A short blog about recent happenings......
On Friday the 25th, I went for a routine doctor's appt where I had to do fetal monitoring. During my monitoring appointment, apparently I had a LONG contraction and baby Carson's heartbeat dropped during this time. The doctors admitted me to the hospital for continued monitoring. He has had a couple of similar epoisodes since then, but each time recovers from it beautifully. He is a healthy, strong little boy! This has left me in the hospital since Friday and I will be staying here for monitoring until we have his planned C-section on Friday 5/2/08! I am so excited for Friday to be here....I cannot believe that we have our baby's birthday all planned out. Basically, the doctors believe that a C-section will be better for him since we already know that contractions stress him out. I happen to think that our son just has a thirt for drama and wants to make things interesting for us in the days before his arrival! All in all, I am so happy to be here in the hospital because he is being monitored so closely and he can't pull any fancy tricks in front of these doctors and nurses. Last Friday, Carson had a perfect ultrasound and looks amazing according to our perinatologist. So we are all set to have this little boy and have him be as healthy as he can be! Whatever we need to do to make that happen is what we will do!
Thanks to everyone for calls and support - we will have some updates coming later in the week. Happy birthday to Carson on 5/2/08!!
Also, everyone who knows Jason should wish him a HAPPY 30TH BIRTHDAY tomorrow, April 30th. Looks like baby Carson will be just shy of a 30th birthday present to his beloved dad!
