Zoo Trip

We went to the Phoenix Zoo today! My class was taking a field trip there today so we decided to take Carson to the zoo too. He did pretty well! He got fussy a couple of times, but it was only because he was hungry. So we found a spot to sit and feed him while watching animals. We had to go into the family restroom too to change his diaper. It was a big mess and we had to change him into his extra outfit! He slept most of the time while we were there, but it was nice to get out and get some fresh air.

One month tomorrow

Carson will be one month tomorrow! I'm still adjusting and trying to recover still! My body is not fully back to normal yet which stinks. Carson has his good days and bad days. Sometimes ... ha, I just have to say I totally forgot I was doing this. I got up because Carson was crying and then ended up doing other things around the house. I just sat down to look up where Travis and I have seen this guy from a movie and saw that this was up. Well, while I have time, I'm putting some more recent pics up of Carson.

Here is a pic of Carson with his cousins. The girls kept asking to hold him. They took turns along with my sister and mom.

Busy Busy Busy

While Carson is napping, I have little time to post more pics and give an update. Things have been going well. Carson's last feeding is usually around 11:30-12 and he sleeps until about 4am. So we've been getting some sleep at night. Being up that late was never really that late for me and I could be up just fine. Now I'm exhausted at that time and it's hard being up. This past week my mom and Abuelita stayed with us to help us with Carson. She has been a BIG help! Today they left and now Travis and I are on our own. So far today has been going pretty good. Getting through the night is going to be tough though since my mom helped out a lot. Carson had his check-up on Tuesday and his pediatrician said he looks great. He gained 4 oz. and I'm sure he's gained more since his check-up. He has another appt. next Tuesday. Here are a few more pictures to share.

Interaction time with mommy on the couch.

When awake he is very aware and concentrates on things around him.

It was actually cold in Arizona for a few days. We bundled him up to go out. His coat is too big for him, but he doesn't seem to mind.

Here is a Carson Palmer jersey Grandma Darleen bought Carson. Daddy is very proud!

Finally...pictures

Here are a few pictures for now of Carson. Delivery was LONG! We're home and trying to figure out what we're doing. Carson was born Wednesday, Feb. 4th @ 4:37am. He weighed 7lbs and 12oz. He measured 20 inches long. Things have been crazy here so here is what we have for now.

Travis and I are on our way to the hospital. Carson is on his way...say a prayer for us!

37 week appointment

Update on what is going on:

NOTHING! Yup, that's right...Carson is comfy where he is I guess and nothing is going on down there except for he is low. I was hoping for something since yesterday I started getting lower back pain with tightening of the stomach and it was happening every so often. I'm officially off of work now. I went all day on Monday, but it was just too much for me. So I decided to take off a week earlier than planned. My doctor said that since I've been having high blood pressure that if nothing happens at 39 weeks, they might just go ahead and induce me. So I'm hoping he comes naturally without them having to do that. But I know a lot of you have been wondering about us and if any signs of labor was happening; unfortunately nothing is happening. Travis and I are really anxious though and we're trying to be patient.

An Abundance of Love

I just feel so loved and grateful for family and friends. We have been blessed with many gifts from our church family. Even after our baby shower we've been still receiving gifts. Today my school family gave me a baby shower and once again, I'm feeling blessed. Even though we all have just known each other since July, they have been wonderful to me. They are a great school family to have. They show they care by asking how I'm doing on a daily basis and offer help and assistance. So I just wanted to say THANK YOU to all my family and friends for all that you do for Travis and I!
