April 28!

I went to the doctor today. Everything is normal, which is great! I am measuring about 1/2 a week big.
I talked to my midwife today about my due date. Matt has to be gone then. They are filling out paperwork for deployment that weekend. He can't miss it. You know, fun stuff like the living will, signing over power of attorney, all our Social Security information...3 days worth of paperwork. It is really important to us that he is home for the birth of Carson. He missed Jenna's because he was still in training. So, Angela(midwife) told me that she would schedule to take Carson on April 28, unless he comes earlier. We are so excited!!
April 28 is Anna's birthday(my aunt). She is pregnant too. Her due date is May 6. (Mine was May 3.) We also have children born in the same year, 2007. That's really cool that he could be sharing a birthday with her. Also, we have lots of birthdays together in our family. Ben(brother) was born on my 6th birthday. And Lindsey(sister) was born on my mom's 27th birthday. It's all kind of ironic...but I like it.
Anyways, April 28th...here we come!!

Baby Shower

My mom had a baby shower for us today! The theme was cowboy and it was absolutely great. I hate Matt missed it but we had so much fun and got lots of BOY stuff for little Carson. There was a total of 8 kids there...4 Campbell boys, Jenna, Shelby(cousin), and Makayla and Kendall(They are an army family too). We missed Brant and Jeremiah! We had a blast! Here are the pics...thanks to Denise.

28 weeks

I went for my 28 week appointment today. I am measuring great and the baby is finally head down. He weighs 2 lbs and 4 oz. I had an ultrasound and everything looks good there too. My placenta is totally out of the way of my cervix, which is wonderful!! No C-Section for me! (Hopefully.) There has been a shadow on his heart that they were concerned about but that has resolved itself as well. I had to do that nasty sugar test. (You have to drink a nasty drink and wait an hour and then they take your blood. Fun.) I also got a shot in the butt. (Even more fun.) I am Rh negative which means I have to get a shot now and then right after the baby comes. I had to do the same thing with Jenna. (Read more about it here) It was an eventful day at the doctor but everything is right on track now. We're getting so excited about him coming soon! In this picture he is playing with the cord up to his mouth. Funny.

Contractions, Shrek and Land Navigation?

Jenna and I have been staying back and forth between home and my mom's house. Lindsey has been staying with us during the week. We are so ready for Matt to come home!!

Last week I started having some contractions and some pain in my kidneys. I went to the hospital for them to monitor us for a little while. I was having a few real contractions but nothing major. They also did a few tests. All came back negative but one. It showed that I had blood in my urine. I have kidney stones and they were moving around in my kidneys and causing some pain. They sent me home after a few hours and told me to stay off my feet. Ha! I have a 17 month old and my husband is out of town...good luck with that. I go back to the doctor on Thursday. I'm anxious to talk to her about it. And also we'll be getting another ultra sound to see if my placenta has moved up.

Jenna is at such a fun age! She is learning new stuff everyday. Her new favorite thing in this world is Shrek. All you have to do is mention his name and she'll go on forever about watching him and who all she's watched him with. We were wanting to get away from Dora some but uh..Shrek? Is that any better? Now we have Dora and Shrek! She has also started playing with her baby dolls ALL the time. She wants to feed them, give them lotion, give them juice, read to them, cover them with blankets, on and on and on...what she doesn't realize is that she is just practicing for the real thing. Here is Jenna watching Shrek and the Campbell's house. :)

Matt is doing so great at WLC. I get to talk to him twice a day..maybe. Last week he was able to e-mail a lot because they were in the classroom but this week not so much. They are doing lots of stuff in the field and are very busy. (I hope the time is going by faster for him than it is for me!) They have 4 tests to do while they are there. He was very nervous about some of them. He did great though! I knew he would. He had to teach a class and get graded on it..he made a 96! He had to lead PT one morning...he made a 95! He got graded on troop leading and made an 87. He was bummed about that until he found out that it was the second highest grade in the class! He also had to do Land Navigation and got all 3 of his points! He was most excited about that one. He says it's one of his weak points. As you can see, he's doing GREAT! Having said all that..He's ready to come home. He's so tired and burnt out. He has been going non-stop for weeks! He comes home on Saturday night and we can't wait!! He also starts his new job on Monday. He was able to send me this pic and I thought I would share it. I really like it.

That's all for now!

Baby Update

We went to the doctor today. Carson is doing great! He weighs 1 pound 3 ounces. My placenta is still low but good news...its moving up slowly! Another ultrasound in 4 weeks! Wahoo! (I am 23 weeks!!)

It's a boy!

We went for our ultrasound today. We are having a BOY! We're so excited. Everything else looks ok. We are going back for another ultrasound in 4 weeks because my placenta is still low but we aren't worried about it. The first picture is his face and the second one is showing that he's a boy! YAY!!! We've picked a name out already. We've had this since before we knew that Jenna was a girl. Carson James Edgeworth. Looks like I got a lot of girl stuff to go through to get ready for my new boy! :)

My Bladder

So something happened to me last night at my mom's house that's never happened before. This never happened when I was pregnant with Jenna. I was headed to the bathroom. I sneezed...twice. And then I had wet clothes.

Thanks to my sister who was home washing clothes I was able to change.

Yep, this is what's happening to me....

Doctor's Appointment

I went to the doctor today. They couldn't find the heartbeat so they had to do an ultrasound. The same thing happened with Jenna so I wasn't worried. My doctor wanted me to have one anyway. She likes me! :) Everything looks good. My iron is really low and my placenta is really low but nothing to worry about. (It just means I get another ultrasound next time too! Oh darn.) They even moved my due date up to May 3! Yes!

Pregnant...again!

Yes...It is true...I am pregnant again. A wonderful surprise!
