It's still a boy!

Today, we went back to the doctor...and I gained a whoppin' 6 lbs. I MUST get a picture on here of my swollen feet and ankles!!! It's distrubing and painful. The doctor's appointment seemed to go going really fast, until Dr. Smith heard the baby's heartbeat in the top of my stomach. He was concerned the baby was not head down so he wanted us to have an ultrasound. We had no idea we would have to wait about an hour to have one! At least we got to see him...so to me it was worth the wait. Our doctor printed out a few pictures...of just the male anatomy?! He is weighing about 7lbs 9 oz per the ultrasound and is head down. I am still 1cm...no change. And Carter hasn't dropped yet either. So I could be at 1 cm for a while!

On Tuesday, we enjoyed a baby shower with science teachers! :) And next Tuesday, my department is hosting one for us and another teacher in my department.

I packed my bag for the hospital last night and mom came by tonight to do a little cleaning. I was starting to worry that I was going to have to leave the house a mess before the hosptial...but not anymore.

Well, I'm exhausted, with painful ankles. Off to bed!
