Merry Christmas!! We had a wonderful Christmas 2009. Can't believe it's over. After all the hard work to prepare and it's over in a flash. Matthew and Logan had so much fun this year. We had an elf on the shelf that was so much fun. (Thank you Grandma Carol). Santa was a big hit at our house. Matthew and Logan helped put food outside for the reindeer and helped make yummy cookies for Santa. Good Times!!
The boys and I went to our 23 week appointment for Ryan. Things are going smooth and his heart beat sounded great. No pictures this time. We go back in four weeks and I will have an ultrasound and my glucose test.
Tomorrow is New Years Eve and we are going to a family party that should be lots of fun for all of us. We have a New Years Day party where our friends will be serving black eye peas and bloody marys for those that may need a little help to get moving.
Hope you all have a safe and Happy New Year. See you all in 2010!!

Anatomy of baby Ryan
We are now 19 weeks pregos. One more week and we will be half way through this pregnancy. Can't believe how fast time is going. With a four and two year old time goes even faster. No time to relax. This has been a good pregnancy except for my "mood swings." I'm sure Scott is not happy about that. Ryan and I had a doctor's appointment to go over his anatomy. His heart, brain, lungs and all his body parts seem to be growing and developing on target. The only concern is that he has some blockage in both kidney's. This same thing happened with Logan. The doctor said we will continue to monitor it. The positive thing about this is that I will have more ultrasounds and will be able to see Ryan!!
During the ultrasound today Ryan was curled up in a ball. He didn't want to move. He must know that it's cold today. Finally he moved around and we were able to see all his body parts. If you notice in one of the pictures he has knees almost touching his nose. How cute is that.
Things are going really well and we are all getting ready for Christmas. We have our stocking up for Ryan and he has his first Christmas gift. It's a monogrammed baby blanket "Ryan Thomas Messmer."
We hope that you will all take time out of your busy schedules and enjoy the holidays. I know we are excited this season and can't wait for Ryan to be on the outside for Christmas next year.
God Bless and we will update this blog in four weeks.
Love you all!!

17 week doctors visit
Today the whole family went with me to my doctor's visit. We thought we were going to have an anatomy scan but during the appointment setup there was lack of communication. Anyway we went ahead with an appointment and our doctor did an ultrasound. We were right all along. We are having a BOY!! We are very excited that Ryan Thomas Messmer will be part of our growing family.
Now that friends know we are having a boy the next question is always: "Are you going to try a fourth time for the girl." The answer is no. It's nice to know that our plan is to start our adventure as parents of three Messmer boys. Matthew is very excited about having a baby brother again. He is always talking about Ryan and can't wait for him to come in April. He draws pictures of "mommy and Ryan in her tummy." Very sweet. The other day we took care of my friends 8 month old little boy and Matthew was such a great helper. He was sooooo funny. He wanted to do everything for Aidan. He kept him laughing, gave him his bottle and even fed him fruit. I think Matthew is going to be a great big brother. While keeping Aidan entertained little Logan would follow Matthew and do everything he did to make Aidan laugh. Aidan had lots of attention that day.
I don't think Logan understands that he is going to have a baby brother. I think he will be a little jealous but with big brother Matthew by his side I think the transition will be just fine.
Our next appointment is December 1st. I'm going for the anatomy scan. Say a little prayer that Ryan looks good and is growing like he should.

12 week doctors appointment
Baby Messmer is growing at lightning speed. The heartbeat is 162 today and the baby was moving all over the place. The doctor and I think it might be another active Messmer boy. It's not 100% but we think we might have seen something that looks like a little baby boy!! Boy or girl we are very excited about our addition to our family. It's a wonderful time in our lives.
