Carter Jace Evans

Monday November 30th Carter Jace Evans arrived at 8:29pm. I was scheduled to be induced that morning and by 8:30am they had broken my water and started me on pitocin about an hour later. It look me hours to dilate from a 3 to a 4 but once I did I got my epidural and everything was a breeze from that point. I dilated from a 6 to a 10 in about an hour and a half, pushed for a short time and Carter was here. He made labor real easy on me which made him even more lovable once I saw his sweet face. He was 6lbs 2 oz and 19.5 inches. He is absolutely perfect and TINY! None of his clothes fit, newborn are too big, but he is too tall for premie. I am hoping I can pack some pounds onto him because is just the skinniest baby I have ever seen!! I love him more and more every minute and love spending all day and night with him. I feel a lot closer to skyler through everything too, he was amazing all through the labor process and has been the best support to me and loves being a daddy. [He got a really bad infection in his tooth and gums the day before I went into labor and was a champ through the whole thing! He has a lump in his cheek the size of a baseball so he can't smile and I feel so sad because I want to take a thousand pictures of him and Carter! Hopefully the antibiotics he is on right now will help!] Carter has night and day confused right but I am a sucker of a mommy and just cuddle him all night because he wont let me put him down! I love everything about being a mommy!!

I am so so happy for you and Skyler. (And your mom!) You are the sweetest mommy on the planet and I hope to be like you some day. Really, there is nothing more motivating to be a better mom than watching a brand new one.

He is precious!
