Carson will be one week old tomorrow! It's amazing how from the second they placed Carson in my arms how much I loved him already. He has brought such a sweet spirit into our home and we have enjoyed getting to know his cute little personality. When I was pregnant with Carson I noticed that he was way more active at night time than during the day. I worried that when he actually came that he might have his days and nights mixed up. Well I turned out to be right. He has his days and nights mixed up more than ever! We hardly ever see his little eyes open during the day, but at night he is bright eyed and wide awake. I guess I need to start pulling out my camera during the middle of the night in order to get pictures of him with his eyes open. So it has made for some rough nights with only about 45 minutes of sleep total, but we are working on getting him on a schedule. Last night he followed the schedule so well! I loved it! It feels amazing to get more than an hour of sleep!!! Luckily my wonderful Mom is sitll here and has helped me so much and been up with me every night. We have had some good laughs together during the middle of the night and it's been so great to have her here to help me! I'm sure going to miss her when she leaves tomorrow! Hopefully this new schedule will work for him and be a good routine for us. Here are a few new pictures of our little man over the past few days.
Carson taking his swing for a ride. So far he seems to love it.
I just love how he folds his little arms together!
Mommy and her sweet little boy.
The proud Daddy and his boy. Chad is such a good little Dad and completely adores his son.

Sorry you aren't getting any sleep! It should gradually get better over the next few weeks. :)
You look great and I love Carson's crib! It's super cute (but not as cute as the little man himself!!!).
AHHH!! You are a mom! Can you believe it? I know that you are going to be/are the most amazing mother. Congrats sweetie. I love you to death. Call you soon.
CUTE CUTE!!! Sorry about the no-sleep-thing - totally not fun, but worth it:) Have a great Thanksgiving with your little sweetie..
Oh my goodness, Congratulations new mother!!! My little boy was in the hospital this last week and so I haven't checked out blogs for a while. What a surprise to see that your little man decided to make his debut early! What a wonderful holiday present! I am so happy for you and know you will love being a mother... it is the BEST! Hope you are feeling well and enjoying your little Carson! Hey, check out the book Baby Wise... it totally helped me get my little guy on a schedule.
Congrats! I have been meaning to call, but just haven't got around to it :)
Anyway, he looks sweet. Olivia was the same way. I remember crying with her at night with lack of sleep :) but hey we all forget and have another one.
BTW, I wasn't able to make it to your baby shower. I heard it went well. If you want me to take baby pictures let me know. I will give you a call, this is getting long :)
Take care!
Wow, Michelle, you look awesome! I don't think I put makeup on for a month after Elijah was born.
I hate that you're not getting much sleep but it will get better! We were so sleep deprived our first six weeks with Elijah...I'm so glad that's over. But you'll get through this and before you know it you will be getting 4, 5 or maybe 6 hours of sleep at a time!!
He's darling, Michelle! Those first few weeks are such a rollercoaster aren't they? Feelings of elation, exhaustion, pure joy, total frustration, etc. etc all in the same hour! You are doing a great job. Hang in there!!
I'm so glad that your mom was able to help you. What a blessing!
P.S. Cute pictures....keep them coming!
The first few weeks they are home are always the hardest! :) He is so so cute!
Cute pictures! I agree with all the other mothers, it does get better. My favorite phrase I repeat as a mother is "This too shall Pass." Nothing lasts forever so enjoy the good parts and know the bad parts will get better.
