Will's Baptism

On Sunday, August 18th William Michael was baptized. His Godparents are Uncle Jon and Aunt Sarah Zatechka and Uncle David Heller. After baptism we had lunch at Grandpa and Grandma Heller's house. We had a great time seeing our friends and family on Will's big day.

The picture of Will "holding" his bottle is when mommy went back to work (for one day) and I left him with Grandpa Mike. It was too cute : )

Grandpa Timmy's 55th Birthday

Over the weekend our family went to Columbus for Grandpa Timmy's birthday. Will was able to "play" with his cousins and meet his great grandparents. Here is Elijah (4 mo) and Will after church and a 4 Gutz generation photo. Will's 2 week doc appt is Friday and we will update the blog with his new measurements!

1 Week Old

Will is one week old already : ) This past Sunday his pediatrician took him off his phototherapy light treatment and his bilirubin level is at 10 now (for those of you that know what that means)

His first bath with Grandma Dixie was this week and as you can see from the pic he does NOT like getting cold!

We are planning our first road trip this weekend to Columbus for Grandpa Timmy's birthday!!!

More newborn pics : )

Welcome William Michael Gutz

On Tuesday, July 22nd at 10:55 am, William Michael Gutz was born!! He weighed 6 lb 14 oz and was 20 in long. Mama and Baby Will are doing well and have appreciated all of the visitors : ) Monday night Stacy's water broke and we anxiously left for the hospital. After a few hours on Pitocin I was dilated and ready for Will to come!!

His pediatrician diagnosed him with jaundice and has used a phototherapy light to help his liver. He looks like a "glow worm." Today Dr. Dek called and said his level of jaundice decreased and we hope to take off him off the light treatment soon.

37 week doc appt : )

At my appt. today, Dr. Scott told me that I am 1 cm dilated!!! 9 more to go : ) We have 19 days left until the due date. But I wouldn't object to Baby G arriving earlier! Have a good weekend everyone : )

Stacy's New Mode of Transportation : )

For those of you who have been blessed by my "pleasant" presence over the past few weeks, you can report that I LOVE being pregnant right now!!! Due to lower back, hip, and tail bone pain I have received a stylish walker from the Klutman family. **NO, I don't really use it. This picture was taken after dinner with the Ringenbergs last weekend. Although I do admit the walker is more comfortable than walking without one : (

My 37 week appt. is Thursday and hopefully I will start dilating!! Next week I will have an ultrasound to check the size of Baby G. As always I will keep you updated : )

This pic is from the 4th of July at Tim and Dixie's. Sam's wearing his favorite shirt!
