a little late

I thought I would post some pictures of my kiddos on Halloween. This year we had a ninja, a butterfly, a witch, and a newborn. The parents of the newborn couldn't decide on a custom for him.

Carter is 5 weeks old and he is doing great. I thought I would post some pictures of him and all of his cuteness. look how good Carter is at holding his head up when he does tummy time.

Carter

Carter was born on October 1st, weighing in at 6lbs 15oz and was 20in long. He spent 12 days in the NICU and is at home with his family finally and doing very well. He was born way to fast and had fluid on his lungs because of it, which was the original reason he was sent to the NICU. The people in the NICU gave him some oxygen for maybe a day and some antibiotics through an IV for a couple of days. He spent most of his time in the NICU because he couldn't eat fast enough, which is due to mom being gest diabetic. A requirement to leave the NICU is the baby has to eat atleast 50ml in 20 minutes. Babies born to mothers who had gest diabetes eat slower than normal babies.





the right foot has his oxygen reader on it and the left foot has his IV in it, you can't really see the IV the nurses had it covered so the other foot doesn't kick at it and pull the IV out.

Carter's Home

Here are some pictures of Carter's current home, I am 35 weeks along with Carter. I am due on Oct. 18Th, but Dr. is ok with him coming Oct. 1st. Really started liking my Dr. a lot after she agreed to go ahead and induce on October first. The one good thing that comes from being gestational diabetic is, you don't have to wait until after your due date to get induced.
