Dr. Appointment Update

I haven't been on here for awhile with the holidays and then started back to work. I had my doctor appointment today though and thought I should update everyone on how things are going. My appointments are now weekly, which is great! At my appointment today I had high blood pressure. So for precautions again, they wanted me to go to triage after my appointment. My doctor also put me on bed rest for a week until my next doctor appointment where they reevaluate me. While at triage they took my blood pressure every 15 minutes and took blood work. Once again, blood pressure is great at triage and blood work came back great. They gave me an ultrasound too while at triage to see if the baby was still measuring big. Carson is still measuring 2 weeks earlier. He is now about 6lbs they said. They did a 3D on his face and he just looks SO CUTE! He is now looking more like a baby. He has chubby cheeks and is just so adorable! I can't wait to really see him and hold him. So now I will be at home resting and just waiting anxiously for Carson to come. Oh, I actually felt contractions for the first time today too while at triage. I was never really sure how they feel since this is our first baby. But when I was hooked to the monitor the doctor was saying that I am contracting some. So now every time I feel a contraction I need to start timing it. I'll scan the picture of Carson tomorrow and post it. But for now, I'm exhausted and ready for bed.
