BIG boy!

Well, we have a BIG ole boy on our hands!! Carter weighs 17 pounds, 4 oz!! (90th percentile!) He is 24 3/4 inches long (50th percentile!) and definitely TEETHING. They said his little gums were very swollen, but that it could take a few months for that tooth to break. UGH. NOT excited about that part!! He looked in his eyes and believes he will definitely be a blue eyed baby!! He didn't see any brown flecks in them! YAYAYAYAYAY! :)
I love my pediatrician. He is so sweet and always has a fit over Carter. I heard him tell the nurse in the hall, "That Carter is SO cute!" Made my day. Even though I already think he's the cutest thing ever! :) HAHA. :)
Poor baby had to have 3 shots and an oral vaccine. Sweet boy only cried for 2 seconds and then stopped. He was pretty fussy yesterday, so we just cuddled most of the day yesterday.

I don't think I tell Jon just how much I appreciate the sacrifices we have made in order for me to stay home with Carter. I LOVE it. There is NOTHING I have ever waned to do more than be a mommy. There are definitely days that are harder (and YES-I KNOW THEY WILL GET HARDER!), but I wouldn't trade them for anything. So to Jon: Thank you for allowing me to stay home. You don't know how much it means to me! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!
