Update on baby Carson

We had our fifth doctor's appointment on Tuesday July 27th. Everything is good, his heartbeat is strong. My doctor alleviated all my fears that I had after being present at the birth of my nephew Xavier. Being on seizure meds I was concerned about whether he might go through withdrawals once he was born. I was also concerned about what would happen if I had a seizure while giving birth. He assured me that was something I didn't need to worry about. He quickly squelched my fears about having a seizure too by reassuring me because my seizures are well controlled he doesn't anticipate that happening, but if it does what he would do.
I then asked him about what might happen if I tear, Erin did poor thing and is sore and has been in pain for weeks. My Doctor said that there are different degrees of tearing and it is likely because Carson is my first that there will be tearing, but the degree to which Erin tore is highly unlikely. Congrats Er on being the one in two that tears that badly. Baby Xavier is worth it I'm sure.
18 weeks from now I will have my son in my life, where did the time go?

Now my fears are only school related, anyone willing to reassure me in that aspect?

Generosity of others

Last night my neighbor and his daughter knocked on our door with a stroller in tow. I guess Graham and Cara were cleaning house and getting rid of some things, Graham said that Cara went throgh a phase where she bought strollers every few months...anyway, they were getting rid of this almost brand new, still had the owners manual attached blue and brown stroller-so cute for our baby boy! He said if we wanted it it was ours!
I brought it into the house stunned as Corby rounded the corner to see who was at the door. It took us a minute to figure out how to fold it down, but I just can't believe the generosity of others, wanting nothing in return!
What a blessing, one more thing to check off the list!

Nephew's Arrival and 6 years later

Since the last entry, Erin had Xavier on July 12 at 6:37 p.m. after a 10 hour labor. I was privileged enough to be in the delivery suite with her when my nephew was born. An experience I won't soon forget, what a miracle it was. Although after seeing Erin's delivery, I'm either thinking about just keeping Carson inside or scheduling a C-section! !

Yesterday Corby and I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary! Corby played hookie and we went to a movie and shopped around a bit, then went to dinner at Outback Steakhouse, which I lost seconds after we got home. Good thing we had a gift card so he really wasn't out a whole lot. I did tell him I was sorry over and over though.

Overall it was a good day, minus loosing dinner.

Update on Erin

It would seem that my sister will be having her son this weekend, July 10 or 11. If not this weekend they will be inducing her on Monday. Yay, no more waiting! Xavier Rex Harrison is coming! The doctor told her yesterday that because of her high blood pressure, they can't wait any longer than Monday.

Can't wait to meet Carson's playmate!

Stay tuned for the details of his arrival

Baby Carson

On the 6th I went to my second ultrasound, the first one indicated that the baby might have been a girl. This one however showed a very different outcome. Corby and I are expecting a BOY!

We've decided to name him Carson William, William after my grandpa who passed away a few years ago.

I've been decorating the nursery in the past few days, we wanted to go with a jungle theme-fits for boy or girl. So I ordered the corresponding wall decals to coordinated with the bed set and my mom gave me a wall saying.

Here's a few pictures of Carson and his corner of the world.

P.S. Corby assisted me in painting the letters, he did a good job huh? I did the green and white dots
