A new journey...

Well now that you overseas i thought i would keep a diary of what is going on each day so that you can be a part of our journey...Carter's 1st days!

Wed September 24th-
Today was a good day. We slept great last night...only woke up to eat and then went right back to bed! The bigger news was that we had 4 poopy diapers...and gained 2 oz from the day before. We went and saw the lactation consultant and she put us on a eating schedule till next monday...hoping that are milk supply will go up and that Carter will start to put on some weight.
Although the lactation consultants are a little intense...we are happy they are willing to help us through these 1st week weeks of feeding.

We were lucky to have Jennie here this week. She stayed w/Carter and myself and helped us through feedings, diaper changes, and lactation meetings! On top of that she made a bunch of frozen meals(lasagna, stuffed peppers, chili) so that I would have lunches and dinners these next couple weeks.

This evening we went over to Shane and Lisa's for dinner. It was delicious!! Chicken, green bean casserole and angel food cake for desert.(tanner help make it) It was fun to see Parker and Carter sit right next to each other. Parker is about 3 pounds larger...wow what a couple weeks in age will do!! Parker even borrowed all his newborn size outfits..because he has out grown them!

That's all for tonight!

love,
Danielle and Carter
