Ready or not here he comes..... They couldn't confirm for us that we really are having a boy, (it would have been nice to check one more time, but my first ultra-sound she was pretty sure) but it did confirm that everything looks good. The Dr. wanted to check the growth because with pre-clampsia it can prevent the placenta from receiving enough blood, which can cause your baby to be born very small, among other problems. Well I think baby Carson is okay on this area. In comparison, with Kelsi the Dr. also had me do another ultra-sound towards the end and she measured 5 lb 13 oz at 36 weeks, when he started me at 38 weeks she weighed 6 lb 9 oz so it seemed accurate to me. On Friday at 37 weeks they estimated him at 7 lbs 15 ounces. I was a little surprised with this. It will be interesting to see how close they are. So I turned in another 24 hr protein test. The test came back elevated again (went from 285 to 370). Today, I had a Dr. appointment. The Dr. didn't like that my levels were up, but glad they didn't shoot way up and he felt good that his growth seems okay, but he did decide to start me Aug. 4, @ 12:05 in the morning. This will put me getting started at exactly 38 weeks like with Kelsi, so leave a comment how much you think he'll weigh, length & when he'll be born etc. I'm so hoping this labor can go so much faster then the other two. It shouldn't be hard, but I was surprised when Kelsi somehow out did the record of Avery's.
Facts from the other two:
Avery: Started April 12th @ 1:00 a.m., born April 13th @ 5:13 a.m. (3 days overdue) Start to finish: 28 Hrs, 13 minutes
Weight: 7 lbs 6 oz; Height: 19-1/2 inches
Kelsi: Started Aug. 12th @ 1:00 a.m., born Aug. 13th @ 12:02 p.m. (started 2 weeks early) Start to finish: 35 hours
Weight: 6 lbs 9 oz; height: 18-1/2 inches
Carson: Started Aug. 4th @ 12:05 a.m., (starting me 2 weeks early)

Good Luck! So excited for you to receive a little (but actually HUGE) blessing from heaven. Love you.
Yay! I'm so excited for your family to get that little guy here. Here's hoping for a fast delivery this time around. Good luck!
I'm thinking he will be 8 lbs even and 19 inches long. (That's big for 2 weeks early but I like to think BIG). He will be born Thursday Aug. 4th at 8:15 a.m. I'm excited for his arrival and I will be glad one worry is behind us.
ALWAYS we are here for you guys but especially for the next 2 years until Avery is cancer and pain free again. Prayer always coming your way! Let's celebrate every good day!
I am thinking 7 lb 10 oz and 19 inches long. I think he will be born on the 4th at 3:45 pm.
Good luck and can;t wait to see him. Oh adnd I think he will have dark brown/black hair like avery but not such dark skin as Avery. Straight Hair like Kelsi.
I'll have to say 7 lbs 9 oz and I'm praying for Aug 4th 6:00 am. I think he'll be dark like Avery with lots of black hair.
Thanks for your fun comments! Thanks for those optimistic arrival times for the baby. I'm really hoping it's the reality:) What's the secrets Greta? Mentally say I think I can I know I can??
Gene/Dad thinks Thursday morning at 11:30 and weights 8 lbs 2 ozs. 20 inches. NO HAIR OR VERY LITTLE HAIR. Light brown hair on the bottom/just not much.
8 Lbs., 19 .5 inches, 8pm, on the 4th. Hopefully earlier! Best of luck. Xoxoxo. I love babies, can't wait to meet him.
I am going with 7 lbs 4 oz and 19 1\2 inches long and born at 5:30 PM Aug 4th! Good Luck Amber

Can't wait to see little Carson either. So glad he's here safe and sound and Mom is doing well. A big CONGRATS to you all. Sharron
I'm guessing 7 pounds 7 ounces and about 18 1/2 long. He will be born about 3:30 pm.
Kelly, That's funny! You left a comment after he was born & after you had seen him. Funny how you still got it slightly wrong, but probably was the closest;)
