Update on Pregnancy

I have been on bedrest since last week when I started having pre-term labor symptoms. Besides feeling tired and having some painful contractions, I'm doing well. Riley has enjoyed all the company...grandma and grandpa Sproles were down to visit the Monday before last. Then, mamaw Harris has been down since last week. So, that part of it has been wonderful.
I head back to the dr on Monday. Hopefully little girl Sproles will keep hanging on for a little bit longer. We sure are looking forward to meeting her!

Children's Museum of Oak Ridge

We took Riley to the Children's Museum of Oak Ridge a couple of weekends ago. He has such a blast!!!

Bye-Bye!

When it's time for Riley to take a nap or go to bed at night, he LOVES to tell everyone bye-bye over and over again!!!

The Latest on Pregnancy

As many of you already know, I'm 33 weeks pregnant. I have started going to my OBGYN for weekly non-stress tests to make sure my Lovenox injections for blood clots are not stressing my little girl. When I went yesterday, I found out that I am 2-3 cm dialated. I have also been having some random contractions as well as some other symptoms for pre-term labor. So, the doctor ran a fetal fibronectin test on me to see what my chances are of pre-term labor. I will find out the results Wednesday when I go back to the doctor. For now, I am supposed to be on partial bed rest, which seems IMPOSSIBLE with a 2-year old running around! Please say a little prayer that this little girl will stay on the inside for a little longer! Thanks.

Two Year Checkup

Riley went to the doctor last week for his two-year checkup. Everything looked great. He weighed in at 30.5 lbs and was 36 inches tall!!!

Fun in the Sun

Riley loves his little swimming pool. Afterwards, he likes to snuggle up next to daddy.

Birthday Fun

We had a fun week in Kingsport. The highlight was celebrating Riley's 2nd birthday on Saturday at Eastman Cabins. His favorite part was getting in the creek. Needless to say it was very difficult coaxing him out.

Another highlight was that my cousin Rhonda, her husband Bill and their son Jacob came over for a visit from Asheville. Isn't he the cutest little baby???

Riley's obsession with straws

Time is flying by

Our little boy is growing up too fast. I can't believe he will be TWO YEARS OLD in 19 days. Where does the time go???

"I wear my sunglasses..."

These pictures just crack me up! Riley is just now getting to the point that he'll wear sunglasses although they don't usually stay on very long.

Fun at the Park

We are so glad that it's nice enough outside to take Riley to the park. He loves the freedom of running around.

Water Time

Riley LOVES his water table that we bought him. After playing with it for one hour, we had to drag him inside kicking and screaming. He was soaking wet where he had poured water all over himself.

Easter

We thought Riley would like the little plastic eggs that are so prevalent at Easter. When given the option of easter eggs or golf balls AND considering he IS a Sproles, which do you think he chose? Of course, pictures don't lie.

Baby Jacob Quade

I was so lucky to be able to visit my cousin, Rhonda, and her husband, Bill, in Asheville only a week and a half after the birth of their son, Jacob. I am very glad that everyone is doing well. Jacob is up to 5 lbs 6 ozs as of the latest count. He is such a cutie!!! Congrats Rhonda & Bill!

Finally...Ultrasound Pictures

OK...So it only took my two weeks to get these picts up on Blogger. Here is Baby Girl Sproles:

Just in case you need some hints, her head is on the left side in this picture and both eyes are looking right at you! Of course she is smiling!



In this picture, she is laying on her back, her head is on the right, and her right hand is waving!

Ultrasound...

Yes, I know that I told many people that I would have ultrasound pictures up by now, but it hasn't happened. Riley and I are in Kingsport this week and the pictures are at home. SOOOOO, I hope to post them next week. By the way, we are having a GIRL!
I am heading to Asheville tomorrow to visit my cousin and her almost 2 week old baby. I can't wait!!! Pictures will come!!!

Warmer Weather...Finally!!!

Riley absolutely LOVES being outside. Thank goodness warmer weather is finally arriving. Here are a few pictures that I recently took of him on our deck.

Visiting Family

We went to Kingsport a couple of weeks ago to visit family. Here are a few pictures from the trip.
