. We are so blessed.

Toys!!

Last week Rowynn got a visit from his grandma Linda, great-aunt Pat and granny. Boy did they come with full arms! Rowynn got lots of fun toys and even a potty training seat!

There is a ball that when it moves it plays music and lights up. He has really been enjoying that one. I have it down on his play mat and whether intentional or accidental, he tends to hit it often.

He also got a book that sings and lights up. So much fun for our little guy.

A present that is as much for me as for him, his walker! I love having this thing! He wasn't sure about it when I first put him in it.

But he sat so sweetly while I took a bunch of pictures (and then did dishes!)

All I could get was a half smile!

Thank you Linda, Pat and granny. We have enjoyed all the new fun things. Plus, it was great to see you.

Shredding

All right, I know I said I was going to do couch to 5k but I work out best in the morning after Rowynn's feeding. So, instead of couch to 5k I am doing Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred.

It is a 3 level workout DVD that has 3 ~20 minute workouts that combine strength training, cardio and abs.

So far I have done it two days and I'm really feeling it! I look forward to tracking my progress on here. My plan is to do level one for another 5 days, move to level 2 for seven days and then finish it out in level 3. I'll have to see the intensity level when I get to 2 & 3, but it is my plan for now!

Balloon Found!!

I woke up this weekend to an email from a gentleman that found the remains of one of Abigayl's birthday balloons. Needless to say, it was very emotional for me. It was so moving that almost one year after releasing 130 balloons for my baby girl, one was found an hour southeast of Kansas City. That's probably a four hour drive for us!

His email said that he and a friend were scouting turkey hunting spots DEEP in the woods. He said that he found the string and tag almost a mile from the road in very thick trees. I'm just so thankful that he took the time to email me. It means so much to know that one of Abigayl's balloons made it into the hands of such a nice person.
