Carter has arrived!

These were taken a few days before Carter's arrival - - I gained a lot, 

but in a healthy way!  

I continued working out as often as I could, but as you can see I had a HUGE belly!!

39 Weeks Prego-

Carter made his grand entrance on July 16th- weighing in at 8 lb's, 7 oz's, and 21.25" long, he was healthy & big!

Right after he was born!

He is now 3 weeks old, and we can't imagine life without him in it!  He's doing great, starting to sleep better and he is nursing well!  I had to cut out dairy products, but once we got that figured out he has been feeling much better!

Here are a few pictures from the past 3 weeks - we are all so in love with the new member of the family!

Hanging out with his daddy!

We are all doing really well!  I started working out (slowly to start!) and eating healthy- working my way back to my pre-prego weight!  I am working on doing that in a healthy way because I don't want it to effect Carter or his food supply!  I'm over halfway there - I'll try to keep this updated with progress reports!

A BIG THANK YOU to all of our amazing friends & family, and my awesome clients!  We appreciate all of the kind gifts, calls, cards, rides for my daughter to cheer practice, & food that you guys have provided!!  

Jen, Pat & family :)
