Our newest arrival!

For those who like details, I will be posting the fun birth story, but I am still at the hospital so it will have to wait. In the meantime:

KATE AVERY CARTER
Friday March 12th 10:08 am
5 lb 12 oz
18.5 in long




I can't believe Kate is really here! She is the sweetest little thing. Unfortuntely, she has jaundice, so I am still in the hospital with her. I think she is getting better though, and we are really hoping that she can come home tomorrow. If she hasn't improved enough, they will admit her to the pediatric unit and I will have to leave the hospital without her. That will be sad. So pray that she can come home. Thanks! :)

Does anyone else hate being at the hospital? I have slept maybe 2 hours in the last 3 days. Seriously. I just can't wait to get home.

HOORAY!!!!!! I cant believe how small she is!!! Congratulations. The hospital is no place to recover. I do not like hospitals and count that as a positive with not having any more kids. She's beautiful, I'm so happy for you guys. I love her name too.

I hate it so much. I always go home as soon as humanly possible. Those crazy nurses bug you all day at their convenience. Errgh!

Congrats. What a sweetheart.

She is adorable ... and so tiny ... my kiddies come out huge ... so, once she is about 2 months ... that is what my babes weighed at birth ... I would love to have a small one sometime ... but Mike was a big baby ... and I was average ... so, I think a 5 or 6 lb baby is out of reach. 9 lbs is how we make them !

I enjoyed the hospital with Eden. But after I had Tex, I just couldn't get home fast enough. The nurses and doctors wanted me to stay at least one more day, but I said, "No way! I'm going home." I only stayed for 48 hours, and I was out of there.

Ashley she is so cute! I'm glad she came a few days early. I also didn't like being at the hospital I was out of there as soon as possible. I just wanted to sleep and everyone kept bothering me. I hope Kate gets better and can come home quickly!
