He’s Here!

Carter Anthony

7/16/11

7lb. 2 oz.

We are all doing great and are loving every minute with him.  OK maybe loving the middle of the night moments a little less, but still loving every minute.

He was born two days before our scheduled induction which was a surprise because I was convinced that was how it was going to have to happen since I was making no progress.  Maybe it was the full moon or maybe was him wanting him to be ornery with a labor that started at 10pm and ended at noon making for a very long night without much sleep. 

Since I was convinced that he was not going to come for another couple of days, I did not get all the blog posts written that I had planned.  And shockingly my productivity has taken a nosedive when there is a baby to love on as well as feed and change.  So I will get back to posting as soon as I can.

I am happy to report that Carter is a fan of his nursery.  Especially the elephant curtains.  I did not think of the whole “only seeing high contrast colors” thing when they are newborns when I selected the fabric, but I am pleasantly surprised how much he likes staring at them.  Really they are mesmerizing.

Hope you like the pics!  There are only 1000 more where that came from.
