Baby Caden Update



After a long 45 minutes in the waiting room, Elizabeth, Chris, & I were able to see Caden on his final ultrasound. As far as me, I'm doing great! Blood pressure is perfect, measurements, protein, everything. Next, we have Caden. A perfectly healthy little baby who loves to kick his mommy's ribs. (The picture is of his face. He is laying on the side, & if you can make out a big cheek you've got it figured it out. You can also see his lips, nose, & eyes. HOWEVER... my perfectly healthy baby happens to be 2 POUNDS ahead of schedule, putting him at a current weight of 6 pounds. Because this ultrasound was suppose to estimate his birth weight, she sees him being 9 or 10 pounds. I kind of wanted to cry after hearing that. All I can think is... OUCH! So maybe all of you could say a little prayer to the big man that he comes earlier, but of course also healthy. I'd REALLY appreciate it. This is my very last week of school, so I will have plenty of time to begin walking. I'm scared to start all of the "rituals" of putting myself into labor to early because I want him to be "fully matured" as my doctor called it. I think at the end of next week will be a good time, haha. My next (weekly) appointment is Tuesday, and we'll see if anything is happening. She said if I start to "thin out" we can discuss inducing. Once again, please pray for me & baby Caden. I don't know about you guys, but I'm beyond ready to meet him.

Love you all,
Kera
