Really stitches already?

Our poor little toota bug has had a ruff day today (July 29). He fell face first on the corner of my sister's big bird cage. That is a phone call I never want to receive again that your baby might need stitches. It really scares you right to death! Lucky my fantastic niece Brycie was there with him when it happened and jumped right into mother mode with no hesitation and took care of him. She is like his other mother and I am so grateful she was there with him. When I made it to the house and walked in the door I stayed calm but was panicking inside. I do not do well in any bad situation plus I have a queasy tummy. Poor Ryker has a wuss for a mommy!

On our way to the ER
Waiting with the numbing solution on his forehead to get stitches.
The nurse was so GREAT to Ryker
Holding him down was the worst part. Anyone who knows Ryker knows he DOES NOT like to be held down. It took my sister and this nurse to hold him down and they both said they were physically exhausted after it was done. I told them he was a strong little guy!
I was walking in and out of the room bawling my eyes out hearing my little one cry so I was no help at all. I think putting the incision drape over him helped so he did not see what was coming
Stitching him up
Proud new owner of 3 stitches at 2 days shy of 21 months old
Aunt Dora, Brycie and Briggs had to get Ryker a present for being so tuff and I think it was well deserved!
Now is home resting....

I know I am a mother to a BOY but I do not know if I can handle this.... I know this is only the first of all sorts of injuries but can I just PLEASE keep him in a bubble?

4 years old?

Dear Ryker, How in the world are you 4 years old? I remember your Daddy handing me this tiny precious lovie like it was yesterday. I don't care how old or big you get you will ALWAYS be my baby, my first born that taught me so much. I never knew true, pure, deep love until I had you! This has been a BIG year for you.... you are FINALLY "poop" potty trained. Oh my Ryker I cannot believe how INCREDIBLY hard you were to potty train. Although we still have some pee accidents all in all you do great, I think you are just to on the go to take the time out from playing. You started preschool and you love it! Your best friends are Cash and Beckham (Bear). Some mornings you do not want to go and whine that you want me to go with you but you always go and come back home with the biggest smile and tell me how much fun you had. You are learning so much and it amazes me, I will listen and watch you play or watch a tv cartoon and you can usually answer all the questions correctl...

Happy MOTHER'S Day!

I LOVE Mother's Day. I love being a Mommy.... Ryker is truly the BEST thing that has ever happened to me and I am so extremely blessed that he is my baby! I woke up to Ryker saying "Happy Mom" and Chris and Ryker making me breakfast. I got a hand made card from Chris and Ryker and it melted my heart and made me cry like a baby. Chris and I talked before Mother's day and I asked him not to get me any gifts which he was disappointed in but we are in the process for buying a toy hauler and I wanted to make sure that was cut and dried before spending any money. Chris wanted to get me and promised me a seat to go on the back of my four-wheeler.... he spoils me! I love my two lovies so very much! Thank you for making my day so incredibly SPECIAL! I cherish every moment I have with the two men in my life! I've been called a lot of things in my life, but my favorite of all is Mommy! As Dora and I went the cemetery yesterday to decorate Mom's and Grandma'...

My poor baby boy

Ryker had a few bumps on his back that I noticed on Sunday. I figured it was his sensitive skin from us out camping and from me not putting an lotion on him. I hate to put lotion on him when we are camping because I feel like all the dust sticks to him and makes him even more dirty. Anyways on Monday he was so whiny and running a fever so we packed up and came home. Ryker struggled with the fever all night M onday and even actually slept with Chris and I which has never happened. I figured the fever was from two more of his teeth coming through. Anyway Tuesday when he woke up Ryker was normal again happy as can be so we went about our day. Well Wednesday I needed to go to work so I packed Ryker up to take him to Grandma Irene and I was telling her about these bumps on his legs that you could feel but barley see and she said her other granddaughter gets bumps all the time and it's no big deal. She agreed it was probable from camping and his sensitive skin. When Chris brought ...
