Congratulations Melody!

Create Your Own!

We are so happy for and proud of you. You hung in there all the way--You GO GIRL!!

Thank you Seanta

This is the wonderful gift I have been telling you about, and showing whoever I can.

We can't thank you enough for the beautiful quilt you took the time to make for Micah! He will be able to cheerish this gift for years to come. Thanks again

Baby on the go!

Micah went on his first roadtrip 9/23/06 to stay with his grandparents. We know he loves the car--slept all the way. The only rowdy moments were on the way back home. He didn't like waiting at the stoplights.

Then the next day he went to watch his daddy play flag football. He is a little baby on the go.

Micah is 2 months old

Micah had his 2 month checkup 9/27/06. He now weighs 11 pounds and 7 ounces. He is also now 21.5 inches.

Micah is now holding his head up unassisted, trying to crawl (his granny even witnessed this), smiling, cooing, and very attentive. He seems to study everything.

1 month checkup

Micah is growing like crazy. He now weighs 8 pounds 9 ounces, and is 20.5 inches long (not bad for an early baby). He was pretty worn out after his doc. visit as you can see in his pics. Getting the Hep B shot was not any fun for the little guy.

1 month old

Sorry for the slow updates (adjusting to motherhood).

Wow, I can't believe it, Micah is already 1 month old. Time moves so fast. He goes to the doctor for his 1 month checkup on 8/30. I will post his new stats then. Right now he smiles a lot, and he has pretty good head and neck control. He even does this cute little inch worm scoot.

Lactation office visit 7/31/06

Micah is doing very well in the feeding department. Since his birth his weight has dropped from 5lbs.12oz. to 5lbs.8oz. He latched on and ate very well during this office visit. The nurse was very pleased with his progress.

Surprise Micah Sheldon Carson is early

Please click post title to see Micah's hospital photo! The page password is our last name.

He caught everyone off guard by arriving 4 weeks early. My water broke about 9:45 AM Wednesday morning. We arrived at the hospital at about 11:00 AM. By 3:00 PM the doctor was confident that my water had truly broken and that I was in labor. After 26 hours of labor my doctor decided that for the safety of Micah and myself that a C-section was the best way for me to safely deliver, due to my cervix failing to progress in labor. I dilated to 6.5 cm and stayed there for over five hours. By 1:00 PM I was scheduled for surgery.

Micah's stats:

Micah was delivered at 2:10 PM on 7/27/06 at HEB Harris Methodist Hospital. He weighed 5 pounds 12 ounces, and length is 17.5 inches

Mom and baby are doing excellent and were released early and were back at home by Saturday evening. More updates will follow soon.

10th Prenatal visit

My delivery date is only about 5.5 weeks away now. The doc is still saying that everything looks to be right on target.

Baby update : As of 7/13/06 the doc says that the baby weighs about 4-5 pounds. Baby is kicking and hitting a lot harder.

Daddy update : Ready for the baby to be here now.

Mommy update : Feeling overwhelmed and a little down, but alright. Insomnia is back, but I am dealing with it:-(

Baby's nursery

Sorry for the delay, but here are most of the pics. I still have a few finishing touches to add.

Happy 4th of July

Baby Shower

We want to thank all of our friends and family that made this celebration a wonderful time!

Special thanks go to Kira for the beautiful cake and decorations, LeCinda and Wilma for the entertainment, Erica for the good candid photos, and Mr. Raymond for filming, Terrance for the food, and everyone that helped cleanup afterwards.

Be looking out for baby Carson's birth announcement.

Thanks again,
Terrance and Angela

9th Prenatal visit

We are getting down to the end days. There will be two more 2 week doctor visits. Then we will begin going weekly until baby Carson arrives.

Baby update: As of 06/28/06 the baby's growth is right on target. The baby now hiccups about 2-3 times a day, which is very good for developing lungs. Baby Carson loves to bump around all throughout the day now.

Daddy update: Very excited and now states that he is ready for the baby! Keeping Mommy from doing too much by helping out decoration the nursery (pics soon to come). Making sure Mommy is eating right, and relaxed.

Mommy update: Trying to take it easy, but getting restless. Baby load seems to be getting heavier everyday (even though doctor says I have only gained 17 pounds so far). Making sure that all last minute preparations are getting done before baby arrives.

It's our Anniversary

Wow, time flies when you are having fun. We have been married three years today already. It seems just like yesterday we started dating almost five years ago, we got married, and now we are looking forward to our first child.

I am so blessed to have you in my life. I definitely look forward to sharing more wonderful years with you Terrance!

Love ya


To My Dear and Loving Husband

by Anne Bradstreet

If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were loved by wife, then thee;
If ever wife was happy in a man,
Compare with me ye women if you can.
I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold,
Or all the riches that the East doth hold.
My love is such that rivers cannot quench,
Nor ought but love from thee give recompense.
Thy love is such I can no way repay;
The heavens reward thee manifold, I pray.
Then while we live, in love let's so persevere,
That when we live no more we may live ever.

Last Prepared Childbirth class

Thursday, 06/22/06 was our last class. I was surprised by the amount of emotion I was feeling about class being over. For one, the class was fun and very informative. Two, the end of class put things into perspective for how close we are to actually trying our parenting skills.

I am not sure if the last class was as fun for Terrance as it was for me. Our Nurse Educator had the guys pretend to be in labor and birth a baby. I wish I would have bought the camera with me (it was priceless). More great memories for us to grow old with.

8th Prenatal visit

Baby update : As of 06/16/06 baby Carson is 30 weeks and 2 days. The baby's heart rate is very strong, and movements are very strong and frequent. The baby now seems to get hiccups quite frequently that last for about 10 minutes (excellent for lung development).

Daddy update : Anxiety struck when the doctor told us we had six more weeks until the baby would be full term and possibly ready for delivery. Still very excited, but concerned about not being prepared for the baby.

Mommy update : I am now 7.5 months. My joints are all aching and, the itching skin has cleared up. It is getting harder to move around. Had Braxton Hicks contractions everyday last week, but doctor says everything is fine that those contractions are good practice. I almost panicked when the doctor told me I had about six more weeks to go.
