Her first picture as Joel is cutting the cord. A cool shot I think but not a very good picture of her.
Labor was great for me....once i got the epidural. The nurse kept bringing me popsicles and ice while Joel and i just chilled. We started a movie but did not get to finish it.
Joel wasn't so comfy during labor. They just don't make couches big enough for him.
Carley started out weighing 8.13 by the end of the night she had pooped herself to 8.7. Here is Joel changing diaper #3 of 5 for the night. My mom and Joel's mom did not believe her length so they re measured her and are convinced that she is really 20 inches long. Grandparents are so funny.
Here she is after her bath and all done up. We can not stop holding her and staring at her.
I am convinced that there is nothing more tender in the world than seeing your husband cuddle your baby. We are all doing well and i am convinced that i have the best baby in the world. She did not even cry when they poked her foot to draw blood today she just squeezed my finger a little harder. We are all glad to be home from the hospital. She is eating and sleeping so well. If we could stop staring at her we would get a lot more sleep also. She is too fun!!!
We tried to send everyone a picture message Friday night with the news. Apparently there were lot of people that did not get our message. Sorry. I guess our phones got overloaded and we did not realize. We also learned that the i phones don't get picture message...LAME!!! Stay tuned for lots more pictures. I have to go nap with the baby. What a great job!!

Cute, cute pictures! Glad you're home and baby Carley is being good. Having your own baby to stare at and cuddle really is a lot of fun. Take it easy and let me know if you need anything.

She is beautiful, I want to come see her. When you text me on Saturday you said she was 9lbs 13 ounces so this whole time I have been telling everyone that you had a 9lb baby! How funny! For your sake glad it was only 8lbs 13 ounces! Anyhow congrats!
She is so beautiful!! Thanks for posting pix so fast. Enjoy!
That picture is award winning. The lighting is awesome. I was just telling Joel today you guys should go check out Kid to Kid when you are feeling up to it (or you could send him and see what you get?) They had a ton of really nice baby items in there yesterday. I think Carley is a great mix of you and Joel, so much fun when they have hair to play with. Hope you are feeling well, sounds like everything went so smoothly, you can't ask for for than that.
Congratulations!
Hey Tera, congratulations!! I love all her hair! Having that first baby is such a miracle. Your blog brought back memories. Get your rest(if you can)!
Oh m heck! Your a mommy!! Isn't it amazing. She is such a pretty baby! Tons of hair! I'm glad that things went well. Your mom was keeping me informed at church! She was pretty excited that she could drive down to hold a grandbaby instead of flying across the country! Love your mom! She's cute! Congrats!
She is perfect! I lover her little hair! We, especially Brylie, would like to meet her in person though so give us a call when you are up here. Congrats she is beautiful!
Good Work Son!
oh my goodness what a little doll. She is darling. I'm so glad everything is going good for you both. I also love husbands holding the little baby...it's just so sweet. I'm so happy for you both and glad everything went so smooth.
YAY!!! I'm so excited for you! She is too cute! I can't wait to come see her! Tell us when we can and we will run across the grass =) P.S. I think its funny you said that Joel wasn't comfortable during labor...um hello, I swear you were giving birth! He can deal with not having a long enough couch! He's unusually tall anyway =)
She is absolutely beautiful! I got the text message :) I love all her hair! I can't wait to see her in person. Congratulations!! I'm glad all is well!
