Surprise Micah Sheldon Carson is early

Please click post title to see Micah's hospital photo! The page password is our last name.

He caught everyone off guard by arriving 4 weeks early. My water broke about 9:45 AM Wednesday morning. We arrived at the hospital at about 11:00 AM. By 3:00 PM the doctor was confident that my water had truly broken and that I was in labor. After 26 hours of labor my doctor decided that for the safety of Micah and myself that a C-section was the best way for me to safely deliver, due to my cervix failing to progress in labor. I dilated to 6.5 cm and stayed there for over five hours. By 1:00 PM I was scheduled for surgery.

Micah's stats:

Micah was delivered at 2:10 PM on 7/27/06 at HEB Harris Methodist Hospital. He weighed 5 pounds 12 ounces, and length is 17.5 inches

Mom and baby are doing excellent and were released early and were back at home by Saturday evening. More updates will follow soon.

10th Prenatal visit

My delivery date is only about 5.5 weeks away now. The doc is still saying that everything looks to be right on target.

Baby update : As of 7/13/06 the doc says that the baby weighs about 4-5 pounds. Baby is kicking and hitting a lot harder.

Daddy update : Ready for the baby to be here now.

Mommy update : Feeling overwhelmed and a little down, but alright. Insomnia is back, but I am dealing with it:-(

Baby's nursery

Sorry for the delay, but here are most of the pics. I still have a few finishing touches to add.

Happy 4th of July

Baby Shower

We want to thank all of our friends and family that made this celebration a wonderful time!

Special thanks go to Kira for the beautiful cake and decorations, LeCinda and Wilma for the entertainment, Erica for the good candid photos, and Mr. Raymond for filming, Terrance for the food, and everyone that helped cleanup afterwards.

Be looking out for baby Carson's birth announcement.

Thanks again,

9th Prenatal visit

We are getting down to the end days. There will be two more 2 week doctor visits. Then we will begin going weekly until baby Carson arrives.

Baby update: As of 06/28/06 the baby's growth is right on target. The baby now hiccups about 2-3 times a day, which is very good for developing lungs. Baby Carson loves to bump around all throughout the day now.

Daddy update: Very excited and now states that he is ready for the baby! Keeping Mommy from doing too much by helping out decoration the nursery (pics soon to come). Making sure Mommy is eating right, and relaxed.

Mommy update: Trying to take it easy, but getting restless. Baby load seems to be getting heavier everyday (even though doctor says I have only gained 17 pounds so far). Making sure that all last minute preparations are getting done before baby arrives.
