July 2010 - found out we were having a girl. Decided on the name. Riley Rebecca. We named her after my great great grandmother whose name was Roxanna Riley and after Bryce's big sister who died of sids in 1972 (or around there) who was named after his great great grandmother Rebecca.
August 2010 - went to Myrtle Beach, SC to visit all my family. They threw me an amazing baby shower and celebrated my grandparent's 60th wedding anniversary. What an amazing thing it must be to have been married to someone for 60 years...and even better that they are still in love with each other, through it all.
Went to visit friends in Santa Fe and Albuquerque and on the way home found out that Bryce's dad had a stroke. Begin "worry time" for Bryce.
AND, found out I was gestational diabetic and started my new diet and checking my sugar 4 times a day.
Sept 2010 - my wonderful personal trainer Keren and other friends threw me a Colorado Baby shower! IT was so fun!!
Moved Bryce's dad up to Colorado to do his rehab in-patient at Memorial Hospital. We would spend the next 2 months willing him into shape. And he had some amazing therapists and nurses up there!
October 2010 - Moved Bryce's dad into our home for outpatient Rehab. It was a very stressful time for us. I was VERY pregnant and couldn't help with his dad much at all besides making food for him and making sure he took his meds! His favorite breakfast - a protein/ensure/fruit shake made in my magic bullet! Just blend an Ensure shake and your favorite fruits and ice (or frozen fruit) and "walaa".
Nov 8-12 - Baby time! I will create another post with the birth story, etc, when I have some time.
Riley Rebecca Webster born 11/10/10 at 12:57am - 8lb 4oz and 20 3/4 inches long
We had a really hard first 2 weeks of her life. I will save that for another time.
Thanksgiving - had an amazing time with my Mom, maternal grandparents, Aunt Wanda, my brother and his entire family. They all flew/drove in for the holiday weekend and we just had a blast together.
Dec 2010 - Tried to get some sleep. Had a good first Christmas with friends. Decided to move my Dad from Alabama to Colorado so that he could be near us and meet his baby granddaughter. Set up the trip for Dec 30th, but due to some complications with his oxygen, he couldn't fly in until January 1st.
I will write more later....
