Carter Emmett arrived May 7th, 2011.
He was 6 lbs, 8oz and 19 3/4" long. We had a very fast labor and he knew he was ready to grace us with his presence sooner rather than later. He arrived 10 days early and his timing was perfect. I was having light contractions as I slept on Friday night and was hoping that this could be a good sign of things to come. Then my water broke Saturday morning at 9am and after cleaning the house up (so we didn't come home to a messy house), showering, then dropping Team RK off at a friends house we were off to the hospital. We checked in at 12:15pm. Carter arrived at 3:27pm. Talk about quick! He sure made it easy to hold off on getting an epidural which was our hope from the beginning.
He checked out great at the hospital and didn't need any special treatment at all. He was able to breastfeed right away and did a great job! He just made us so proud in every way.
Here he is with his daddy. His very first father/son picture.
Less than one hour old.
And a few from the last few days that I just adore.
Sleeping in the hospital:
Ready to leave the hospital in his brand new car seat! Just look at how tiny he is....

He loves to sleep with his hands up by his face:
See?

No more pictures mom!
I guess we will have to end there! :)
