36 Week Dr.'s Appt.

I went to see Dr. Breniman again yesterday and looks as though everything is still the same. I was kind of hoping for a little more progress, but I guess he'll come when the time is right. Everything looked good with his heartbeat and my blood pressure, I even lost a pound. I'm beginning to feel enormous and a little run down. Luckily I only have 2 more days of work and then I'll be able to get some rest. Carson's room is ready and my bag is packed, so now it's just the waiting game. I feel like I'll probably be waiting until he induces on the 4th or 5th of April.

I did have an ultrasound last Friday in Conway and Carson measured to weigh 6 1/2 pounds. He was head down and everything looked good. I even saw some hair on his head!! I know that when they predict weight from ultrasounds they can be off a pound either way, so I'm hoping they weren't under estimating. If the measurements are right, he gains the average 1/2 a pound a week, and I go until April then that should put him at about 8lbs. We'll see!!

Totally don't rely on the estimte...Lyla was over 1 lb HEAVIER than they estimated. My doctor said "I may have been a little off on her weight..." as she was being delivered. Not the best time to get that type of news! We are anxiously awaiting Mr. Carson's arrival. Hang in there!!
