Welcome!!!

Everyone has kept getting onto me to start a blog, well I guess I finally caved in so here it is! I am still learning how to use this site, but I will try my best to keep you up to date on what is going on with the Carson family.

Baby Crew is here!! He was born at 10:34 am on 8/21/2009 weighing 6 lbs 10 oz, 19 inches long. I think the whole day was a complete blur for me! My water broke at 1 am and I was in complete shock since Crew wasn't due for 3 more weeks and I had this feeling he was even going to be late. Based on that I did not have anything ready- Brett and I were running around the house packing my bag and throwing things into the car. When we finally got to the hospital I was only 1 cm dialated to I knew we would be there for awhile before Crew made his appearance. After a little bit I got some pain medicine and slept for 3 hours. When I woke up I decided it was time for me to get my epidural since I was 4 cm. Not an hour after that I was 9 1/2 cm and baby Crew was on his way!!! The nurses were running in and out bringing in everything for delivery- I pushed for 10 minutes and baby Crew was here!!
Words can't even describe the emotions felt that day as they layed baby Crew on my chest and I watched Brett cut the umbilical cord. Wow, God really is amazing and this whole experience is such a miracle! After endless prayers and worries, Crew was absolutely PERFECT!! We just kept staring at him and could not get enough!!

It has now been almost a month since Crew has been born and I can't believe how fast the time has flown by. Crew is doing absolutely wonderful and is just the perfect baby. He sleeps for about 5 hours at a time at night so I can't complain about that. He is also beginning to show more personality and smile at us, reach for things, and kick his feet. We do have to be careful on those diaper changes, I am sure learning how to change a diaper fast- I have gotten sprayed one too many times already! Boys oh Boys!!

I will try to keep this as up to date as much as a new mom can so you can all follow us. I also created a shutterfly share site that I am contantly updating with pics so I will post that link on here as well.
