First 2 weeks...

Carter will be 2 weeks old tomorrow (Saturday); it's crazy how fast the time is already flying by! He's absolutely precious and it's amazing how much love you can have for such a tiny little human being. I still catch myself saying to myself "wow, i can't believe he's actually MINE". Rob and I could not have been blessed with an any more perfect child (of course we are probably pretty biased - haha). Don't get me wrong, we're definitely having to adjust to life being totally different but I wouldn't trade it for anything. Poor Rob is slowly trying to catch up on sleep but he has been absolutely amazing. The evenings are his time and I love to just watch him and Carter together! Beginning mid-week Carter started sleeping better at night and I actually only have to get up with him once which is AWESOME! During the day Carter and I just hang out or he sleeps while I attempt to get housework, etc. done or we run errands. He absolutely loves his carseat and riding which makes getting out pretty easy for me which I'm so thankful for b/c I would go crazy if I had to remain couped up in the house all the time! Every day more and more of his little personality shines through and it's so fun watching him grow and develop. His 2 week follow-up appointment is next Thursday and I'm curious to see how much he's grown since he's a little horse when it comes to eating! I'll try to do better to keep the blog updated....for now enjoy some of the loads of pictures from Carter's first 2 weeks!

Carter's Here!!!

Carter Hudson decided to join us Saturday afternoon at 4:47 pm. He's came into the world at a healthy 8 lbs. 4.6 oz. and 20 1/2 inches long. He's absolutely perfect and we're extremely proud parents. Thanks to everyone already who has come to visit us in the hospital! We get to go home tomorrow and I think we're all very ready! I'll post pictures soon!

Anxiously waiting....

I had another weekly check-up today and everything looks good! Although I'm ready for Carter to be here I know I need to be patient and just be thankful of how blessed Rob and I are and how fortunate I've been to have such an easy pregnancy and healthy baby growing inside! The doc says that based on feeling on my stomach we're gonna have a pretty good sized baby....thank goodness for drugs! haha! I just can't wait to hold him and see what he's like and looks like, etc.... Anyways, I'm progressing a little and I'm 1 1/2 centimeters. If I don't go by my next appt. on Monday, the 19th, we'll schedule being induced! It's so exciting to know that I have a final countdown!
