Another Boy

My friend Trevor Wetterling and his wife Tricia, who live in Denver, had a beautiful little boy named Jake this week. He was born three days after Carter. Congrats! My cousin Kate and husband Mitch in Phoenix have a little boy named Carsten and our friends Nic and DeeDee in Austin recently had a sweet little boy named Nico. Carter is 6 days old and already is piling up the friends.

Beware the POO!

No... I'm not talking about Winnie... I'm talking about the attack of the projectile poo! Oh yes, my friends... it will definitely catch you off guard!
Andy was changing a simple little wet diaper... He was finishing up the wiping process when from out of nowhere a huge explosion occured. Our precious little angel managed to find a way to spew his poo on his nursery wall, the dresser and his daddy's shirt... all at the same time!!! It was incredible... He then proceeded to finish off the big event with a dramatic pee to his face! I think I nearly ruptured my C-section stitches by laughing so hard... but poor little Carter did not seem to see the humor in it just yet... I'm sure he will later when I re-tell the story to his first girlfriend :)
Its only been 5 days, and I can't imagine mine and Andy's life without him.

It's a Boy!

On January 24th, 2009, Carter Jack Hasbrouck was born. Since we didn't find out ahead of time if he would be a boy or a girl, it was a wonderful surprise when he came out. I screamed, "It's a boy!" and Trisha looked at me in disbelief. Apparently, the sound of the heartbeat is not as good of an indicator as many nurses thought. He was born 6 pounds 14 ounces and 20 inches long. So far, he has been a great little baby. Not a whole lot of crying and he's a great sleeper at night. He spends a lot of time opening and closing his eyes and using his little facial muscles to make as many faces as possible. I am home this week so I am soaking in as much baby time as possible before I have to go back to work. I will try to keep the site updated as frequently as possible. Enjoy!
