Random Tidbits:

*Hayden makes us laugh more and more everyday. ex. Mommy says "Hayden when did you get that lure?" Hayden responds "Mom, I've had it for YEARS!"
*Hayden wants to be just like his daddy. Last week he got up and picked out his clothes, choosing a striped polo and brown cargo shorts. Basically Jason's unofficial uniform, he always is wearing that in the summer at home.
*Hayden however still wants to snuggle his mom at bedtime and quiet time. Mommy also is the one who still can make owies better.
*Hayden loves to help, especially with his little brother!
*Carson was born on Jason and I's 7 year dating anniversary. Yes we've been together for 7 years!
*Carson was also born on my Grandma and Grandpa Moe's 65 wedding anniversary.
*Carson is so strong for a newborn! He has great control over that little neck of his.
*Carson's newest nickname is "Hot Dog". He looks just like a hot dog when he is naked, long, skinny and nude color! Hopefully Mommy will stop calling him this before he goes to school!
*Hayden and Carson got to see all their Great Grandma's this weekend, at different random times!
*We have the cutest baby bunny living under our shed.
*Video Baby Monitors are the greatest thing ever invented!

Carson is 2 weeks today! He is still a good baby, but he has had a couple fussy episodes. Last night I gave him a little formula while we were at my work baby shower(so awesome!) and then when we got home he wanted to eat again and boy was that a bad combination. Just a half hour of off and on crying. He isn't very loud thank goodness!

Hayden has been loving the weather and been able to go golfing, bike rides, and multiple trips to the park. He is in little boy heaven! He would do anything to be outside all the time. He is going to "his cabin" tomorrow night and fishing tomorrow in Barnes. Jason is just as excited to go fishing as Hayden is maybe even more!

I'm so excited its Memorial day weekend, that means we will see nice weather soon, hopefully! We've been teased with nice weather and then the next day being in the 30's, its so cruel! We are planning a couple little vacations throughout the summer. Our first being Cragun's in June. We are planning on bring the boat up with us, we've never done that before. Jason wants to explore Gull Lake and probably get a little fishing done. He also is going to golf either the Legacy or Madden's which has a 5star rating, he probably would rather do Madden's! I can't wait to sit on the beach and on the pool deck!

Enjoy your weekend!

I can't believe Carson has been here over a week now, its crazy. Hayden is doing just awesome, we haven't had any real bad behavior and he loves his brother sooo much, its sweet. He talks to Carson in a goofy high pitched voice and loves to give him kisses.
Carson is a great baby, so far...I'm waiting a little bit longer to make a definite decision! Last night he ate at 11:45, 3:00 and 6:30. Which works out great because I just wait to go to bed until the 11 feeding and then go back to sleep after the morning one, i like to sleep in, even just a little bit! He loves to be swaddled tight and doesn't like pajamas with feet. I love the nightgowns for babies and he does to. He is very into this "buffy" (pacifier) just like Hayden was. He rarely cries only when he is hungry or lost is buffy. We are so in love! Its great to have an addition to our family.
We both went to the doctor on Friday and Carson is back up to 8.4 from 7.13 when we left the hospital and the nurse/lactation consultant said he was perfect, and we were doing everything right, whew! My doctor said my incision was doing great but gave me some stronger cream for my allergic reaction. And then on Friday night i discovered a rash all over my body and it itched like crazy...allergic reaction to my antibiotic but since my incision should no signs on infection and was doing good I don't have to go on another one, thank goodness!
Make sure and look at Carson's Album on the right sidebar too! I've been busy taking pictures of my little Monkey!

We are home and doing well. Carson is such a good baby so far! I have an allergic reaction to the steri strips so i am itchy and kinda blah. But other than that doing good. We actually stayed another night in the hospital because of my rash and my doctor, came every day to look at it and make sure it was okay. I also saw a "Wound Specialist" who said she had seen a lot worst and it was an allergic reaction not an infection so thats good too! I'm on a high dose of antibiotics just in case too.

Hayden is an awesome big brother and adjusting perfectly, its like Carson has always been here. He likes to help and gives lots of kisses!

Jason has been busy, busy with work this week it will be nice after today he'll be home for 2.5 straight days to take care of us! Poor guy has to take care of my "wound" because i can't see it. He's a good guy!

I'm sure to update on Friday! Carson will go in to for a little check up at the hospital nursery and I have to meet with my doctor too.

All is well with Carson and I. My C section went awesome and I feel even better today. I was up and sitting/standing on Friday night and moving all around today! My doctor was impressed and said I can go home tomorrow instead of Monday if everything continues to do well. My epidural was one of the weiredest things i've ever had! Mine happen to work even better than most and it didn't wear off until 2:00, not fully until evening! Because of this i had to be in recovery for over 2 hours, which kind of sucked but Jason took good care of Carson! My legs ached because they thought they were bent, thats how they were when they put the epi in, so my brain must of thought thats the way they still were, it was crazy! Hayden and my mom were waiting for me when I returned to my room. They brought me some beautiful flowers, that many nurses have complimented on, Exchange cake, and presents for Baby Carson. Hayden loves his baby brother! He got him a new phone toy that I am sure Carson will love for a long time.
We had all sorts of visitors to see our new beautiful boy! My Mom, Hayden, my Dad, Emily, Brandon, Emily's friend Brittany, Grandma and Grandpa Routh, Mike, Rae Ann, Michael and Laura! That was all on Friday. I didn't think I'd want many visitors on Friday but I was still numb from my epi, so I was feeling great!
Carson is a sweet little guy. He loves to snuggle his Mommy on her chest! He has a kind of bad reputation in the nursery as a crabby boy! Even our pediatrician Dr. Maria said he was a crabby boy. I find this funny because I've yet to have him fuss for too long for me! He was put in the "naughty chair" last night in the nursery and didn't like it one bit! Its some kind of chair that holds baby upright and swaddles them, then the nurses put on womb noises, yeah he didn't fall for it. So they brought him to Mommy and I put him right to sleep! Ha! He is a natural born eater! He is already doing well nursing.
We are so proud of both our beautiful sons! We are excited to bring this little guy home to join our family and every day life!
