Emma is HOME!!!!

Mom's recovery is going so good that her and Emma got to leave the hospital today (everyone said that mom was a good healer!) Although the hospital stay was great and all the nurses were wonderful - it was time for us to leave the safety and security of the hospital to go home and do this on our own! Of course it snowed all night and the roads were iced up this morning, so mom and dad were a bit nervous about driving their new baby home ...

After reading the car seat manual 50 times just to make sure, we got Emma bundled in and ready to go. She left the hospital wearing the the same outfit Daddy's grandma made for him to leave the hospital in over 38 years ago!!!

Dad expected to be a white knuckle driver all the way home, but by early afternoon when they finally were released from the hospital all the snow had gone.

The whole family is happy to be safe and relaxing at home!

Baby Emma Photos

Daddy is suppose to be home resting, but could not wait to show off baby Emma to friends and family. Dad has been taking a ton of photos and it has been so hard to decide which pictures to put up! Here are just a few....

Welcome Emma Vivian Weaver

Toni and Warren have a beautiful baby girl!

Baby Emma Vivian was born at 8:20am on Friday January 25th at Good Samaritan Hospital downtown Portland.

Emma weighed in at a healthy 7 pounds 7 ounces and is 20 inches long. She is a beautiful little blonde!
Mom and Dad could not be more proud!

Toni and baby are doing really well and hope to be home soon!

Toni Week 37

Only 3 Weeks Away!!!

It is hard to believe that Baby Weaver is only three weeks away!
We are getting very excited as the days are growing closer, but also a bit overwhelmed by all that still needs to be done!

Yesterday we got another ultrasound:

Why did we get another ultrasound, you ask? We had our normal weekly appointment yesterday and they were still concerned about my blood pressure so decided to run some extra tests to make sure the baby wasn't being affected in some way. The first test - a biophysical ultrasound - was a 30-minute ultrasound where the tech watched for 3 things: baby's movements, baby's breathing and amniotic fluid levels. We're waiting to hear back from our doctor this morning on those results. The next test was called an "FHR" (or something close to that) and they hooked me up to the fetal monitor where they watched my contractions (normal Braxton Hicks, don't worry!) and the baby's heartbeat to make sure the baby's heart rate wasn't going down during contractions - indicating "trauma", which could have resulted in an early birthday - we passed this test with flying colors and the nurse commented multiple times on the "happy and healthy baby in there". They also drew more blood and were thrilled with those results as well. So all in all, everything was good, but Mama (that's me) is committed to really, really taking it easy now as we want this little one to stay in there as long as it can and not come out early because big, bad Mom couldn't sit still!
