nothing new to report

We hope that everyone had a wonderful and Merry Christmas. We only went home for a couple of days, but it was so nice to see our families. We had a wonderful Christmas. It was a little scary how much stuff Will got this Christmas and he isn't even here yet. I know that his grandparents, aunts, and uncles are going to love spoiling him rotten.

We went to the doctor yesterday for our check-up. The doctor said that everything looked good, and we are right on schedule. He said that Will's head is in position for delivery; he thinks that I will have a smooth delivery. After our appointment, we took a tour of the hospital. I think that everyone knows that I will be delivering at Provience Northeast (where Jason works). So, Jason and I have been there before, but it was nice to have an official tour. We saw the rooms. The great thing about Providence is that I will be in one room the whole time that I am in the hospital. The nurse who gave us the tour told us which two rooms to request when we get there...they are the biggest rooms since we will have a big family there with us. She also showed us the nursery that we can send Will to if we choose; he can stay in the room with us if we want. We also saw the waiting room for our families to stay in while I deliver. It was nice, but I think they will be bored. There is no tv. It is a tiny hospital, so that was about everything there was to see. Jason, of course, knows and talks to everyone there, so I know they are going to take really good care of me. Now we just have to sit back and wait for the big day to come.

All is Well

Jason and I had our last doctor's appointment this past Tuesday. Everything is going well with both Will and me. The doctor did another ultrasound. It was great to be able to see Will again. He is growing big, but we got some exciting news. Will measured in the 48th percentile this go round. He is about 6 lbs. 4 oz. We were so happy to hear that his size is more on track and slowing down some. The even more exciting news for me was when the doctor said that Will's head was actually measuring a week behind schedule. I like the idea of delivering a baby with a (hopefully) smaller head. After the ultrasound the doctor examined me and said that I am 1 to 2 cm. dilated. He said not to worry; I could stay at this point for a month. So, we are hanging on for a few more days until our next update, but we are getting excited that the big day isn't too far away!!!!

Showered with Love

Wow! It is hard to believe that I am 35 weeks pregnant. The time has gone by so quickly. It seems like just yesterday we found out that we are going to have a baby. Words cannot express how much fun Jason and I have had over the past few months. We have loved hearing Will's heartbeat and seeing him through ultrasounds. Shopping, of course, has been great fun. There hasn't been a part of this pregnancy that I haven't enjoyed. I have truly been blessed to be so healthy and feel so good. We can't begin to thank all of our family and friends for all of their love and support throughout this time. We have definitely felt everyone's support; we knew that we were loved, but everyone has been so wonderful to us. We truly appreciate everything that everyone has done for us, and we love you all dearly!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

Latest Doctor's Appointment and More Pictures

We had our latest doctor's appointment yesterday afternoon. Everything was good with both Will and me. I told the doctor that I feel really good. I still haven't had any real problems. The only uncomfortable part I have had is bad indigestion, but no swelling and no major problems. I feel like I have been really lucky with my pregnancy. I think I have more energy and feel better pregnant than not.

The doctor did tell me that I am measuring 36 weeks (which is 2 weeks ahead of schedule). This was the first time that he actually measured my belly. Before now he measured Will's bones on the ultrasound to determine if he was measuring ahead of schedule. Although I was sad not to have another ultrasound, it was neat to be measured. I have another appointment in 2 weeks; after that I will be on my weekly appointments.
