Welcome to the world!

Carter came in the world on April 20th at 3:46pm. It was a long day that turned into me having a cesection around 2:00pm. Things went really fast after they said I would not be able to have him normally. He was perfect with all his fingers and toes :) We had to stay in the hospital until Thursday since I had a cesection so by the time we got out we were all ready to head home. Wednesday before going home was a rough day for all of us. I got really sick and thought I would never be able to go home so when Thursday came and I was all better we were all really excitied!

Since coming home things have been like a roller coaster. He sleeps pretty well now, however, the first week was pretty rought for all of us. Now we are getting into a routine and doing much better. If Carter could learn how to keep his own paci in his mouth things would be GREAT! Just a few days ago we started to have tummy problems so I am trying Mylocon and little tummys gas drops to help him feel better. Have any suggestions?

On Saturday my wonderful MOM is taking him for the day and night so Ryan and I can have date night!!!!!!!! We are just counting down the days!

Here are some pictures we had taken of Carter. These are not all of them just what she has sent me so far. I will set up more as they come in :)

Two weeks of Carter's life and here are some things we have learned:

1. He loves to sleep in his swaddle blanket
2. He loves his paci!
3. Sometimes he will cry for no reason!
4. he can hold his neck up pretty well
5. He loves to look at the lights

ohmygoodness!! what a beautiful baby! perfect little c-section head.
christmas lights.... that's what i attribute to my children being so smart. i read that it would stimulate their little brains. plus, it helped that all my kids were born around christmas, and i just threw a strand or two around their crib.
we are so happy for you guys!
