Visitors

Matthew's dad, step-mom, and step-sister Susan came into town today. They will be splitting their time between Austin and San Antonio so they can witness the NCAA Women's Basketball Championships (go UConn!).

Baby Doctor Visit

We had another doctor's appointment today. Renee is still 1 cm dilated. We have another week to go before the doctor wants to induce, and we all think that Renee will go into labor before we have to take that measure. However, we are making plans for the induction (meaning, we're making reservations at the hospital). We have an appointment at the hospital on April 7 to start the induction....

Baby Doctor Visit

Another doctor's appoinment today... So far there's no indications that the baby will arrive any time soon. However, Renee is 1 cm dialated.

We also learned that two other couples from our childbirth class had their babies.... Guess we're next in line!

Baby Doctor Visit

Renee had another doctor's appoinment today. No news to share from that (everything is normal), however she and her doctor decided that her maternity leave should start on March 20 (if the baby isn't here yet).

Happy Birthday!

Renee's 30 today!!

Car Seat Education

We visited a local store that was sponsoring car seat inspections. We learned a lot as the local sherrif's department made sure that we had our baby's car seat installed properly (from what we know, virutally all car seats are safe, but about 80% of all car seats aren't installed correctly, and that makes all the difference).

Baby Doctor Visit

Another doctor's appoinment; all looks well. Renee's blood pressure and the baby's heart rate were higher than they have been recently, but the doctor said they were both well with in the normal range.... and he also confirmed that the baby was head down and had lowered itself into the birth canal....

Pregnancy Update

Renee felt the baby "drop" into position.

The Babies Are Coming

We just learned that a couple from our childbirth class gave birth to a beautiful baby girl on February 26th (they were absent from class and we were all wondering why). Their baby was due on March 19th, just six days before our baby is due....

Matthew Knee Update

Matthew also visited the knee doctor and it looks like we will be putting off his knee surgery until after the baby arrives....

Baby Doctor Visit

We had a doctor's visit today. Everything looks great! The baby is still head down and the heart rate is around 150 bpm. We'll have another visit with him on the 8th.
