Fed Up!

I am hardly ever in any pictures. I scrapbook and there are lots of pictures of Daddy but what about me? I want the boys to look at their books when they are older and have pics of me to look at too. Ryan took this one for me this morning.

Anonymous said...: I SO relate to this post! Bobby (my hubs) works a full time job & part time job (enabling be to be a stay-at-home-mom) & I'm the only one here w/the boys most of the time so I'm the one that's the photographer. But, a few months ago, I bought a tripod when it was on sale @ Radio Shack & use it sometimes now :) Maybe that's an option for you :) That's a great pic of you & Evan :); June 10, 2008 at 11:58 AM

About the boys

As of 3/31/08

Ryan is 4 1/2 years old. He is in preschool and loves every minute of it. He loves to color and he loves Larry Boy, the superhero from Veggie Tales.

Jack is almost 3 and he is the aggressive one. He likes to pick on his older brother. Even though he picks on Ryan, he likes to do whatever his big brother does.

Evan is 4 months old but is the size of an average newborn. He was born 9 weeks early. He was only 1 lb 15 ounces and 12 1/2 inches long at birth.

All of the boys have had their medical issues.

Ryan was diagnosed at birth with hydrocephalus. He was shunted at 3 days old. That shunt failed at about a year old. That is when the docs performed a third ventriculostomy. That failed one month later and was redone. His last surgery was January 2009 when he was 5. He has MRI's annually to make sure the hydrocephalus is under control.

Jack was diagnosed at 3 months old with hydrocephalus. He was shunted immediately but that shunt failed at 7 months old. They performed a third ventriculostomy and he has not had another surgery since. He has MRI's once a year.

Evan was born Intrauterine Growth Restricted(IUGR). He was born at 31 weeks 3 days gestational age. He was only 1 lb 15 ounces and he spent almost 2 months in the NICU.
