2 Weeks Old Today!

Well Carson is officially 2 weeks old today and is already growing like a weed. We had is first check up on Monday and he is now 8 pounds and 20 3/4 inches in length. We have had a fair amount of visitors lately which we love! My friends from Indianapolis came up for a visit over the weekend and we visited with Uncle Paul and Aunt Mary as well. Carson does great with visitors and it is so nice to hear what a good baby he is. We certainly think it and it is nice to hear it from others as well. We also heard on Monday from our doctor that Carson is the best looking baby she has delivered in a long time! That is really saying something. Of course we all know he is cute as can be, but once again the validation is very nice! Carson is eating well from a bottle right now which in combination with his bili blanket has eliminated his jaundice. Now that he isn't yellow anymore, we are trying to get him back on breast milk, but it is a slow process. We will try for a little while longer, but mommy has decided not to be hard on herself about it if it doesn't work out this time around. We will update more later, but for now, enjoy the pictures of Brady and Carson with some of our weekend visitors!

Carson Is Here!!!

Hey Everyone!
I am very proud to announce that Carson is here! He made his grand debut following 16 hours of labor on March 31, 2010 weighing in at 7 pounds 11 ounces and 19.5 inches in length. He has a full head of beautiful dark brown hair (which explains mommy's heartburn the last 9 months)! We arrived home yesterday (April 2) and everyone is doing pretty well. Carson does have a slightly elevated bilirubin level after a follow up trip for lab work today and home health care stopped by to give us a bili blanket to keep him lit up on all day. We go back for more labs tomorrow to see if he can stop using it or not. He is such a good baby and doesn't do much but sleep at this point in time (that will likely change very quickly so we are enjoying it while we can!) Brady is adjusting well to being a big brother and is fascinated with his new sibling. He is learning what it means to be gentle and loves to help feed his little brother! Here are some pictures of Carson and the family, I will update more later! Thanks to everyone for all their love and support!
