Carter Comes Home!

After eleven days in the NICU, Carter finally got to come home. That was the best day ever! We dressed him up in his blue puppy outfit from Grandma Bourland, loaded him into the then oversized carseat, and headed home. Ryan and I were so ready to have the "wireless" version of Carter. We gladly welcomed the sleepless nights, diaper changes, feedings, etc. We finally got to be Mommy and Daddy. Aunt Shannon, Cousin Jackson, and Cousin Blake were the first to visit. Both Blake and Jackson were very excited to get to hold their new cousin. Grandma and Grandpa Bourland were in Ashton, Idaho at the time. They literally drove through a blizzard to come and hold Carter. In fact, I don't think he was put down for the next two days while Grandma and Grandpa Bourland were here. Good thing Carter is a snuggler because we were all making up for the lost cuddle time.
