Carter

After 11 days in the NICU Carter was finally able to come home! It is a relief to not be going back and forth from the hospital all the time, but it sure has been an adjustment since we've come home. Especially adjusting to somewhat sleepless night. The first night he was home I hardly slept because I was so nervous about his breathing and whether or not he was warm enough and wanting to make sure he ate enough. However, after going to visit his pediatrician on Friday he made me feel better about Carter's eating. One thing that drives me crazy with nursing my babies is that I can never tell how much they are eating. I guess I just need to relax and know that when they're done, they stop eating (unlike most of us adults). He's been doing really well at home, though. We are not having any visitor's for at least the first two weeks while he is home and we have been told not to take him out in public for three months. Deacon has also adjusted well to his baby brother. Every time Carter makes a noise Deacon giggles and giggles. He tries to give Carter his binky (Carter isn't nearly as in to his binky as Deacon was, at least not yet). He likes to pet Carter's head and we have to watch him or he'd probably try to pick him up as well. There have been a few moments of jealousy on Deacon's part and Deacon is in his terrible two stage, but for the most part it's been going pretty well. Here are some photos of the last few days. Our relief society president brought Deacon a present when she brought us dinner-his present included flip flops. Once he got them on he didn't want to take them off and walked around in his diaper and flip flops half the night.
