Well, Carter is 5 days today. Its amazing, I can't believe it almost been a week now. This morning we took him to get circumcised. Poor guy, we weren't allowed back to be with him but I could hear him scream for a while. Good thing is its over and you wouldn't even know it now. He has been sleeping , well like a baby. His Dr. says he is doing great. He is up to almost 9lbs. already! Amazing, he is only 5 days old and he is gaining weight. It has already been an exciting week. He has his first football injury. Wednesday, we took him to the Dr. and we found out he has a broken collarbone. Apparently sometime during birth he fractured his clavicle. Good news is it heals well and after being to the Dr. this morning, it has already begun to calcify. He is going to be a stud. He has already been a warrior dealing with an injury at such an early age. Shellie is doing better than she was earlier this week. She was in quite a bit of pain (from early beginnings of nursing). Thankfully, we were able to get a handle on it and she is feeling pretty good now. She is still struggling to get some sleep/rest but it is expected. Pray that in the hours available to her, she is able to rest. She has been amazing. She is such a good mother and has maintained being an amazing wife.  That is our prayer that we will always maintain a husband/wife relationship first.  This will allow for a healthy, loving parent relationship to follow. Don't get me wrong, Carter is now just as important in our lives as the two of us are to each other.  There is no one now more important to me than my beautiful wife and our gorgeous son. I am excited and thrilled to be a parent.  I am also thankful for our family and friends for being such a support and cannot wait for these people to impact our children's lives.  Shellie's parents have been here all week and made it here just in time to be a part of Carter's birth. Something I will always cherish is the fact that our parents, my grandmother and my sister were all able to witness and experience our first child. That is a memory I will hold dear in my heart. To Mom, Dad, Mama J, Daddy J, Grandmammy and Michelle I love you all very much...Thank you for being apart of this. Friends, I can't wait to introduce you to Carter.
