Two Weeks Old

Where have the last 14 15 days gone? People weren't kidding that sleep deprivation plays a huge part in the beginning but somehow we're making it through and enjoying (most) every moment! Carter really is such an angel and I thank God every night when I tuck him into bed that we were given the opportunity to be his parents. What an incredible feeling to look down at this little man and know that he was created especially for us. I couldn't imagine a more perfect and precious gift.

At two weeks old Carter has already changed a lot! He is slowly settling into a more predictable feeding routine and has lot more moments of awake/alert time before going back to sleep. His umbilical cord also fell off today yesterday while we were at the pediatrician and even though his belly button isn't completely healed, it's nice to not have to work around it anymore! At his check up we found out all about how he is growing:

• Height- 22.25 inches/ 93 percentile (up from 20.5in/78%ile)
• Weight- 9 lbs 6 oz/ 67 percentile (up from 8lb 10oz/77%ile)
• Head- 15.25 inches/ 83 percentile (up from 14.33in/ 62%ile)

Loading up to go to the doctor all by ourselves!

So according to the doctor we will have a tall boy on our hands! I am amazed how quickly he reached and then surpassed his birth weight and that he's gotten more than an inch taller in just fourteen days! Time really does fly and we're trying our best to soak it all in and make some awesome memories!

Going to the doctor is exhausting!

We both had a good nap afterward!
