Did I already mention how we chose Carter's name? Well, I will again if I already did. We had a couple names picked out, and always asked Annabelle to say them. She doesn't really have any clear words yet. She tries to say things, and we sometimes understand, but most of the time, we don't. When we asked her to say, "Carter", she said it almost immediately and it was very clear. She would also say, "Car Car". It was so cute, so we felt that was the name we would pick. Shortly before he was born, she just stopped saying it when we would ask her to. And she hasn't said his name since he has been born either. :( Bums me out, but I'm hoping she will say it again. It was so cute when she did.
My younger sister and best friend had her baby boy, Justus James only 5 days after we had Carter. Maybe that is why these past 10 days seem more like an eternity. We have been so busy already. It was an emotionally charged week for one family. We are all so blessed and SO thankful to God for these little blessings. Becoming a mom has been the greatest gift in my life, and the most emotional time of life. With some major highs accompanied by some lows and some physical pain. It's such an incredible experience, and it has been pretty amazing to experience a lot of this with Lisa. We totally 'get' each other. It is SO CRAZY that all of this happened together.
