Quiet 4th of July

Hey everyone!

If you don't count all of the booms we could hear outside, we had a rather quiet weekend at the hospital. Tina is still doing great and the boys are moving around like crazy. (Well Kevin is, Ethan is a little bit suck since he lost most of his fluid but he's still alight). I think this week we will be getting updated ultrasounds done to check the fluid that's left around Ethan. Surprisingly, the doctors told us that typically the baby without the fluid develops a bit quicker. It's their body telling them they need to speed up the development process. It's an amazing thing.

We had a lot of visitors over the weekend. Our good friend Katie Henderson (formally Moran!) surprised Tina by flying in from St. Louis on Thursday to come see her. I picked her up from the airport and we were taking bets on whether Tina would cry or go into labor when she saw her. Thankfully, it was the former. Kelsey stopped in on Thursday, fresh from her visit to Pau, France, and it was great to catch up on her adventures. On Sunday, Mike and Shelley Buch stopped in, which was a bit easier now that they live in Dayton instead of Bradenton, FL! Lastly, on Sunday my mom, Chuck, and Kristen all came to see us which was great.

We are still planning on the big move out east taking place on July 12th. Hopefully, I'll still be aloud to work from home at least until then. I worry that I'll have to head back to New Hampshire eventually for work, and God willing, Tina and the boys will still be at Riverside. I guess that's one of those problems you hope for since that would mean the boys have stayed in at least until 30 weeks (29 weeks is this Thursday).

Please keep the prayers coming, they've been working so far. It's unbelievable how blessed we've been. If you would have asked me on June 26th, I would have bet the farm that those babies would have been her by now. Each day is a little miracle, and each day they are growing and developing.

Love you all,

Ryan (Tina, Kevin, and Ethan)
