I'm Growing

Some more pictures from the past few days. Already I am changing and getting to be a big boy. I use my fists to calm myself when Mommy is too slow to feed me. I have also taken to sleeping with my arms over my head instead of folded across my chest. I still enjoy my alert time in the evenings with my family.

My First Five Days

Here are a few more photos of James over the past five days. Big night for Mom & Dad as James prepares for his first bath at home and a trip to the pediatrician tomorrow morning.

James!

We look to be heading from the hospital with James tomorrow! Here are a few pictures of our little guy. Thanks for all of your emails, voice mails and texts. We look forward to catching up with you soon.

Tuesdays With Dr. Woodruff

Never mind Tuesdays With Maury, the Weiland's are becoming accustomed to eventful Tuesday afternoons with Dr. Woodruff (my OBGYN). Yesterday we were once again sent over to the hospital for additional tests. My blood pressure took a big jump in the past week after holding steady (and low) throughout the past 38 weeks. All tests came back negative and my pressure steadily went down as I laid in the hospital bed immobile with the fetal monitor attached. HBW slept for the first half of the monitoring and then did his/her thing for the second half. Ryan & I are now familar reading the progress of the graphs and printouts while we listen to our little one's heartbeat.

A reality check when the Dr. told us that we would not be leaving the hospital yesterday if my tests showed anything funny and/or my pressure didn't come down. Any trip to the Dr. from here on out will include our hospital bags and leaving Leo prepped for a day by himself. We are still hopeful that nature can run its course and that HBW will be able to make the decision on when to arrive.
