Is it time yet?

Is it time yet? LOL! No, not yet. But I have come to the conclusion I cannot get any bigger! And the swelling is horrendous. I drink massive amounts of water, I ice, I elevate, but nothing works!! I hope after I have the baby the swelling will go away. And I have decided there are not enough hours in the day. I feel like there is so much I need to do before he gets here. The scary part is I have an intuition that he is going to get here sooner than I think. We’ll see how my appointment goes on Monday.
Speaking of appointments we met with Dr. Wehby back on Wednesday (the pediatric neurosurgeon). John and I absolutely love her. She has a presence about her that is very relaxing and calming. And she has an accent that originates from Texas. So her personality and how she talked to us just set us at ease. She is not concerned about Baby Carl. Matter of fact she doesn’t really pay attention to mm measurements because she says everyone’s brains are different. This is something John pointed out at the beginning back in November with the first initial visit. Dr. Wehby talked to us about what she will do. After Baby Carl is born she will come to the hospital and check him out. He will need to get a cat scan. My initial worry was right after his birth they would whisk him away to run tests. She said the tests would most likely be conducted the next day or later that day. The only reason he would be whisked away is if there was something wrong. She said at this time it does not sound like he needs a shunt. She still discussed what that would entail if he did though. I was rather shocked to find out that it’s not that invasive and if he did need a shunt he would have it for the rest of his life but there would be no hindrances. He would still carry out a normal healthy life. So at this time it definitely seems like Baby Carl is going to be okay. He is in the care of some amazing people, (Dr. Martinez-Poyer, Dr. Wehby, and of course me and John, lol).
So I am now 36 weeks!! Baby Carl will be joining us soon!! I will have a post shortly after this to show you my belly!!
