3 Weeks.....almost

Tomorrow is Carter's 3 week birthday - wow, I can't believe he has been with us that long! I would have waited to post until tomorrow but wanted to tell everyone about his doctor's appointment today.

Carter had a apt to check his weight and he is up to 9lbs 9.3 oz! When he left the hospital he was 8lb 5 oz.....so he has gained over 1lb! Good Job, Carter! I was not surprised though....b/c our son loooves to eat!

Also, he has been doing pretty well at the sleeping thing....he normally has at least 1 4 hour stretch during the night....but now that I said that I am sure he'll be up every 2 hours tonight :-P

Here are some pics from the last few days.....enjoy!

Happy 2 Week Birthday, Carter!

I can't believe it has been 14 days since Carter man was born!

He is going to celebrate by hanging out with Mommy and Daddy and possibly meeting his Aunt Ashley for the 1st time!

Here are some pics of his first real bath! He actually quite liked it!

2 Weeks ago

In case some of you don't know....just about 2 weeks ago the Phillies had an amazing parade celebrating their World Series win! There were massive crowds and it ended at a packed CBP. Yes, I was only 3 days shy of being 40 weeks pregnant but there was no way I was missing this parade....there hadn't been one in my lifetime and who knows when the next one will be.

Little did I know that just 3 hours after arriving home....my water would break. Carter gave me the best present and let his Mommy enjoy the Phillies win!!

Here are some of the last pregnant pictures of me....and an updated one from today. No more baby bump. Down 28lbs already. 20 to go.

We'll enough about me. Carter met up with some friends at the mall today - specifically Caleb McNally - Carter can't wait to actually be able to play with him! Here are some cute pics of from today :-)

Tuesday

Nothing too exciting to report today - Carter had his newborn pictures taken in our house by the wonderful Amy Ro Photography http://amyrophotography.blogspot.com/. He was very well behaved...except the whole pooping on the photographer's blanket thing...and we got some really cool shots - A sneak peek will be on her blog in the next few days.

Richard went back to work and Gram came to spend the rest of the day with us. The 3 of us ventured to the food store...this was Carter's first real trip to a public place...he slept through the adventure and I was terrified the whole time - Not sure what I thought was going to happen...but might not going anywhere that crowded again so soon!

Here are some pics from the last few days. Enjoy!

Carter's first walk.

My 2 favorite Boys - Carter and his Daddy

1 Week Old!

I can't believe it...Carter was 1 week old yesterday.

All 3 of us made it home from the hospital last Tuesday...and all are a little tired but otherwise doing really well. Carter had his 1st pediatrician visit on Thursday. He was 8lbs 10oz (up from 8lbs 5oz when we left the hospital). His cone head as also gone down so he is now 20-1/2 inches (lol yes he shrunk by 1-1/2" - that was a big cone head!).

Carter is loving all of the attention and is getting used to the constant photo shoot that has been taking place at 152. Hopefully we will have some of those pics posted soon.

We will be welcoming visitors soon - Looking forward to introducing you all to our little one. Send Juls an email (phone calls might wake a sleeping Mommy or Carter) and we can set up a good day/time.

Here are some from Carter's 1st week :-) Check the Picassa site for more later on.

Carter and his Gram

Welcome Carter William Galbraith

After thirteen hours of labor, Carter was finally born by c-section at a solid 9lbs 2oz and 22 inches long! Grandpop guessed the correct weight and length but missed the delivery date. Mommy apparently knew this ahead of time, suggesting the game was probably rigged, as she guessed November 1st spot on!

We'll be in the hospital until Tuesday so give us a call if you want to stop in and see the little kiwi!

Here is a picture for you to enjoy in the meantime. We will add more after we get a bit of sleep :)
