The Big Day Is Here

Hey Everyone,
The big day has finally arrived. Despite a few false alarms this past week, Carson has decided not to come on his own. Thanks to all of the extra fluid he has been sleeping on, he doesn't want to engage and keeps bouncing around in Mommy's tummy. Mommy is currently 2 cm dilated and her blood pressure is now on the rise, so it is time to induce. Tonight at 6pm we will head in for our induction and Carson should make his debut tomorrow morning. We are all having a lot of nervous excitement, but we are all ready to meet Carson. I think Brady may be a little confused to see that Carson is no longer hiding in Mommy's belly, we will have to see! :) To give you all a little to tide you over til pictures arrive tomorrow, here are a few pictures from this morning so you can see just how much little Carson is growing and how excited we all are to meet him!

Carson 37 Week Check Up

Hey Everyone,
We are now closer than ever! Carson has dropped 3 centimeters and I am now 1.5 cm dilated. The doctor says things are progressing very well. She says I have a lot of fluid in my womb so he likely isn't quite as large as he seems ( I am hoping for under 8 pounds), but she can tell that he does have a good sized head, therefore the latest news is that if Carson does not decide to come on his own this next week I will be induced on Tuesday with his arrival likely on Wednesday. So the good news is that we are down to our last week officially. It looks like Carson will be a March baby instead of an April baby, so we can finally finish our census paperwork lol! On a side note, we would also like to send congratulations out to Tricia and Mark. Carson and Brady's newest cousin arrived this morning at 1:05 a.m. weighing 5 pounds 3 oz and 19 inches. Welcome to the world, Corbin Patrick William Clark!

Cason's 36 Week Check Up

Hey Everyone!
Everything is looking great and moving right along! Carson had a check up today and he is measuring full term 40 weeks and Dr. Girod says it looks like he will have a big head just like his brother Brady. His heart rate is holding steady at 138 bpm, and mommy is already dilated to 1 cm. Everything checks out well and doc says we may go any day. We may start taking walks, etc to speed this process up, but it looks like Carson may end up being a March baby after all! We'll keep you updated!
