Back from the Dr

All is well, but the Dr is not moving from the scheduled delivery date of 12/31. We don't want deliver a baby with undeveloped lungs either, so we wait. If Amy goes into labor before then, the Dr is happy to deliver, but if not, we are waiting until at least 38 weeks before the Dr will even consider delivering the baby. We are at 35 weeks today, so we have about 3-5 weeks left before we'll be announcing the birth of our new baby!!

Update

Went for another ultrasound today. All is well. Baby is head down, and BIG. Based on measurements, the baby weighs 8 lbs. 2 oz. Mary weighed 8 lbs. 4 oz. and she was born 2 weeks late. Dr says that babies typically gain 1/2 lb a week during these last weeks.

We head back to our main Dr tomorrow to interpret the results of todays ultrasound and to determine if we will be moving the delivery date up from 12/31.

More to come when we have an update!

Christmas Card Time

As we get closer to the due date we are trying to get more tasks checked off the list. Today we worked on Christmas Cards. Look for yours in the mail soon!!

"I'm HUGE!"

For all those who have asked about the 'belly', here's a picture from today. Still feeling good, but moving slower each day.

Trip to the Doctor

Just returned from a routine visit to the Dr. for a checkup. All is well. Amy is measuring 36 weeks, even though we are only at 33 weeks! Our last ultrasound is scheduled for the 27th, so we'll provide more updates soon!!

Welcome!!

We decided it was appropriate to take advantage of technology for the upcoming birth. We'll be posting updates, pictures, etc over the coming weeks as we prepare for the birth of our new baby.

www.widenerbaby.com should forward to this new site ongoing. www.widenerfamily.com is where all the pictures of Mary are still available.

Wish us luck on this new adventure. We'll be "blogging" to you soon!!
