No more "Papa"razzi!

I think he's getting tired of the flashes! Little Carter sat (slept) through his first church service today. He was great... and of course was a hit afterwards. People keep telling me, "just wait," when I talk about how good he's been, but we'll see. He has been a great little guy so far. We are hoping to do his baby dedication at church next Sunday since my folks will be here. That will be very cool if we can do it.

He is starting to get into a habit of sleeping all evening and then not being very tired when we go to bed. I think we're gonna have to try to fix that but I hate to wake him up when he is sleeping so peacefully. I had another explosive mess to deal with today when I attempted to change him a little prematurely:) Let's just say I don't think I will be drying off with that towel ever again!

Clean Bill of Health...

Carter had his first doctor's appointment yesterday and received a superb evaluation...basically, he's perfect :) Seriously, though, he's already grown half an inch and he left the hospital at 6lbs. 7oz. and now weighs 6lbs. 15oz. which is great! I mean he's our kid, so eating definitely isn't a problem! He was so brave when they took his blood... He let out two cries and then went back to sleep while they administered the rest of the test... What a trooper.
Andy and I are adjusting well, and my parents have been a big help. We are so blessed.
Please pray for our friends Alison Fox and Tricia Jennings. Alison is dealing with Gestational Diabetes and Tricia Jennings' baby is in the hospital with a really bad case of the flu. The more good thoughts and prayers the better!
Thanks, and hope you are all well.

Awwww....The Life

He sure is a happy baby. He has his first checkup tomorrow morning and it will be his first day without his daddy home. It will be difficult to focus on work when I have this face waiting for me.

Girls Galore...

Once again, in other baby news... girls are everywhere! Trisha's niece, Stevi and her husband Eddie, welcomed their second little girl to the world about 2 weeks ago! Our friends, Courtney Askew and Ali Fox-Dahlberg are also both expecting little girls in March and April. It is a wonderful and exciting time for everyone, so please keep all of these new babies and babies-to-be in your prayers.
