Baptism
Charlotte
got baptized on October 18th when she was a little over 4 months old.
Katie and Jack Jobst are her godparents and we couldn’t thank them enough for
helping guide our little princess down the correct path in life.
Benjamin Monkeying Around
Benjamin started the monkey room at LECE and the transition
was great. He had met his new teachers a couple times beforehand so he was a
little familiar. All his teachers are young so we were interested in how he
would adjust to that because he prefers older people because that is what he was use
to from being watched by his great grandparents.
He has a new girlfriend named
Allison which they are the cutest. The teachers think they will get married, or
at least Mrs. Jennifer is trying!
Benjamin is 3!
Wow! Benjamin is three and has a brand spanking new baby
sister. He is unsure of her so he kept his distance the first couple weeks. We
got advice to keep his schedule the same because he is a routine kind of guy.
He eventually came around!
He weighs 30lbs, 30% for weight and is 41.75 inches tall, 99%
for height.
Charlotte Rose Carlson
Charlotte Rose Carlson was born on
May 30, 2015 at 7:09pm. Weighing 7lbs 8oz, measuring 20 inches long. She was
perfect!
She came a couple days early and how
she arrived was a little dramatic OR mommy trying to squeeze a bunch of things
in last minute before her arrival. It might have been the second option. I woke up in the middle
of the night with contractions but didn’t know what to do because my doctor and
I never talked about it; we both thought that we would go to my scheduled
C-section date. David and I carried on our day with the contractions getting
closer and closer. I had decided to take a shower and go get a pedicure but I
never got a pedicure because when I got out of the shower I couldn’t even move
nor walk. The contractions were about four minutes apart and so painful.
I called my mom, Maw-Maw, to come
get Benjamin and she informed me that she was playing cards and that I needed to
call my dad. WHAT?!?!? Clearly she has her priorities in order. We got a hold
of my dad who took Benjamin as we speed off to the hospital. It was like the
movies! David was speeding down the highway, I was screaming every curse word I
could think of while I clawed his arm off. Longest car ride EVER. David flew
into the hospital parking lot and jumped out of the car to rush in to get someone to get
a wheel chair because I thought that I was having a baby in the car. They
looked at David like he was crazy and moved at snail pace because clearly they
have been here a time or two. After I got admitted they asked when my water broke
and I informed them it didn’t (but had to go to the bathroom every three
minutes). They told me my water had broken and I was 8cm dilated, whoa! They
asked if I wanted to VBAC and I was just screaming and cursing for the drugs
since I was really afraid I wasn’t going to get any at this point. Long story
short she arrived 40 minutes after we arrived at the hospital and that was even
waiting for the doctor to get there, which he had a talking to me about not
waiting to last minute next time.
Let me just finish this story by
saying that Charlotte is still dramatic so it might have been option one from
the beginning.
