Let me repeat myself...
It is AWESOME when Carson wakes up happy! We have been struggling for a long time now trying to figure out what is going on with his crying spells, which we believe is caused from some acid reflux. We had him on Axid for his reflux last week and it didn't seem to do anything at all. Today is the third day that we have had him on Prevacid and (I don't want to jinx myself, but) he is in such a good mood!

He likes his swing!
I am so happy to say that Carson is finally taking naps in his swing. For awhile there he would only be content for 5 minutes or so and then start crying. He has taken a nap in it every day for the last week though.
And it is even better when he wakes up happy! This is what I captured as he was waking up - such a cute smile!

Say Hello to Carl's new toy
This is the new Yamaha Majesty 400 scooter.
If you happen to be in the Denver area, you may see Carl riding around on that bad boy. He is a little too excited about being able to drive a scooter, but he will have fun! He is taking the motorcycle & scooter certification class this weekend. We always laugh at the people in this class done at the mall parking lot. I am SO going to go laugh at him now!!!
He will be picking it up sometime next week, but ours will be dark gray.

Carson's New Toy
Grandma Susan bought Carson a new playmat and he really loves it. He lays under the bars and "talks" to all the toys hanging down. It has a kickmat that plays music when he hits it and he yells when it turns on. It is so adorable.
Random Baby Shots
We have taken so many pictures of Carson in the short 7 weeks we have had him. I thought I would just post some of the favorites so far....

CARSON'S FIRST TRIP TO THE PARK! (As you can see, he mostly just slept and cried.)

So......No one really knows.
I thought I would keep my thoughts here because later on it will be fun to look back at what I was thinking and feeling during this incredible time. I found out in the morning on Saturday, August 4 and told Carl and my mom on Sunday night after Carl came home from camping. That truly was the hardest 36 hours of my life. I had to sit and hold this information and couldn't say a single word until Carl got home!!!
Here I sit today, 5 weeks 1 day pregnant. Only 3 other people in this world know and it is killing me. I cannot wait to spill it to everyone, but I know I can't just yet. Today I feel ok, not as tired as I have the last 5 or so days. I hadn't even been able to see straight because my eyes were watering so bad from yawning. Yikes. I painted a large living room wall yesterday and so I'm sore today, but feel better than expected.
I have known about being pregnant now for 9 days, but it already feels like a strange eternity. I don't feel much different, just like I have bad PMS. I obviously don't really have many physical symptoms just yet. I have been moody, but I truly can't help it. I read a paragraph out of Pregnancy for Dummies to Carl that explained how he shouldn't take my little outbursts personal. He wasn't really buying it. We have that book now because Carl said he would only read a book if it were the Cliff's Notes to pregnancy. I thought that was appropriate.
I'm so anxious right now to get to go to the doctor. This week the embryo will be developing its brain. So weird! I just want to see an ultrasound to make sure this is what I hope it is. You really never know if something is wrong, but I am trying to be very optimistic. There is a good chance we will be able to hear the heartbeat at our first appt. on August 28. This was the very first appt. they had open and it just happened to be the afternoon before I leave to head to Utah. I really needed to go to the doctor before I could feel comfortable sharing the news. Even if something ended up being wrong, I would want to know that as soon as possible and use my family for support. I would hate to get anyone else's hopes up.
Carl said the other day that he has been noticing pregnant women everywhere. He didn't know if it was because he just never looked for it or it is just jumping out whereever he goes. He is being so funny. He stayed home from work the day after I told him the news. He was wandering around the house all day long in a daze. He said he couldn't possibly work because he knows he would forget to do something important on a car and couldn't live with himself. Too funny.
So apparently we are supposed to compare the size of our babies to foods like fruits, vegetables and nuts. Last week, week 4, our little embryo was the size of a poppy seed or sesame seed:
This week it is the size of an appleseed. Big jump, eh?
I'm going to try to record our experiences here so thanks for reading. Bye!
