Another doctor visit!

I am officially 30 1/2 weeks right now! Maddox is "in position"! He's head down already, so he's ready to roll!
Weight gain is great! Considering we went on vacation for a whole week and I ate like I'd never eaten before, I am happy to report I only gained 2 lbs. in the last 2 weeks, so only 16 lbs. total so far! (Sure it would have been more if Carson would have walked and not made me hold him the whole trip - I got my exercise with him that's for sure)
Heartbeat was 150 BPM this time, which was higher than normal, but still very good!
Garrett got a lot of things together for Maddox while we were on vacation. Baby toys, bouncers, etc. are out in the house right now. Carson seems to think they are "his toys".
We're really getting anxious to meet our little boy, but everything is going well and nothing else to report at all.

Another visit....

I went today for another visit. Has been 3 weeks since my last visit and I have gained 5 lbs. in these last 3 weeks. Seems it's all coming on at the end!
I have gained 14 lbs. total so far, and they tell me I'm right on target for my weight.
Maddox's heartbeat was 140 BPM, which has been the last couple times and is very good.
I am on every other week rotation for visits and am 28 1/2 weeks right now. At 36 weeks, I will go every week for check-ups!
Time is flying by with this one!
Nothing much else to report at all, just a normal routine visit and things are alright!

And his name is........

We're going to name baby Hughes: Maddox Carter Hughes!

This was the only name both Garrett and I could agree on. There were some others we liked but this one topped both our charts, so this is officially going to be his name.

Carter is my PopPop's name, so we're keeping the name in the family! We can't wait to meet our little man!
