He has arrived!


Carter Isaac Green was born on May 24th at 1:48pm. He weighed in at 7lbs 14oz and 21 inches long.

My delivery was short and sweet and wonderful. I was induced and only labored for about 4 hours before he was ready to make his entrance.


His cleft on his lip isn't too extensive but the hard palate will need some significant work. We will be meeting with a bunch of doctors over the next couple of weeks to get an idea of what needs to be done when. For now they are monitoring his growth closely to make sure he is gaining.






Landen is already a cute big brother and askes to hold and feed the baby a lot. He is protective of the new family member too. He doesn't like people he doesn't know hanging around his new brother.

So as for now things are going really well. It is just really really nice to be home with my little family. Thank you to everyone for your love and support. We really appreciate the kindness we receive from our friends and family!

YEAH! I am so glad he made it safely and that your labor went well. That is exactly what I am hoping for, "short and sweet!" :) Hope you can recover nicely and enjoy being a new mommy again.
