Like Father...like Son

Carter's first Mother's Day started out great, we were eating well:
This got us a little milk drunk:
We had a bath to look good for Mom:
and did some serious sleeping waiting to go home...
Unfortunately, Carter seems to have started his life out following his father a bit to literally, and a bit too early. His dad was born 6 weeks early and had to stay in the hospital for 11 days post birth getting over his jaundice and premature issues. Like his dad, Carter arrived to us about 3 weeks early and had been measuring about a week small during his gestation. This has caused Carter to struggle maintaining his internal body temp and has a slight irregular breathing rhythm. So, back to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. To make sure we know exactly what is going on, we had a fun afternoon of CAT Scans, ultra sounds, etc...
The good news is all Carter's tests have come back either negative, or normal... He just was so excited to see Mom for Mother's Day that he came to meet us all a bit early. Hopefully we can go home in the next few days which will make Mom a much happier lady.
