Mothers Day



Hello from new mothers land! After the first week of being a mom I have come up with a few thoughts I would like to share. First and foremost babies are so fun! I know that most of what they do is sleep but I can't get enough of Sydney. I could just hold her and look at her for hours and hours and be content. Second. It is only after you are a parent that you think things like burping and boogers are cute. I shuffled outside after using the booger sucker thing for the first time to tell Nick about the adult size booger I had just sucked out of her nose. How strange is that? Third. C-sections are hard to get over. WOW!! Painful. But I am getting stronger every day. I was excited today because it was the first time I have had to face stairs and it didn't hurt to bad. So woohoo!! Another thing about being a mom. I have now realized how much like my mom I am. SO thanks mom for showing me how to do all the things I need to in order to take care of my little angel. I have never been someone who was ga ga for babies but somehow I know how to do almost everything. It may be scary but I can do it. For instance the first bath. I was screaming on the inside the whole time but Nick and I made it through without to much trouble. Everyday has been a new adventure. Our next big one is the day the umbilical cord falls off. Yikes!

Also I would like to thank everyone who has helped out with all this new baby stuff. I know we could not have made it through all of this if it had not been for all of your support. Basically I am saying I have the BEST FAMILY AND FRIENDS EVER!!

All our love,

Carri, Nick and Sydney
