He's Comfy, I Guess

It appears that Will is good and comfortable where he is, though I'm not sure how given his size. Today was our 38 week checkup, and thankfully, Will is good and healthy. They've decided to stop estimating his weight because its getting too hard to tell for sure. We'll have another check up Thursday and then again on Tuesday. If we make it to Tuesday, our doctor will schedule an induction before Will is too big.

Keep checking the blog for updates. Gus will also post from the hospital once we finally make it there.

37 and counting...

Another good check up today. Will's got a great, healthy heart beat. It doesn't appear that either of us gained weight last week. Everything looked about the same as it did last week. Our doctor had us schedule 2 more weekly appointments, but she assured us we would not make it to our due date because "then we run the risk of the passenger being too big for the passageway."

I've had quite a few contractions today, but they aren't coming at regular intervals. We'll keep you posted.

Explaining the Test...

Gus got a new iphone this week, and he has figured out how to post to the blog from it. That way, Gus can post photos and updates to the blog from anywhere, without a computer. He'll keep you all updated from the hospital as best at possible.

We'll see our doctor in the morning. We'll update everyone on what she says tomorrow.

Test #2

This is only a test

36.5 weeks pregnant and 4 years married

Today is our 4th wedding anniversary. We took the day off to celebrate and be together. We slept in, saw a movie and enjoyed our traditional steak dinner at Morton's. Below is a picture of the baby belly at 36.5 weeks. We think he is lower. I definitely feel better today than I have in about 3 months, which has been nice. The other picture is of us at Morton's. We really enjoyed our day together.

Will's Domain

The room is finally done! Gus really did a fabulous job, and I'm so glad I have such a wonderful husband. Check out the pictures below.

36 weeks

People keep asking how long we have to go. I have no idea how I'm supposed to know, but it seems like forever or that it will be here in an instant. I alternate between them.

Anyway, the report from the doctor's office was good. Healthy, good heart rate. I have started to dilate slighty. And, another, "Wow, that's a big baby!" Gus asked if they could give us a better estimate than "big." Most babies at this point are supposed to be getting close to 6 lbs, and they estimate Will to be about 7 lbs.

We'll take your bets for arrival date and size...
