I'M HAVING A BABY TODAY!

Wow, I can't believe today is finally here. It still seems crazy that I am going to have two little boys by the end of the day. We don't have to be at the hospital until 10:30 so we are taking it easy this morning. It's been really nice to have this delivery planned. My mom came and picked up Carson yesterday and is going to keep him until Friday. Then he gets to spend a few days with Gigi and Pops. Tommy and I went to go see a movie last night. I don't think we have been to the movies since the summer! We both got to have one last night of sleep for a few months. Well, I slept as well as any woman who is 9 months pregnant! Luckily Tommy slept well. He didn't get any sleep the night before Carson was born.

We are both so excited for Shane to arrive. I can't wait to see what he looks like. I keep imagining that he is going to look a lot like Carson, but he could have Mommy's red hair and Daddy's green eyes. I think he is going to be a big baby. My weight guess is 8 lbs 8 oz and Tommy's is 8 lbs 5 oz. I absolutely think he will be over 8 lbs.

Hopefully we will have some pictures up in a few days!

Carson's Room

Gigi did a great job of painting Carson's room. He loves his cars. Tommy taught him to point to the cars and say zoom. It is adorable!

Carson is One!

I can't believe my baby is already one! This is a picture of him waking up on his birthday. I'm sure he won't be as smiley when I do this in a few years! You can see the mural in his new room that Gigi painted. I need to take some good pictures of it and post them. It turned out so cute!



Here are some pictures from Carson's party that Aunt Melissa took with her new camera. They turned out great! Gran and Pa got Carson a slide and swing that him and Andrew had to try.

CAKE! Carson ate his entire piece of cake one handful after the next!

Christmas 2008

Carson had a great first Christmas. We let him open one present early for practice. He loves our cell phones so we got him one of his own.

We got to celebrate Christmas with Gigi and Pops the Sunday before Christmas. At first, Carson was more interested in the coasters than the presents. He got a wagon that he loves to take rides in.

Carson and Pops

It was also Uncle Clay's birthday. Carson had a great time playing with Uncle Clay!

Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve, we went to Nanny's house to celebrate. Andrew brought baseball cupcakes for Jesus' birthday because everyone needs baseball cupcakes on their birthday. Carson and Andrew enjoyed the cupcakes. This was Carson's first taste of cake. He didn't have any icing. We are saving that for his first birthday!

Nanny had a dancing Santa under her tree that Carson liked. He even danced with it a few times! He does love to dance.

Carson and Uncle Jordan

Andrew got a guitar from Nanny and Grandy.

Carson got some really cute Christmas pajamas from Gran and Grandpa. The hat was so cute, but didn't stay on for long!

Carson and Gran. He loves looking at pictures.

Christmas Day

We spent Christmas Day at Gran and Grandpa's new house. They got Carson and Andrew matching outfits to wear!

Aren't they adorable!

Andrew really liked his football helmet that he got.

Carson got a power wheels firetruck from Gran and Grandpa.

Andrew liked it too!

The Day After

Carson finally got to open his presents from Mommy and Daddy on the day after Christmas.

He really liked his guitar!

First Haircut

Carson got his first haircut yesterday. He was such a good boy! He sat in the race car and watched himself steer in the mirror. I didn't realize how much hair he had until she started cutting it. His new haircut it so cute!

Here are his before and after shots.

The Big Box

Shane's new furniture came in a big box that Tommy turned into a fort for Carson. Carson and Hannah had a great time playing in it on Thursday. Hannah thought it was fun that she could get inside it and then move it. Carson just liked following Hannah.

I have not been doing a very good job of updating my blog! Carson loves to push the buttons on the keyboard so I only get on the computer when he is sleeping or playing with Daddy. And lately when he is napping, I have been napping! I forgot how tried the third trimester makes me.

I am amazed at how quickly Carson went from taking a couple of steps to walking everywhere. He loves to walk now. He still hasn't figured out how to stand up without pulling up on something. He usually walks until he loses he balance and falls then he crawls to the closest thing he can pull up on. I am so glad he is walking before Shane gets here!

At my last doctors appointment, we scheduled my c-section for February 4. Unless Shane decides to arrive early, he will be born on the 4th. I can't believe how fast this pregnancy has gone! I am really excited for him to get here. It is going to be so much fun watching Carson and him together.

Carson turned 11 months old on Saturday and still has no teeth! Last night I made pasta with meatballs and we decided to see if Carson would eat it. He really liked the pasta with sauce on it. He is such a messy eater that we decided to take his shirt off. He got the sauce all over himself!

Carson loves to point at things he wants. He is pointing at the camera because he loves to look at the pictures I have taken. He really likes to get Mommy or Daddy to pick him up then point at where he wants to go.
