Here we are at 41 weeks, 7 days past our official due date. While the time has moved in slow motion as to some direction for when we will be meeting our little angel, I've felt really great. Working from home the last few weeks has really made a huge difference on my comfort and has made the last stretch much more enjoyable.
We had a Dr.'s appointment on Tuesday where we had a myriad of tests. First was a non stress test to make sure baby girl's heart rate and movement were all normal. It was a little longer than usual because we didn't pass right away. Second was an ultrasound to check fluid levels, which were all normal, as well as her size. To our shock they estimated her at 10.2lbs.... yikes!! And while it's an estimate that could mean she weighs MORE or less.......

41 Weeks
Baby Girl's little Fingers
After all of the tests and scans we met with my Dr and determined that because of how large our little lady is (pun intended) our best course of action was to schedule a c-section. After two days of our Dr working with the hospital schedule we are on the board for Tuesday 8/14/14!!! We are so very excited that we finally get to meet her and share her name with everyone. It's also a very special day for us personally as it connects us to a very dear angel, Hope Wilkens. Our girls will be forever connected and it's extremely meaningful to both their mommies.
With that said I'm closing the chapter to the Baby Walter portion of this blog. My next entry will be as the Walter Family and I couldn't be more excited.
