Any day now!

We had another baby appointment and it went very well.  I have progressed a little more and things are moving right along.  The doctor expects that the baby will come before his due date...I really hope so! We are so excited to meet him and waiting even another week seems like a life time.  We have one more baby appointment this upcoming Friday, if we make it to Friday.  Since the doctor has given us the choice of an induction we might consider it.  If I don't go into labor by April 8th we are going to ask to schedule the induction on that day.  I really don't want to be induced, but that might just be the road we have to take.  The doctor thinks that the baby is on the larger size, probably 8 to 8.5 lbs.  She doesn't want me to go past my due date because she doesn't want to run into any complications based on his size.  So I guess we will see what happens between now and then!   I am trying to really enjoy these last few weeks.  I will definitely miss being pregnant with him, but I am equally as excited to meet him.   I have been pretty tired but I try to rest as much as possible.  I am still working full time, most days aren't too bad, but it can definitely drain me out.  We will keep everyone updated if anything happens!

Carter is full term! About 3 weeks to go!

We had another baby appointment today and things went really well.  Still about the same as last week.  I am definitely to the point where I hope he comes soon.  I am so tired lately and have absolutely no energy.  Being on my feet all day at work has made it tough too.  The doctor actually told us that we could be induced a week early if we wanted because she thinks that the baby will be big, about 8 + pounds.  Though having him a week early sounds really good I definitely want to avoid being induced if possible.  Our next appointment is next Friday and I really hope there is a little more progress.  We are very anxious and ready for him to come already!  :)

Maternity Photos






So Ryan and I finally decided to take a few maternity photos today.  I have wanted to do this for a while but either haven't had the time or the energy.  We are hoping to go to another park next weekend a take a few more. 

It's so crazy to think that this little baby is going to be here in about 3 weeks. Ahh!!  I can't even imagine what things will be like once he is here. Until that day, I am still working full time.  Working has been getting tough these past few weeks, but soon I will be able to spend 12 weeks with my little one. I wish it was longer, 12 weeks just doesn't seem like it will be long enough.
