Campbell's room

We have finally finished Campbell's room! I am glad Campbell has waited to arrive until I could get it done. At our Dr.'s appt. on Wednesday they did another ultrasound and said the fluid level is up! Although, Campbell is still very small, only weighing 5lbs. 12oz. The doctor's aren't' concerned, they just say she is going to be small. We go back on Friday for a non-stress test and as long as everything looks good then they will go ahead with the planned induction on January 2nd! So this time next week Campbell Elizabeth will be here! Oh my!

What a fun day

Truck and 4 wheeler

Look what Santa brought

Ready for Santa

We all had a wonderful Christmas! It was so much fun watching Carter with all his toys! Carter must have been a good boy because Santa sure was good to him!

Carter with Santa

Carter wasn't very fond of the jolly old man this year! We tried everything we could to get him to calm down. But at least we have a picture for the scrapbook! I am sure he will look at this picture one day and get a good laugh; or be totally embarrassed!

No baby yet!

I had my 37 week appointment today and Campbell is doing okay. Her abdomen is now 3 weeks behind schedule but everything else is measuring perfectly. The doctor thinks she will just be skinny; much like Carter :o) At today’s appt. she weighed 5lbs.11oz. The fluid level was measuring okay but on the low side. I am almost 2 cm dilated so I have been instructed to drink as much water as possible and rest, rest, rest! They didn’t feel that the baby needed to be delivered right away so I will go back for another ultrasound on Wednesday the 26th. At that appt. they will decide if they should induce or if I will go back on the 28th for another ultrasound check. I am scheduled for an induction on Wednesday, January 2nd so if all goes well between now and then; that’s when she will be born. So far, it doesn’t look like we will have a Christmas baby! Whew!!!!!!

Update on Campbell

At my 36 week doctor's appt. I measured back on track! Thank goodness. At my 37 week appt. on Thursday they will do another ultrasound and if Campbell is still measuring small they will go ahead and induce! I sure hope she is back on track too because I am not ready to have a baby at the end of the week!

Campbell's baby shower

On the 9th my wonderful friends showered me with gifts for Baby Campbell. We all had such a wonderful time and had the most fun with all the girly things! I am so fortunate to have such loving friends!

Still not enough

In the middle of all of this too, Brandon started feeling bad. He went to his doctor on Wednesday and discovered he has strep throat! Haven't we had enough going on already! Brandon is on antibiotics too and I have been very busy cleaning everything multiple times in hopes of not getting sick! Thank goodness for Clorox Anywhere spray!

Glimpse of Baby Campbell

In the middle of Carter's illness I had a doctor's appt. I am measuring a little on the small side so they wanted to do an ultrasound of the baby. She looks good but her abdomen is on the small side. While it is on the small side, it is still in the normal range so they aren't terribly alarmed yet. I have been instructed to rest on my left side for 2 straight hours a day. Not easy to find with a 20 month old running around! They did a regular 2D and then they did the really fun 3D/4D picture! I thought it was so cool so see our little one! I am also already 1cm dilated but they say that's not out of the ordinary for this to be a 2nd baby!

First sickness

Carter made it 20 months before his first sickness! They were pretty impressed at the Dr.'s office! Carter decided for his first sickness to be a real doozy! He started out Monday night with a low grade temp, which on Tuesday progressed in to a cold. Still a low grade temp. so the Dr. said to treat it as a cold. He was miserable all day and night, waking up about every hour and just crying! Well, on Wednesday after my Dr.'s appt. Carter had a temp of 104.5, oh my! Called his Dr. and of course they wanted to see him. They discovered he had an ear infection in both ears! Yikes! Brandon says the child shows no pain because he never once pulled at his ears. Now he is on antibiotics and is doing better. We had some pretty tough nights but thank goodness things are starting to get back to normal!

Thankful for . . .

and Daddy's shoes!

Playing ball with Granmama at Thanksgiving

I am way behind on updating pictures so I am going to try and get up to speed. This was Thanksgiving night while Carter and my grandmother were playing ball. We had such a nice Thanksgiving and have so many things to be thankful for this year!
