Spring 2012

The Rueckert/Downey house hold is preparing for the new baby.  I'm currently 33 weeks - something I never saw last time.  There were some red flags that are making the doctors cautious.  I'm on "limited activity."  What does that mean?  I'm to try to sit as much as possible.  Limit walking, stairs, lifting and activity of that sort.  I can still work; my job can be 99% sitting.  This will allow me to keep my leave for when the baby is actually here.  Today they checked on the baby.  Everything looks good and he is estimated at 4 lbs 10 oz, big but not huge.   Jeff's mom, Amy, has been helping A LOT with all of the things that I can't do.  Thanks Amy!

Devin had his tonsils out in early May.  There was a couple of hard days as he recovered but over all it was a good decision.  Devin is breathing better and we are slowly dialing back on the inhalers.  He sleeps through the night without waking up with a coughing fit and can finally sleep on his back.  He used to have to sleep on his tummy to be able to breath.  

Some random pictures from the last couple of months:

Grandma Pat, Mom and Devin.  I'm 29 weeks pregnant.  I could still lift Dev at that point.  

Jeff and Devin cleaning their golf clubs.  Devin is still obsessed with golf.  He loved the dunking of the club in the water and wiping off the dirt.  Currently we are having fun watching the US Open.  His favorite golfer is Ricky.  I think it is the colorful outfits.
