Carter was born January 9, 2008 at 7:31 pm via c-section. It was a long day and we were so happy he was finally here. We eventually adjusted to life with a newborn, it took some practice but we got there. Once we adjusted to life with a newborn we got to experience life with an infant. And let me just say, I love every minute of it! From the first bite of rice cereal to him picking up his food and playing in it last night for dad, its been great. His first bath was when he was only about 2 weeks old, his umbilical cord had already fallen off and I decided, lets try out the nice tub. Carter HATED it, he screamed and cried the whole time and has only just at about 5 months of age started to really enjoy his bath. Sleep is something that was cherished and unfamiliar in our household until Carter reached about 4 months of age, that is when we started to feed him some rice cereal with his last bottle as well as in the morning. I know that its just a wive's tale but it worked for us! Sometimes Carter doesn't wake until about 9am and since I work evenings this is awesome for me. I think Drew and my relationship has grown stronger since we have become parents and when we are tired and cranky we just realize the other person is probably feeling a lot of the same.
To answer the question, yes we are planning to have another child, we just want to allow Carter some time to be a baby before he has to be a big brother.
