Carter Update!

Sorry for the long delay. However, I must say that I warned you I would not be good at keeping up with this blog daily, weekly, or even monthly. This month has been full of baby fun. Last week we found out that Carter now weighs 5 lbs and 7 oz. He has been gaining about 1 lb every 2 weeks. The doctors say he looks wonderful, and they are all very please with the blood sugars and his growth. At first he was a little small and they thought he might be underdeveloped, but he is now in the 54 percentile. We are so thankful for all the prayers and we know that the successfulness of this pregnancy is totally a GOD thing. Dr. Betcher gave us a tentative date for Carter's arrival this past week. Unless he comes before 38 weeks, they will induce me either November 1 or November 2. Thanks to so many of our wonderful family and friends, we are totally ready for his arrival. That is we have the stuff we need. I don't know if we will ever truly be mentally ready :) This past weekend we had a wonderful shower at Kathy and Henry's house. We were shocked and so thankful for all the great stuff. Then today I had my shower at the school with my wonderful co-workers. Thanks to everyone who has showered us with all the necessary things we will need for Carter. Many of these things I didn't realize I even needed. I guess I have a lot to learn.
