We are just about ready for Baby Jack! Daddy took Grace to her favorite place today, the Maine Wildlife Animal Park, so I could complete the last few things on my "To Do" list. Several weeks ago I was diagnosed with polyhydramnios or a high level of amniotic fluid. Fortunately, Baby Jack is very health and growing quickly! The polyhydramnios, combined with Jack's size (he weighed over 6 pounds two weeks ago and is likely over 7 pounds by now), has me measuring at 40 weeks or at full term already. This means that Jack could possibly arrive any time now. I have been having weekly ultrasounds for the past several weeks to monitor the fluid levels. My next ultrasound is this coming Wednesday. I hope to share more 4D ultrasound pictures of Jack with everyone this week (he turned his face away at the last moment during my previous ultrasound). As of now, Jack's arrival continues to be scheduled for December 15. We are really hoping that Jack decides to wait until then or at least until 36 weeks so he can be born at Mercy Hospital, which is the same hospital where Grace was born.

We couldn't possibly be MORE excited! To be able to share in the love and joy that two incredible grandchildren will bring us is beyond anything that we could have ever expected. Grace has added so much to our lives and to think that soon we will have Baby Jack, also! What a gift of perfect love.

Poppy calls Baby Jack, "Jack Leger---Boy of Adventure". And, we think that the crib is so cozy and sweet for a new baby boy!
Love, Maddy and Poppy
