Bryce Jackson Carlson: welcome to this world!


Bryce was born on Tuesday, August 24th at 12:59pm via scheduled C-section.
I am creating this blog to record all of his accomplishments, funny stories and pictures because lord knows his mother cannot keep anything in her head for longer than an hour let alone keep her 2 children straight!
Bryce was 7 pounds 3 ounces. 18.5 inches long with a head circumference of 13.5 inches.
This pregnancy was a lot different than Sierra's. I had a lot more energy throughout and up until that last month, I felt really good. In the last month though, I was a bit uncomfortable because he was all ready to go with his head down on my pelvis bone putting some incredible pressure down there when I sat down and walked. The only comfortable position I found was laying down. The last couple of weeks, I layed down a lot (even at work)! The frustrating part of it all, was that I knew I was having a repeat C-section so it didn't matter if he was in the proper position!
I wasn't sick at all during the pregnancy but very early on had a loss of appetite. Hence, I managed to keep the weight gain to a minimum and even gained 4 ponds less than I did for Sierra.
That was the pregnancy in a nutshell! Nothing too exciting happened.

  1. I don't know how you keep up your blogs but this is terrific. You really have told a story and it makes one feel much closer to the babies. Thanks for sharing all this and for all your effort to put it together.
    Love Dad
