Thanks to you all for the responses. The pregnancy is going very well. I feel good and fat I’ll end up gaining 45 pounds by the time I deliver which is about 10 pounds more than my other 3 pregnancies. I blame it on the dex but you know...I could have said no to all those extra donuts or whatever I let myself eat!!! I am glad this is my last pregnancy though so I can concentrate on getting my body back after this little man. Other than that, I’m in pretty good spirits and just getting ready. The neighborhood I live in is so supportive. They are throwing me a diaper/cleaning shower (since I have 8 yrs worth of boys clothes!) They are also cooking me meals for a month. I can’t complain!!!!!!

At my last ultrasound, the baby weighed approx. 5 pounds so they expect he will be around 9lbs. My last son was 8lbs, 12oz so I’m sure this one will be right around there. I have 55 days left (but who’s counting!!!!) The doc told me that if I go into labor anytime after Nov. 6 they’ll let me go..So..I’ll keep everyone posted. Please say a little prayer for the baby and for me too!!

As far as the circumcision, I think it should go like my last one’s did but like I said before I’m wondering how the doc’s will handle everything. I know it’s just a wait and see as to how this little guy will respond but again..I’m hoping it will be like his brother. The CAH doesn’t scare me anymore, it’s the doctors that worry me. I just wanted to see if there were others who had their sons circumcised without extra meds, or any for that matter,  even though they knew about the CAH.  I’m pretty comfortable having it done at the hospital  as long as there are no other complications.

Thanks again,

Sandra
