Just like his daddy!

Yesterday's ultrasound was not too much fun...thanks to my very stubborn little boy! (Wonder where he gets that from??) Not only was Carter refusing to move, but he was transverse...and face down! He was folded up like a taco and had his feet covering his face and his hand covering his pee pee. Now, I understand if he no longer wants people seeing his "cash and prizes" but with a face like his, how does he not want people seeing that?? We literally got 2 pictures. One of his thigh and one of what looks like the top of his head. He is soooo grounded when he is born!

Anyway, more importantly, Carter is growing wonderfully. He is 15 inches long and weighs 2 pounds, 9 ounces. The doctor said he is on the "perfectly small size of average"...meaning he is small, but not too small. I was a small baby (6lbs. 11oz., 17in.) so I'm sure he is just going to take after me in that aspect. The doctor saw no physical abnormalities...although he could have fangs for all we know since he wouldn't show his face! But, he is normal and healthy...so I am happy!

I also went to my family doctor yesterday. Remember 2 weeks ago when my ear clogged? Well, up until yesterday I was completely deaf on my left side. It was awful! I tried flushing it with water and peroxide, as well as 2 different prescriptions from my doc...to no avail. I finally told her she had to help me. First, she tried digging it out with this ear spoon thing, but the wax was just too packed. So we moved on to a syringe with a little tube on the end, filled with peroxide and water. After the 4th flush, it finally came out! It was bigger than a pencil eraser...so gross!! I will continue to refuse using Q-tips. I think thats how wax got packed to begin with. Nonetheless, I can finally hear!!

Yesterday I decided to put up Halloween decorations. I just love holidays!! I will post pictures when I stop being lazy. After Steven got home from work, him, me, his friend Wes, and my mom all piled in the car and drove to Seneca-Allegany Casino. Its about 2 and a half hours away, which I drove...both ways! Yuck!! We had a good time, but unfortunately left with less than we had when we came. Steven is actually very good at poker...thank God, since I am not very great at slots!! I can kick ass with the best at the blackjack tables, but those darned video slots get me every time!! It was fun, but I think it will be our last casino hurrah for awhile. We have much more important things to worry about now!

I am off to relax. We are going to watch the Kimbo/Shamrock fight tonight and maybe hang out with my newly preggers friend tomorrow (soooooo excited for her!!). This coming week is a full one for me. Monday I have an appointment with my pain management doctor for my back, Wednesday is my breastfeeding class, and hopefully I can squeeze in a massage or 2...maybe Tuesday and Saturday. I need it these days! Better relax before its no longer an option!!
