Bella Louisa Carter

We are proud to announce the new life of Bella Louisa Carter. She was born 9-25-08 at 11:05 am. Weighing 7lbs 8oz and 19.5 in. and a full head of dark brown hair. We went in at 6 on wed evening and I was planning on being enduced Thurs morning at 7 but I went into labor on my own and she came out perfect. By the time the docs got there to give me an epideral I was already at an 8. I never thought that the birthing classes would come in to handy and all the breathing we practiced but it was used the whole time. Tilden was right there by my side counting and breathing with me. I have such a wonderful husband. It was such an amazing expeirence to share with Tilden. He has been great. and Maddux already loves his baby sister. He has been helping me and wont stop giving her kisses. We still havent decided who she looks like but she is so perfect. We were also blessed to have my parents here again to help us with Maddy while we were in the hospitol. so before they left to Cys house we took some pics. I just want my family to know that I am so blessed to have them all in my life. and such great support. I will be posting more pics in a few days.

Today is finally the day.......

Wow I can't believe it is here already. But I am so ready for it to be. We are going in to the hospitol today at 5 to start labor. I wasn't nervous at first but now I think I am getting that way and excited and scared and so many different feelings. I just can't wait to see her face and meet her for the first time. I went in to the doc yesterday and he stripped my membranes. haha that sounds so funny. but it was pretty uncomfortable but he was just trying to get me started. after that we went and walked around the mall forever and the contractions were coming. Oh man I think I slept a total of 3 hours last night. between the contractions and the hands being numb and sore. Non the less we have a super busy schedule today to pass the time and Maddux is going to his first day of Preeschool. I am so proud I am seeing one off to school and starting another. Life is so amazing and precious. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family. My parents came and I am so glad that they are here to support and help us. They have always been a big part of our lives. Well this is going to be the last post for a few days but I promise I will try and get on it as soon as I get home. Or try and convince Tilden to do it. haha

New baby Morgan Ann.......

My sister finally had her baby this last Fri. the 12th. at around 2:45. If it wasnt for text messages I wouldnt have known til after. (Thanks Michael for keeping me updated on my sis) I am so happy for them. I cant wait to meet her. So far all we can do is the web cam and pics. but hey some is better than non. I am glad that we have the technology to talk live now. Morgan Ann weighed 8lbs 2oz. Her brothers Cole and Carson are so stinkin cute and are proud to be big brothers. LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!

Nursery

So I finally recieved the rest of the baby's room stuff and I got it all put up and I love it!! I have been obssesed with pink and brown so her room of course is that color. I had so much fun putting it all together. The only bummer, she has to share the room with the computer stuff. but that's okay im still very happy with how it turned out.

Anyone can cook....

So I haven't been feeling well the last few days and Maddux wanted to help me make chicken noodle soup, and the first thing he said was Anyone can cook. (from Ratatouee) not sure how to spell that. And after we laughed a bit from that he said we are like a TV show mom. haha. After we got finished chopping the veggies we had to shred the chicken and he was supposed to be putting them in the bowl but instead each piece from the plate went straight into his mouth. I love my little cooker. He says the funniest things. Our lil boy is getting so big. and oh so very smart. I am so proud of him.

Today is Sept. 11th

This is for every man and woman fighting for us, and for my husband....






You stay up for 16 hours.

He stays up for days on end.





You take a warm shower to help you wake up.

He goes days or weeks without running water.





You complain of a "headache", and call in sick.

He gets shot at as others are hit, and keeps moving forward.





You put on your anti war/don't support the troops shirt, and go meet up with your friends.

He still fights for your right to wear that shirt.





You talk trash about your "buddies" that aren't with you.

He knows he may not see some of his buddies again.





You walk down the beach, staring at all the pretty girls.

He patrols the streets, searching for insurgents and terrorists.


..


You complain about how hot it is.

He wears his heavy gear, not daring to take off his helmet to wipe his brow.







You go out to lunch, and complain because the restaurant got your order wrong.

He doesn't get to eat today.





Your maid makes your bed and washes your clothes.

He wears the same things for weeks, but makes sure his weapons are clean.





You go to the mall and get your hair redone.

He doesn't have time to brush his teeth today.





You're angry because your class ran 5 minutes over.

He's told he will be held over an extra 2 months.





You call your girlfriend and set a date for tonight.

He waits for the mail to see if there is a letter from home.





You hug and kiss your girlfriend, like you do everyday.

He holds his letter close and smells his love's perfume.





You roll your eyes as a baby cries.

He gets a letter with pictures of his new child, and wonders if they'll ever meet.





You criticize your government, and say that war never solves anything.

He sees the innocent tortured and killed by their own people and remembers why he is fighting.





You hear the jokes about the war, and make fun of men like him.

He hears the gunfire, bombs and screams of the wounded.





You see only what the media wants you to see.

He sees the broken bodies lying around him.





You are asked to go to the store by your parents. You don't.

He does exactly what he is told even if it puts his life in danger.





You stay at home and watch TV.

He takes whatever time he is given to call, write home, sleep, and eat.





If you support your troops, the click "reply to poster" copy all the codes, and repost the bulletin.


If you don't support your troops well, then don't re-post. You won't die in 7 days, your love life won't be affected, and you won't have the worst day ever. You don't have to repost. It's not like you know the men and women that are dying to preserve your rights.



































WHETHER YOU ARE FOR IT OR AGAINST IT IS IRRELIVENT, REALITY IS THAT OUR MEN AND WOMEN ARE STILL FIGHTING, PLEASE KEEP THIS GOING ..
