Worth the wait!!!

Caleb James Carter finally joined us on March 28th at 9:07pm. As many of you know I was very ready, overly ready to meet this little man and in the end it was well worth the wait! Labor was super quick with this little guy (especially when I compare it to my 26 hour labor with Emily). We arrived at the hospital around 6:30pm, I started pushing at 9:02pm and 5 min later we were introduced to the most beautiful little boy! Here are a few pictures of our stay at the hospital.

This picture was taken in the delivery room soon after Caleb was born.

Emily meets Caleb and holds him for the first time. She was a proud big sister!

This was a family shot before we left the hospital!

Emily found fun and interesting ways to entertain herself and us during her visits! She became a quick favorite of all the nurses.

Me and my beautiful babies!

So a few days before Caleb came we finally installed his car seat. I think this was a big realization for us that, YES we are parents of 2 children! Every time I see the 2 car seats it hits me and I still can't believe it!

Emily helped out a lot and took all of our calls at the hospital so we wouldn't have to worry. (note the "phone" is the remote to the TV)

My men all dressed up in their Tuxedo Shirts! HANDSOME!!!

One last pre-Caleb post!

Joel and Emmy were able to spend some quality time together before Caleb came and I got in as many hugs and kisses as possible. We also bought a new double stroller and put it together so we were ready to roll as soon as Caleb was born!

Waiting, waiting, waiting

As we all wait patiently for Baby Caleb to come we are keeping busy walking, gardening, eating spicy foods, napping, playing in the dirt, looking at the clouds, walking, cooking, shopping, and did I mention we have done a lot of walking! Here are a few pictures of Emmy keeping busy with Nanet and mommy sitting and watching.

Just a thought...

Sometimes I wonder why I even owned a camera before Emily was born! I should probably change the blog name to justemily.blogspot but I am sure soon enough it would have to be changed to emilyandcaleb.blogspot - sorry jkandscout!

Daffodils and Sunshine!

Emmy loves picking flowers. Luckily we have a few in our yard - at least until she picks them all!

Strick a pose

Harmonica Solo

Emmy is a musical genius! Here is her latest musical solo.

P.S. for those of you who actually read and follow our blog enjoy the many posts now because once baby Caleb comes it might be awhile, until then enjoy!

Hanging tight...

So, in my mind I thought baby Caleb would be here by now BUT I am not in control (thankfully) and God has other plans. So to keep busy Emmy and I have spent a lot of time outside. Fortunately the weather has been amazing! Here are a few pictures from our outdoor adventures!

This is what I am looking like these days!

We walked to the grocery store and bough yogurt pops. Emmy was in love. Below is the before picture and above is After. We jumped in the tub as soon as we got home!

Chillin' in her shades!

Lots of time at the park
