A week at home with Baby Sydney

She's arrived! Sydney Grace announced her presence to the world on Saturday, December 20th, at 4:04 pm. She weighed in at 6 lbs 12 ozs, and measured 21 inches long. After an emergency c-section (Sydney was trying to be born "sunny-side up") we got to bring her home on Christmas Eve. What an awesome Christmas gift!

Mom and Dad, well, we are faring better than anticipated. We are thankful for family and friends and all of their support (and expertise as we experience on the job training!). Things we have discovered this week? Swaddling baby requires a combination of Jedi mind-tricks and duct tape. Hats don't stay on baby's head no matter how much glue is used. "Squirt" is an appropriate nickname at least 6-8 times per day, one of the reasons being how little and cute baby is...

We are so blessed with our baby Sydney, and look forward to introducing her to all of the wonderful people in our lives who will impact our little girl as she grows!

Welcome to Our Little World!

With only 5 weeks left before the due arrival of Baby Wang, we are now in the home-stretch of expectancy. The littlest Wang is eager to greet this world and meet all of the wonderful people in our lives. We will find out if this baby is a boy or girl the day he or she arrives, which means, according to Heidi's brother Jed, that he will have to wait to find out if he is going to be an Auntie or an Uncle. You can even get in on the fun with our very own pool site and place your wagers... http://www.expectnet.com/games/NameThatWang (yes, there is a prize for the one who gets the most right, so it's worth your time to post a guess!)

We are blessed by you - our family and friends near and far who have been so generous with your support and encouragement. As we begin this chapter in our adventure, we anticipate sharing many incredible moments with you. Check back often!
