Our first 24 hours as a family at home have been wonderful. Carter has been awake a lot taking in the scenery and all of his new stuff like bouncers, a boppy, and a new bassinet. He was up most of the night so Katie stayed awake with him from 2 a.m.-5 a.m. and I slept, then when Katie came in at 5 a.m. I got up and let her sleep until 9 a.m. He has slept a little throughout today and is doing well with his feedings. Marley (the cat) has been interested but has kept his distance and Carter has yet to realize he exists. Katie and I have absolutely loved finally being able to be a family together. We are cherishing every second of every minute of every hour of the day as I know we will forever and always. The nursery is complete and I promised some pictures of my artwork but first take a look at what the hospital gave us yesterday. It is a comparison of his birth footprints and his discharge footprints. So very cool!!!
You did a great job painting the animals, Matt! Carter will enjoy looking at them before he falls asleep. Who knows, maybe when he gets older he will try to color the animals, like Katie did with her animal wallpaper!

Thanks. That's funny Katie has mentioned her coloring skills. Hopefully I can teach him how to draw his own animals lol.
DeleteCongratulations!!!! again to your family.. Carter is truly a miracle and will continue to provide your family with much Joy and Love. He's so fortunate to have you as parents.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, we are so lucky to be his parents. He makes us proud everyday!
DeleteOnce again your talents amaze me, Matt. Carter's room is beautiful. You should start a high end decorating business catering to the rich and famous. Of course you'd have to re-locate to South Beach...LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks I really enjoy it. Maybe they could just fly me in their private jets back and forth to create their rooms. With your back ground you could create creative lighting solutions and interactive walls. hhhmmmm I think we're onto something here lol.
DeleteYou are wonderful parents & carter is so lucky he was blessed with the 2 of you! Congratulations on a safe journey home! You need to ask ty pennington(home makeover) for a job! Seriously beautiful work! He is so lucky!
