Carter is ready for Game Day(I embroidered the onesie --thanks, Maura, for the lesson!)
Carter and I were able to come home from the hospital on Thursday afternoon. Carter is such an amazing blessing and responsibility that God has given to us! We look at him constantly and can't believe that he is finally here after the waiting and eager anticipation. Nick and I are slowly, but surely getting used to "real" life with Carter--life without a full time staff dedicated to helping us manage everything! A huge thanks to Carter's Bamma (my mom) who has been staying in Indy with us since he was born on Monday. It has been a tremendous blessing to have her here--helping take care of the pets and the house, visiting and running errands when we were in the hospital and helping us transition from the hospital to home. He loves hanging out with and loving on her and can't wait to meet the rest of his extended family in a few weeks.

Wrigley checking out Carter--she loves to smell him!
Wrigley is being a great "big sis" to our little man. She always wants to sniff and see what is going on with him, but she is always gentle with him. Dontrelle is just mad that his favorite room in the house is now occupied, so he has been spending more time outside.
Carter with Cindy, Maddie and Mia Todd
We have been so fortunate to have many friends come by and visit so that we could introduce them to Carter. He has loved all the attention (he probably gets that from his mom!), and usually stays up at night telling us all about how much he loves it!

Megan Todd and Carter (Megan and Carter were due on the same day, but Megan was born on July 30; Carter on August 27--almost a month apart!)
Please check out the following link for some pictures of our last full day in the hospital and of his arrival at home for the first time. I will also put the link over on the right side of the page under Friends' Blogs and Other Sites so that, if you want, you can periodically check to see if we have added new albums.

Carter, it is quite evident that your Bamma LOVES taking pictures of you! I hope that I get the same opportunity in the near future. I can't wait to see you and your Mommy and Daddy VERY soon! I love you!
