Balding

My poor little man can't seem to grow any hair. And then what little he has, he has managed to rub off in the back. I am seriously considering cutting off that tiny portion in the back, but Bill won't let me. So we continue to hope that someday he will grow hair...

Well, I am up at an ungodly hour due to the fact that I should be at work right now. I am 'on call', which mean that the hospital can call me at any time from 7pm to 7am and I have to go in within 30 minutes. I HATE call. But at least my house is getting clean in the process. It is rather difficult to truly get into cleaning when I have Ryan. It seems I will get half the floor mopped, and then he is done playing with whatever he is playing with and wants only me. So I wait to do major cleaning after he is in bed or taking a good nap, but then I run into the fact that I myself am tired. Its a rather vicious cycle. I think it's past the point where I am supposed to 'sleep when he sleeps'. He's not even completely mobile and he can wear me out!

Getting old

I have found my first grey hair! I am rather upset about this. Perhaps it has been caused by Ryan. Ya know, all those sleepless nights and days and such. Oh, why oh why could not the grey hair fall out instead of the masses of normal brown hair?! Yes, I am molting it seems, but the grey clings with a vicious life of its own. Such cruelty is life, and getting old.

We are LAND OWNERS!

Well, we're not quite officially landowners yet. We are putting down earnest money so we can scramble to come up with the whole 10% by the end of December. I think we could do it within a few weeks, but I think it would be more wise if we took our time and didn't exhaust all savings and such. I am so excited! It's seven acres of undeveloped land, set back at the end of Krampota lane (a dead end street). Right up our road is a catfish farm that Ryan and Bill can go fishing at when Ryan gets big enough. Of course, we could also have a pond on our land if we wanted as well. It has tons of trees and all sorts of fun stuff that I can just envision, of course, with more money than we will ever have to actually build them. But I am hoping for a nice home, and a wonderful place for Ryan to be a boy. I saw evidence of children on the road, so he shouldn't be too lonely. When I go by later today, I will take pictures so I can share with all my enthusiasm. Yeah! Debt, here we come!

There seems to be a trend....

I have just looked over my website, and have found a recurring theme. Ryan is the only one ever posted. Not Ryan and Bill, or Ryan and me, or Bill and me, but just Ryan. The only reason Bill and I made it on is because I couldn't figure out how to post our picture like the Yu's. So instead I mistakenly posted our picture with the help of Hello, which I don't even need!

I have looked through our pictures, and this is the closest to getting us all in, but Ryan just doesn't look happy. Oh well, I'm sure he'll get used to his geeky parents making a fool over him before its all said and done.

And by the way, I am still waiting on a few phone calls. Its still my special day...You know who you are. (If you need another day, I think I can extend my birthday to tomorrow to accomodate all.)

Happy Birthday to ME!

I am such a kid when it comes to my birthday. I woke up this morning with Ryan, and before Bill could wish me a happy birthday I had to do it myself. I enjoy knowing this day is all about me (if Ryan lets me). Tonight Bill and I are going to dinner and Ryan is going to the babysitter's. I doubt we stay out very long, but it is still nice to enjoy a dinner without the screaming. It doesn't matter when dinner is, Ryan just seems to know when we sit down to eat that it is time to commence the crying.

Yesterday was Ryan's 4 month doctor visit, complete with a round of 4 shots. He has done surprisingly well with them this time. Not too cranky, but still I am not taking too many chances and he is getting his doses of motrin and tylenol. He now weighs a whopping 16.6 lbs and is 26 inches long. He's HUGE!
