nothing but best wishes from me ... to Ryan, and most of all he baby (and hopeful future mav?)

HA! You think YOU didn't see it coming? I had 8 days notice! And this is a kid I saw about every other day. Don't get me wrong, I noticed that she was gaining weight, but she'd been trying to bulk up. One of the coaches gave her a pregnancy test at 7mos and it was negative, but at about 7.5mos she saw her belly move in the shower and knew then what it was (everything that she'd normally get on a monthly basis showed up on time every month!) but was terrified to say anything because of everything going on... plus she had some pretty severe depression issues clouding her mind from her teammates giving her a hard time, and she was just a mess. However, with the help of her doctor she is happy and healthy today and doing quite well.

Hayden is an incredible blessing and and though we never considered that we'd have a grandchild at this point, we are thrilled and thank God every day for blessing us with him. He brightens every day and I wouldn't change a single thing... and for the record... this kid is TALL!!! His hands are bigger than the 1 yr old and 15 month old sons of friends and his feet are HUGE.... he's wearing shoes for a 1yr old right now (and 9 month size clothes- he turned 4mos old yesterday) So he may very well be a future MAV and if so, SURELY it'd be sports....wow, this kid should be quite tall considering Ryan and his dad!Q

So, we wish the girls well and will continue to follow them and cheer them on!
