First doctor appointment for Will.
Will is one week old today. We took him in for his first check-up. He now weighs 9 lbs. 0.5 oz. (so 1 1/2 oz. over his birthweight). He measured 21 in. long, but I’m sure that is just a difference in measuring styles, as he was 21 1/2 in. at birth. Everything else looks [...]
Baby news.
Sorry it has taken me so long to update. Today has been a hectic day. We took Will outside on the porch this morning for some “sunbathing” before we headed to the clinic for the bilirubin test. We didn’t get a phone call until later that his level is now 14, so he is improving. [...]
Update on me (Miriam).
Well, I was disappointed today that I seemed to have a worse day than yesterday. It wasn’t a terrible day, it was just that my nervousness was around most of the day. I think hopefully I am hitting some sort of hump that I need to get over and thankfully the medicine is keeping it [...]
Update on Will
The pediatrician at Willow Creek had asked us to get Will’s weight and skin color checked today, so we took him by the clinic. He weighed 8 lbs. 12.5 oz. (2 1/2 oz. under birth weight), which is normal for 4 days old. Dr. Youmans said he was a little yellow so while we were [...]

This afternoon, John and I decided we will take Will out to my parent’s house as I am doing much better at the moment. So, if you had been planning on [...]
A good night, an OK morning.
Hello all, Thank you for all your prayers, I think I am feeling them. Yesterday my anxiety started to subside mid-afternoon and I had a good time visiting with Becky, Laura, and my sister Bekah. By evening it began to return, so I don’t know if the good part of the day was due to [...]
How you can help.
Hello again. John, Will, and I got home a little after 7:00 last night. Will has his nights and days completely confused, so I am running on very little sleep. Unfortunately, because the doctor couldn’t come until the evening to discharge us, I did not get my anti-depressants until this morning. I think I was [...]
Unending blessings!
I’m here still in the hospital having just nursed little Will and thought I’d update with more details for those of you who are curious.
The new guy
William Phillip Lein (Will) was born today at 12:33 pm, weighing 8 lb 15 oz, measuring 21.5″ long. Everybody is healthy and doing great. A couple photos attached – for more visit http://www.flickr.com/photos/22465159@N00/ We’ll update with more info soon.
38 week app.
I am now two weeks from my due date and could feasibly go into labor at any time. I had a regular check-up at the doctor today, and he says everything looks fine and it is basically just waiting for labor from this point on. I have been experiencing contractions off and on the last [...]
