Hayden

We have a date! Baby Carson will be here Friday, May 8th!

I ended scheduling a c-section due to frustration and being rather puffy. My doctor isn't really liking my blood pressure and swelling and I've been put on strict orders to take it easy all week. She wanted to do it today but there wasn't any time to do it. My body also isn't wanting to let this baby out anytime soon. I have had no, zero, zilch signs on labor. My doctor also thinks that even though its a slim chance, the longer we go past my due date the more risk of Meconium Aspiration, like Hayden had.

I am excited and scared. I am happy that this time around I will see my baby be born. I will be one of the first to see him.(Jason, my mom, and Jason's parents all saw him before I did last time). A few people even saw Hayden in the NICU before I did! I will be able to hold Carson long before I was able to hold Hayden. I do know that this being a major surgery I may not feel all that great afterwards but I can't wait for those special moments just between Jason, Carson and I. We never got any of that before. We also think its important for Hayden to be the first to meet his little brother and have him introduce him to people.

I am not sure how long I will stay in the hospital. I was only in there for 36 hours with Hayden(i think!) and am able to stay for 4 days if i want. I don't know if Jason is in denial or what, but he isn't planning on taking any days off of work. He needs to at least bring me home from the hospital! I am hoping the hospital has wireless! I will for sure post pictures and stats as soon as I feel up to it! I can't wait to take pictures either! I just may ban all other cameras from my room! I will have exclusive rights to his pictures! Or at least make people sign a waiver....

Jason and I are not, at all germophobes but with all this Swine Flu nonsense we are not sure how to address it. I am sure people will use their judgement but this was a topic of longing conversation last night with no conclusions, we don't want to be paranoid but we still want to be cautious.

If anyone wants to get a hold of us this weekend call either one of our cell phones or as soon as i find out my private number at St Luke's I'll pass it on! Or email, they have to have Internet what will I do for 4 days???
