A New Kind of Doctor's Report

Gus and I took Will to his first pediatrician appointment today. No jaundice, very little loss of birth weight. Dr. Barfield said Will looked great. We're very pleased, obviously.

At this point, we know that he's going to be a good eater. But, considering his parents love for food, that's not a big shock. We're working to get him on a better sleeping schedule...sleeping at night instead of all day long.

Its just about time for Will to eat, so that will be all for now. Thanks for all your well wishes! We'll post new pictures soon.

He's Here!

Sorry for the delay in posts, but having a baby keeps you busy. I'm going to have Gus post some pictures of our beautiful baby in a separate post. But, I wanted everyone to know that all is well, and we're both feeling good.

Will was born at 6:04 PM, weighing in at 7lbs 15 oz, measuring 21.5 inches, with a full head of dark hair. We're working eating, but right now he is much more interested in cuddling and sleeping.

There are no words to describe how good Gus is with him. He was made to be a dad, but, of course I already knew that.

Will is gorgeous, and we're enjoying him so much already. We feel so blessed.

Quick update

Em is on the epideral now and the doctors are guestimating Will should
arrive 7ish tonight. Time to get some rest...

We are a go.....

So we checked in as scheduled at 9pm to Northside Hospital. Funny
enough it appears Em's water broke on it's own an hour earlier. We
are a punctual family ; )

Plan right now is for Em to get some sleep and see if nature kicks in
overnight. Otherwise they will induce starting at 6am.

Signing out for now...

Waiting, Waiting

We're still waiting. Its amazing all the things you wait for. Now that we know Will's arrival timeline...at least to a certain degree, we're waiting for Northside to call and let us know when we can check in and get that timeline started.

I've been at home all week, thanks to my boss. Gus is off today, so we're just waiting...waiting. Trying to rest. We've played Rock Band. Gus has worked out and put together the little swing we got. We're trying to decide what to have for lunch, since I can't eat again after 4 pm. We know home is more comfortable, but the waiting is getting old!

We're excited to know that before the weekend is over, we'll be meeting our little man. Gus will be posting from here on out, as we know more.

Thanks for all your well wishes and prayers!
