So anyways, back to baby. Carter is doing awesome. He is sleeping anywhere from 4-8 hours at night. I made the mistake of waking him up in the middle of the night to eat (which apparently I was called many names that included the words... insane and stupid). But I was getting rather uncomfortable if he went longer than 4 to 6 hours. But anyways, he is doing awesome. He had many first's the last couple weeks. We had our first night at home, first sponge bath (hated), first Christmas, first belly button (yay!), first Hanukkah at Bubbie's, first pictures, first blow out (yes, that's right in the middle of Kroger, just threw his clothes away), and first new years; among other things.
Its amazing to think of my life without this kid. He is wonderful. I might moan and groan when I don't sleep but it makes it so worth while to see him stare into my eyes and know that he is studying every detail of my face and coming to know that this face will always be in his life. My only wish is that my grandparents (my mom's parents) would have seen him. My grandma would eat him up and my Papaw would probably put him to work already splitting wood or something :). He was definitely worth the wait.
Today is Carter's 4 week birthday. We had a one week birthday party with my mom and dad and Corey's parents and Maddie and Aunt Cindy but that was the last birthday party we had. I am definitely getting him another cake for his one month. I know a little crazy but I do love parties! Here are a few pictures, some from the hospital and all the way up until Tuesday. Enjoy and I love you!
