Well November 9th Carter slept through the night for the first time!! I had to get up and pump because I thought I was going to burst. While I was pumping I thought...this isn't right, he is sleeping and i'm up pumping. As my mother in law Jan would say - it's money in your pocket when you pump! She is exactly right, the cost of formula is soooo expensive - I have banked up a ton of milk in the freezer and the more I put in there, the more time I will have til we have to buy formula. When Chuck headed to work that morning I said "Carter hasn't been up at all" and he goes "well did you check to make sure he is breathing?" I chuckled and said "of course!" He makes me laugh!
On another note we got Carter's one month pictures back and they are darling of course :). They are the pictures posted on this blog.
We had a very busy weekend last weekend. Carter got to meet more members of this very large family. He met his Aunt Brooke and cousins, Aunt Jodi and all her family. It seemed like a holiday weekend with all the family that was around. I was happy to see Monday come because I was ready to get rested up again!
Thanksgiving is right upon us and i'm realizing everything that i'm so thankful for! First and formost i'm thankful for our health, love, and family. I probably don't tell my family or chuck's enough how thankful I am for them but I truly wouldn't be the person I am today without them. Chuck has given me the 3 best things in life - love, friendship, and Carter. I am so thankful I found my soul mate to live my life with. (In high school you could've never told me I would marry him:) ) My mother and sister are truly my best friends in life and they have framed me to be the person I am today!! I couldn't imagine life without either of them!! I look at my mother-in-law and think how greatful I am to have such a caring and loving person....most people have the "dreaded" mother in law - thankfully mine is just the opposite. I'm soooo thankful for everything she does for me and I truly see how much she loves Carter, Chuck & I. I could go on and on a list a million people, but everyone who is involved in our lives i would like to thank you - you all have made my life better!! THANKS!!
Well - on that note, i better get back to Carter...I will be going back to work before I know it so evertime time I have with him is cherished!!
