Baby Update!

Had my check-up with the doc today. And we got to have an ultrasound and take another peek at little Chase. He is measuring right at 5lbs. and is still about a week ahead. I still can't believe he is 5lbs.! Some babies are born at 5lbs.! Surprisingly, the doc didn't put me on full bed rest just yet. He's letting me off the hook until my next appointment in two weeks. My blood pressures are still borderline and he wants me to take it easy as much as possible still. If they get too high over the next week or so, I'm under strict instruction to call their office for a consult. Being the good patient that I was, I took my BP readings over the past two weeks, all nicely typed into an excel spreadsheet for his review today, which he appreciated. I guess it's the accountant in me, but Excel is my favorite application. :) And I've managed to gain a little more weight, bringing my total to 12lbs. now. Anyways, we went ahead and preliminarily scheduled the c-section for Monday January 24th. So, this will be Chase's birthday, unless my blood pressure gets too dangerous like last time, or I actually go into labor on my own. And for some reason, I have this weird feeling that I will go into labor, which I'm not too excited about. I didn't experience any water-breaking, contractions, or anything like that with Austin, so I feel like I would freak out if it happened. But we'll just take it one day at time, I guess. Anyways, it's nice to have an end-date in my head.
