Ultrasound

I had my 4D ultrasound today. It was really cool! He looks just like Britt did when he was a baby. We found out that he is measuring at 34 weeks....I'm only 30 weeks! We would have gotten way better pictures if I would have had this ultrasound a few weeks ago, because it does best when the baby is at 30 week size. Since he is so big, he is kinda squished in there now. The ultrasound tech said he already weighs about 5 lbs. I'm not sure what this means as far as when I will deliver. I go back on Thursday for my doctor's appointment, and I will talk to her then. The ultrasound tech said it's highly unlikely that I will be having a December baby. If we waited until December, he will about 10 lbs...yikes! I'll update you on Thursday.

29 Weeks...

Well, here's me at 29 weeks... December can't get here fast enough...

Nothing really exciting to report. I still have another week until my ultrasound. Oh, and on the same day I'm getting my ultrasound, I'm meeting with the potential pediatrician, Dr. Latiolais. A friend recommended him, he's open on weekends, and he's not as old as dirt like most of the other good pediatricians around here, so he seems like a good match for me!

Doctor's Appointment

Yesterday I had my doctor's appointment. I spent more time waiting to see the doctor than I actually spent with the doctor, which is something that really annoys me! She measures my belly, checks the heartbeat, and then she's outta there! I guess at least that means nothing is wrong, so I'm glad for that! They gave me a flu shot AND made me get my blood taken to test for anemia. They didn't warn me before hand that I was getting stuck two times in one day! I HATE needles! I guess I should be used to them by now, because this was like the 8th or 9th time since I've been pregnant that they've taken my blood, and I'm sure it won't be the last...My next appointment is on Sept. 28 for my ultrasound, and then my next appointment with the doctor is on October 1.

I got the cutest Stephen Joseph backpack at the craft show! I got it monogrammed, of course! Mom got him a bib and burp cloth, but I can't have it until my shower...and it's monogrammed, too!

I also ordered two really cute Christmas onesies the other day. I've been looking for Christmas clothes for him for a while now, and I finally found some 0-3 month onesies. Most of the Christmas stuff I've previously found online only comes in 6 months and up. Now I'm on the hunt for a stocking for him!

I think that was all I was going to say...I've been extremely forgetful lately! I can't believe in just 11 short weeks that we will get to meet Carson!

28 weeks

I'm now 28 weeks, so only 12 weeks to go! Unfortunately, I'm sick! I started feeling sick on Thursday, and it turned into full blown sickness by Friday. At least I go to the doctor on Tuesday. I hope it's just a cold and not the flu, but I've been feeling feverish, so....

Yesterday the stroller/carseat/base set came in! Yay! (Thanks mom!) She got it shipped to our house, and Britt had it put together before I got home from work. I LOVE IT! We also went to Target last night and bought a crib mattress. I just need to get some curtains now, but I didn't feel well enough to look while we were at Target last night. Now, I'll just be waiting for my shower in October to finish up everything. At least we have the big stuff...furniture, bedding, car seat, and stroller.

After MUCH debate we finally decided on a name last night......

Carson Michael

Narrowing it down....

So we've narrowed it down to two baby names....Hudson or Carson....now I just have to make up my mind! Britt's first choice is Hudson. I'm afraid of commitment, but hopefully I can make a decision soon...and stick with it! I feel like it shouldn't be taking me this long to choose a name!

So I decided to start a blog.....

Since the baby is coming soon, I thought a blog would be a good way to keep friends and family updated on everything...especially when it comes to pictures, which I'm sure will be abundant once our little boy gets here.

As for the pregnancy, I am now 27 weeks, which means we only have 13 weeks to go! My PUPPPS seems to be under control, and I pray everyday that it doesn't return. I passed the 3 hour glucose test last weekend to see if I had Gestational Diabetes, and amazingly that is one pregnancy ailment that I do not have. I'm starting to have what I think are Braxton Hicks contractions, and if they are any indicator of what the real thing will be like, I will be requesting an epidural as soon as I get to the hospital!

He still doesn't have a name, but we have four names sitting on the table. He will be Carson, Hudson, Landon, or Cole. All I know for certain is that his middle name will be Michael (after Britt). I hope to pick something by the end of the week, because my mom and I are going to the craft show on Sunday. I'm majorly into monogramming, and I'm dying to get stuff monogrammed.

I go to the doctor every two weeks now, and my next appointment is on September 15. Although we are really looking forward to our appointment on September 28 when we will get to see him via 4D ultrasound. We can't wait to see what he looks like! Our last ultrasound was at 22 weeks and looked like this....

Oh, and this is the bedding for those of you who haven't seen it....
