Day Fifteen.

Sooo, I've already told you this but I'm telling you again because I'm so dang excited.. Carter went 4 hours between feedings for the very first time ever last night. Woo hoo for him. We also pulled out his little umbrella stroller, which is still a little too big for him, and we went for a mini walk. By mini I mean to where we always see lightening bugs and back! It was too hot, but Carter loved seeing everything! We also went in the rain to take some pictures for Rachael for her shower. That was pretty fun carrying a baby around in a sling in the middle of a field!! He feel right to sleep though. I made a late night trip to target to get a shirt that I've been wanting because I had a coupon that expired today! Well, the days are ticking. Only 178 more to go!! We love you baby!!!

Day Fourteen.

Well today Carter turned 8 weeks old. Time is flying by! Every week that I post his weekly picture I always flip back to week one and I'm always amazed at how much he's grown. We went to the fabric store to buy some more material and then Rachael and I picked up some Waffle House and came back to the house for Carter's photoshoot! I also started my Etsy shop today even though I have nothing to put inside it.. YET! Im going to attemp a few more times to make my own graphics for the shop but we'll see where that goes. I may end up needing to hire a pro! Carter hasnt really let me put him down all day.. Im thinking he may have a tummy ache. He's actually crying as i write this. Im trying my best to not pick him up. This is really hard. I gave him gripe water but apparently he's still a gripin'! lol Well I miss you SO much it's unreal. Not only do I miss your sweet self, I miss help. It's pretty hard doing all this on my own. I dont know how single moms work take care of their kids and go to school? Id absolutely go insane. Actually after today I think I am insane. But Im okay with that. I love you so much babe. Hope you have a good day, or night, not sure when youre reading this. XoXo

Day Thirteen.

Wooah are we really already in the teens? Next thing ya know we'll be in the twenties, then forties, then hundreds!!! So I did it, I took the plunge and bought the jewlrey kit. I was so nervous but with a little pep talk from you I was able to click purchase! I'm so excited to start. I can't wait to learn how to do this. We rented Rango the lizard movie today. It was pretty cute. I also listened to Jersey Shore. I need to go back and actually watch it this time!! Well I hope you got some rest, you sounded pretty tired tonight. We love you with all our hearts!

Day Twelve.

Today we went to Michaels and to Quiznos. It was the first time I've eaten there since the day before Carter was born! Then we got to talk to you! I love getting to see your face. And Carter loves it too! Can't wait to hear from you again. We love you!!!

Day Eleven.

Today I got alot done thanks to Liz. She came over to watch Carter while I did a few things around the house. I also was able to send out your care package! I'm missing you alot tonight. I cant wait to be in your arms again. I love you baby. So very much. P.s. Don't you think he's out growing his bed? lol Looks like we'll be taking a trip to Babies r us soon!

Day Ten.

Woo hoo.. Were in double digits, 10 days down!! I miss you more and more every day. I wish we could just pack up and see you! Its like that song "If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away" except it's if Afganistan wasn't so far away, I'd pack up Carter and go for the day! Well anywho, Carter is a pro at holding his own head up so today we took a picture to remember. I figure if we take a picture with how old he is written in it we wont ever forget his "firsts". Today we ran around getting a few things for your care package.. Then I saw how tiny the boxes were. Wow, how can i fit anything in there? I may have to wait to send you a towel. Im sure you can work with 3 for now! Well tomorrow were going to drop Rachaels car off at the shop then go mail off your box so be looking out for it.. in 2 weeks! Dang snail mail! Well we love you from the tip of our toes to the farthest star in the sky! Oh p.s. JP WON! (;

Day Nine.

Hey baby. Well I dont have much to write about. Carter and I stayed home all day. I was a meanie and took hin outside to take some pictures. Just like you he squinted the entire time so I barely got any good shots. I need to find him some baby sunglasses! Oh, and I'm sad to say but Carter has pretty much grown out of his vibrating bed. His feet touch the end of the bed and his head is at the tippy top. I'm not sure what I'm going to do because this boy won't sleep for more than an hour unless he's sleeping on something that vibrates. Off to babies r us we go! Well we love you bunches. Hope you're getting some sleep right now. XoXo
