Ryan is here!!

Ryan Thomas Messmer decided he was ready to meet his family!! He came four weeks early. On April 2, 2010 at 7:45am my water broke. Scott, the boys and I were all at home. It was Good Friday. The boys and Scott had plans to go to the Houston Open and watch golf while I went to stock up on things for our house. Well, our plans changed that morning. My docotor's office was closed (Good Friday) so I was told I would have to go straight to the hospital to confirm my water broke. Thank goodness we have amazing friends. I called our friend Stephanie at the last minute and asked her if she could take care of Matthew and Logan because we were sure we were going to have a baby. We dropped the boys off and went to the hospital. We arrived to the hospital and checked in and it was confirmed we were having a baby.
I was hooked up to the heart monitor and my IV was started and we waited. I had the best experience. Ryan was moving and things were moving on track. Ryan came at 6:20pm. I was so happy because I was worried about Matthew and Logan having to spend the night away from us for the first time. Once again we have amazing friends. Kelly and Greg had the boys for the evenning and Greg was able to bring the boys up to the hospital to meet Ryan. What an amazing day for us.

We would like to thank everyone that has helped us with meals. Thank you Christy, Emilie, and Janet for helping with the boys after school and taking Matthew to gymnastics. We have felt so loved and blessed. Friends like all of you are hard to find and I have to say we are sooooo lucky. You are all like an extended family to us. Thank you for all your support and help.

We are going on two weeks now and we are all adjusting well to Ryan in the house. Having three boys keeps us busy but it's worth it. Having three does not slow down. Ryan has been to Target, the park, and gymnastics. We stay so busy that Ryan will have to learn what it means to "get up and go!!"

Thank you everyone for your prayers and support. We love you all!!
