We're Getting So Close!

I was looking through the pictures from when Carson was born and his first couple of days home, and it brings back such sweet memories. I know this picture is of myself, but I really love it. Travis was taking pictures of everything at the hospital. I remember that exact moment. I had literally, JUST had Carson and he was getting cleaned off. Obviously, the pain was gone (thank you Mr. Epidural) and he had come out safely and he was healthy. He was a little bit skinny and I remember the doctor saying, "You need to feed this kid some meat and potatoes." It took about 1 hour and our family had just grown! So in this picture I am just waiting for him to be handed back to me all bundled up. We took our first family picture right after this. I just can't explain all of the feelings and emotions but just seeing this picture brings them all back.
When we first got home from the hospital we let Carson sleep in his bouncer. He was just so little, the strap takes up his whole body. And the pacifier looks so big. That same bouncer is ready for the baby right now and I just can't believe how little they are at first.

This was a shirt(onesie) that I borrowed from my sister. I remember when I was packing my hospital bag, I had no clue what to put in there because I just didn't know what would fit him. This was, by far, the smallest thing we had and it was so baggy on him. Amazingly the normal size newborn sock things were too small! He had to curl his toes for them to fit. He still has big feet.
And he was so sweet just falling asleep all of the time. He fell asleep while his Daddy was burping him. The newborn diaper goes halfway up his back.

I just can't believe how little he was. He was so cute and sweet from day 1. Now he is becoming more and more cuddly, in his own way. And he just makes me smile. I love him so much. There is no doubt in my mind that there will be more room in my heart to love this next baby just as much. I know that Heavenly Father plans for that. We are getting so excited to see Carson's little brother. We hope and pray that things go well. I hope that this baby is bigger than Carson was. And if he looks just like his dad too, I will be perfectly happy! I can't believe we only have 16 more days!
