Carter-Man

We just absolutely love this kid!Yes he found his thumb!and againand yes again...The closest we could get to getting a picture of him smiling!His first real bath and he loves them! He does however not like being naked, putting on lotion, or changing his diaper!Chillin' on the couch while mom did some housework!Sleepin' with dad!Handsome Man!and trying to find his thumb!Mom and Carter-ManThis kid is fun! He hit 2 weeks old on Saturday and we can't believe how fast time is going!

So a little info on Carter at 2 Weeks!

He LOVES... to be held, to grunt (Seriously it is the funniest thing! He grunts all the time!), to be fully clothed, sleeping

He DISLIKES... getting his diaper changed, being naked, sleeping in his crib, getting lotion put on after the bath

Carter McKay Jones

Born Saturday, March 12, 2011 @ 8:37 p.m.

Weighing 7 lbs. 10 oz. and a good 19 1/2 in. long

They called us in Saturday morning to start the induction... I was in labor for 13 hours and finally our little angel came out! He got stuck at a 3 and an 8 for a long time because he was stuck on my pelvis bone and wouldn't turn to get into position so he came out with a good old bruised and very swollen head but it went down very quickly and now just has a little bruising and swelling left. He is the sweetest kid has been so good and we can't get enough of him!

Me right before we got to the hospital at 37 weeks and 6 days pregnant!The proud daddy!Loving the water over his head... I am sure it felt great on his battle wound!Going to give mommy kisses!One day old... Coming home from the Hospital and he isn't so sure about the carseat... but actually does really well!

Dad and Carter finally able to relax at home! A Very HAPPY Dad!

Mom and Carter taking a nap after the long weekend!

2 days old!

First sponge bath and not a fan of them at all!

4 days old and getting ready to visit the doctor and to check his bili!

After the results came back on Wednesday his bili number was way high so we were admitted to the hospital and he was put on lights for 24 hours... it was the saddest thing ever! He was poked way to many times in the heel had an IV which took three times to get... mainly because he kept tearing it out and had his blood drawn from his arm I felt so bad that I couldn't do anything! But Thursday night he was finally able to come home... again!

Carter on the lights!He would only hold still on his stomach and he got to wear a cool sunglasses/hat!5 days old and getting ready to leave the hospital!6 days old and watching March Madnees with dad on the couch!He gives the silliest faces and I just love this pic so I thought I'd throw it in there!1 Week old and a Very Big RASCAL!We are so happy he is here and that big sister was kind enough to send him to us! We love him so much and can't imagine life without him! He is our pride and joy!

Love you Carter and happy you are here healthy and happy!

Recently...

Well life has kept us busy and anxiously awaiting little baby Jones! McKay is still plugging away at school and training... while I go to work and find things to do so I don't go crazy! We are waiting to hear back on a few internships McKay has applied for and hope to hear back by the end of March! So we are crossing our fingers he gets one!

The little squirt is doing good! Movement has been so-so but they have been monitoring me at my appointments and says everything is looking great! He is running out of room, so it's a good thing we are near the end!

Here is me at 37 weeks!

Other than that we have been pretty boring people! Hope all is well with everyone else!

Update on Baby Boy Jones

Well as you can tell still no name has been decided! We are having the hardest time... but I won't let us leave the hospital without one so we better get thinking!

-He is not as active as he used to be so we have been keeping an extra good eye on him!

-I have been hooked up on the monitors a few times and today I had an ultrasound just to assure us everything is looking good! So far so good but we are still being very cautious!

-He does not like anyone to feel him, he likes to be in my ribs and my hip bones which is great since that means he is moving!

-We are on the countdown and are getting so excited we just hope that this RSV season goes away and fast!
Here are some of the cutest pics from today's ultrasound!

His face with his fist on his forehead! He is so cute already!

He is giving us the pouty lips!

Suggestions! PLEASE!!!

So I have been thinking about getting a new camera... I have no idea what to get! So if any of you have some great advice or know anything about cameras give me your input... it would be very helpful and needed!

Grandpa Ferguson!

For those that might not know my grandpa died this week and I have had him on my mind quite a bit! He was a great guy the BEST Grandpa a girl could ask for! I knew my grandpa very well... my family lived with him from the time a I was a little squirt to about the time I turned 12 then I lived with him the first 2 years out of high school as I attended college and then McKay and I lived with them for a summer as we transitioned from St. George up to Enterprise! So I can safely say I saw a side of him that not all got to see!
