We have officially set a date and little William Baker Weatherford III will be delivered on Friday, February 11th. We are so excited!! Time will tell how long little one will have to stay here at Piedmont, but we are just praying that he goes straight to the regular nursery and can come home with us. Maybe if I keep telling him that, he will understand his mission once he arrives. I know that if he does have to stay in the NICU, he will be in wonderful hands. Bill and I are ready to meet our little baby! We will have one last ultrasound on thursday and will check his bloodflow and weigh him. His fluid level is at 5, so they are ready to get this baby out and let him stretch.
My friends gave me the most wonderful shower on Saturday. My twin, Alli, came all the way down from Wilmington for the shower and we had so much fun. The girls decorated a hospital bed with blue streamers and a big blue bow-it was adorable. I will post pics as soon as I can. Baker received so many fantastic presents and are so lucky to have such wonderful friends. The cake was so yummy and it was nice to get out of my room for a while. Thank you to all who came, it was such a special day!
Helen came by yesterday and we had the nicest visit! The Kenwright twins are in college and I love catching up with how they are doing. She brought Krispe Kreme doughnuts and they were shaped as hearts..which reminds me....My birthday is on Monday and I love Valentine's day! This will be the first Valentine week that we have not spent with my ECU besties in about 5 years, next year guys. :-) Jim and Jenny Freeman came by to visit and brought Baker some wonderful gifts! They are the sweetest and I can't wait to get back on the court with them at The Fields Club. My good friend Marlene stopped by today and brought me Henri's...awesome! Love seeing her and it was such a great visit.
These days are starting to fly by. I had a wonderful weekend with my mom and my twin and can't thank them enough for all of their help. We are starting to "move out" of #288 and you would not believe how much stuff I have here. Whoa! It's funny that I will be in another room after delivery...but at least I will have a different view from my window. haha. Loved that Allison came down to see me, she always makes everything better. The funniest thing happened. Allison forgot her phone in the car so she went downstairs to her car to get it. Well the shower was a cute pajama party so she was wearing my pajama pants. When she was walking back to my room, she walked by the nurse's station and they acted as if they had seen a ghost. Allison saw this and she said, "Do you think that I am Andrea" and sure enough, everyone thought that I had just gotten up and decided to walk around. How funny?!!! She is 23 weeks pregnant and due in May along with my sister Tracee. I can't wait to get all of these babies together. Thanks ALLI, you are the BEST! My mom has been a constant angel and has washed all of little one's clothes. We are almost ready for him!
We have felt the love this entire 8 weeks that we have been here and can't believe that this part of our journey is coming to a close..but we are thrilled for the next step of our life with Baker. God has been so good to us and we feel truly blessed. It is because of our friends and family that we have gotten through this. We can't wait for him to meet everyone!
Only a few more days...Keep Baking Baker!!! We can't wait!!
