January 11 0715 - so I'm getting induced today. They said they would probably call at 0630, but they haven't called yet. Mom is here from BC, she's supposed to leave monday so my dr. was nice enough to get the baby here now. He won't be delivering, though, which I'm bummed about, but he said he'd stop in this afternoon. I'm on very little sleep so I'm dying for that phone call. Get me in there! We're really excited to have the baby today. I'm betting on a great labour - about 6-7 hours. I can't wait to see her. I'm packed and ready to go, my mom's ready, daddy is sleeping but he showered last night, so he'll be ready to go when they call.

Carys is a Welsh girl name.
The meaning of the name is `Loving'

I know you were hoping we weren't going to say this, but don't expect this baby to come early. Your baby is nice and comfy tucked away in your womb and has no interest in joining the rest of the world. We predict your baby will be born after its due date. Your baby will most likely be born in the morning. Justmommies predicts that your baby will weigh approximately 6.5 pounds and that your labor will be about 12 hours long.

WHEN TO CALL THE PEDIATRICIAN FOR FEVER: http://babycenter.com/0_fever_84.bc

Most doctors — and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) — agree that a normal body temperature for a healthy baby is between 97 and 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit (36 to 38 degrees Celsius). If your baby's rectal temperature is above this range, he has a fever.

• If your baby is less than 3 months old and has a temperature of 100.4 degrees F (38 degrees C) or higher, call the doctor immediately. A baby this young needs to be checked for serious infection or disease.

• For a baby between 3 and 6 months old, call if his temperature reaches 101 degrees F (38.3 degrees C) or higher.

• If your baby is 6 months or older, call if his fever reaches 103 degrees F (39.4 degrees C) or higher.
