Carson decided to arrive a little early but thankfully, he's a happy and healthy little boy. It was a little crazy but it's over!!! We finished his room just in time - here are a few pictures of his nursery:
I went into the hospital Monday with nausea and some "braxton hicks" (or so I thought) and I was told I was having contractions one right after another. Long story short, I didn't progress and was sent home around 6pm. By 8 oclock, I was having major contractions about 4 minutes apart and by 9:30, they were 2-3 minutes apart. We made it to the hospital around 11:15 and Carson was born via C-Section (which was horrific - I'll spare you the gory details but let's just say my anesthesia didn't quite work and I felt almost everything). He arrived 12:44am, weighing 7 pounds 13 ounces, 18 and a half inches long. Although, today at the doctor, they said he was 20 inches. I KNOW a baby doesn't grow an inch and a half in 6 days! So, his height is still under discussion. : Regardless, pretty big for 36 weeks and 6 days. His lungs weren't quite ready for the outside world so he was on oxygen for a few days in the special care nursery. 
Big Brother Michael LOVES "baby Tarson" and always had a kiss ready for him:
Sorry - I can't seem to get this picture to flip vertical on the blog.
After we thought we had the all clear to go home after being in the hospital for 4 nights, his biliruben count went up and we had to stay another night and do another check Saturday morning. He had to do phototherapy on Saturday which was sad but HYSTERICAL. How can you not love the picture below. He had his own little tanning bed. :) But after this treatment - we busted out of the hospital and finally went home!!
Headed home!!!
We made it home just before Michael headed to bed - and there was no going to bed for a while! Michael had a serious playtime with Carson which was one of the sweetest moments of my life thus far. There's nothing like siblings.....
Sleeping Baby......
We put Carson in a swinging chair yesterday and attached the toys. He was so excited he went cross-eyed! He had definitely never seen "toys" and it was so cute!
Still sleeping.....
I'll add more pictures as they come! Thanks for all of your prayers and help!!!

He is precious! Love the pic with him looking at the toys and the pic of Michael holding him. They are going to be best buddies!
Congratulations!!! Carson is just darling! And I am right there with you on the C-section. I wasn't numb on 1 side and felt EVERYTHING as they did the procedure...horrific! That would be why I would given medicine at the end and knocked out for quite awhile. Good times, good times!!!
