Hello everyone,
It's been a while since I have updated my blog and kept you guys updated on what is going on with me and my family. So alot has changed and it's all pretty good. I went to emt school, passed and now I am a certified pre hospital health providor. Sounds kinda scary I know I was shocked to when I got the package in the mail. I work for Cetronia Ambulance Company with is the second biggest ambulance company in the Lehigh Valley. I work alot but it all pays off in the end!
Lily is doing great she started to cawl about a month ago. Well the little one decided to wake up I will be back to finish up.nok I am back Lily has not been on a very good bed time schedual as of late I think it could be her teeth and they only decide to come in at night. lily doesn't require any physical thereopy but she still does require occupational theropy and she gets that now 2 times a month.
We still here at the in-laws house and are hoping to be outta here by next summer at the latest hopefully!

Blog to my daughter Lily.

Well Lily you are going on 3 months soon, I can't believe it has been 3 months time fly's by but yet these past 3 months seems like everything is in slow motion. The last 3 months have been a challenge but it has been a good one. I look forward to seeing you every day in which you brighten my day up.

As of October 30th you are now about 11 pounds or so into 3 months clothes. You definitely have the personality of your mother. You let us know now when you are hungry, diaper needs changed and sleepy in which some days you try and fight staying a wake during the day. You started to sleep through the nights about a week ago, in which I am happy about that. Just tonight you learned how to push the button on your Crib aquarium to make the songs play.

I can't wait for you to grow up more and when you start to crawl and walk and talk. I can't wait until you don't have to be on the formula you are on now, which by the way smells like a cheese-it. However the formula is much better on your stomach and makes up a happy baby. I am so proud of you because you are learning alot and still giving us a run for our money.

I will start trying to post more on here for you and to keep everyone updated on our and your life.

Love you much
Daddy

Hey everyone.

Sorry its been a while since I have updated things, Been underground for a while.

There has been some good things happening around the nest latly starting that Lilly was born on August 5th at 4lbs 5 oz and 17 1/2 inches long. I will place some pictures up here of here. Life now with Lily has changed everything for the good. Having lily around makes me wanna get up everyday to be with her.

She has her own personality and does not stress enough to let everyone know about it and what she wants. But other then that everything else is going great.

I miss you guys!!!!!

For those who do not know of Becky and I's history I will give you a quick breifing in a nut shell at the end of this.

Dylan it has been 2 years 1 week and 4 days since you have gone to the baby gym up there in the big sky. You have tought us how to love one another and be there for each other when we need each other in life. I wish you were here because we have always dreamed about you. You would be well into walking and talking our ears off, getting into trouble and giving us our run for our money. I think by now I would have taking you down to my fire house at least 1000 times by now. We miss you more then anything, I wish we coulda had an option in order to keep you alive but unfourtionitly we did not and for that is the reason you are now looking down on us.
I wish I could have felt the bond that your mommy had with you. There is not a day that I dont think about you and miss you. I wish I did not have to visit you and your brother at the cemetary because it kills me and takes more of a peice of my soul and heart by you not being here. There is only 3 things that I ask of you that are the most importent things to me and they are Look after us down here Look after your brother and Look after and protect your baby sister Lilly Rylan.

I love you Dylan with all my heart and will see you in due time.

Riley

What can I say about you, the last time I saw you was from an ultra sound in witch you waved to us. At that momment it made me happy and we thought that you were going to be the one that will help complete our family. But it was that sad day when you were born too early in life, to early of an age to come into this world. Again it felt like our hearts were ripped right out from our chests.

It has been nearly 1 1/2 years since you have passed and joined your brother up in the big gym in the sky and for that we miss you just as much. I hope you are getting along with your brother and watching over us. I miss you every day that goes by in which you are not here to wake us up in the mourning. Everyday that goes by in which you are not walking around raising hell and getting into stuff. Everyday I miss you more. As I told your brother the three things I want you to do the same.

I love you with all my heart Riley James and will see you in due time.

If this sounds like I am crazy for writing this I am not because wether you belive it or not the people that are not around are looking down on you. When you exprience a lose like this our from another loved one you will do anything to tell them you love them and think about them more and more everyday.

With that here is our quick update on the days that had changed our lives forever.

When Becky and I moved home from Florida to move back to PA we were pregnat with our first baby Dylan Michael and then what seemed to be the worst day in history of our lives on May 8th 2006 at 17 weeks we had lost our boy. After Dylan we waited a little while about 5 months and we had gotten pregnate again with our baby Riley James, we had talk to our doctor and he sugested on Becky having a procedure done that will help keep the baby in there. We went along with it and got the procedure with only held for 9 days and with that result we had lost Riley on December 26th at 16 weeks.

With all that said we are moving along and have come along way with what had happened in the past and are now the most pregnate we have ever been at 21 weeks and counting down to October 2, 2008.

It's a GIRL!!!!!!

OMG I mean I knew we were pregnant but a girl wow thats a big eye opener. As I let all that information set in that I will have a daughter i have become more and more exited for many reasons. I am excited and scared all at the same time for many reasons because this is the farthest along in the pregnacey that we have ever been and the more it become real that our Lilly is coming.
The questions that run through my head everyday is, Will I be a good father? How do you raise a Daughter? and were can I find a cheap shot gun in time for when Lilly will go on her first date? I guess these are the questions that run through everyones mind.
I am really happy for Lilly witch by the way was the hardest name to think of because we basicly had to run it by our family members mainly my grandmother to see if it was ok, but then we thought about it and said we are happy with the name and our family members did not ask us about our names prior to our births.

So there for Lillian (Lilly) Rylan Gibson will be our babys name. We chose Rylan for a middle name because it is Dylan and Rileys name combined a good way to honor our two little boys.

So I will leave it off on that and will open this blog to any fathers of daughters to help give me some answers on how to raise a girl.

Take care everyone.
