Our miracle was born on Tuesday, August 21, 2007 at 2:52 am. He weighed 8 pounds, was 21.5 inches long, and has big hands and feet like his dad. We were in labor only about 8.5 hours...we'll spare the gorey details for those that want to know them at a later time. I can't say thank you enough to God for a short, healthy, and safe delivery and my wonderful husband and mother as the best coaches I could have had.
Alan and I feel so blessed to have our little boy with us...that he was delivered safely and that he is doing great now! Of course in the first few weeks, babies change how they look so much...right now we think he kind of looks like a little old man with a wrinkly face...but he changes every hour almost. We keep trying to figure out which features are from the Anders and which are from the Carters...we think he is quite a blend...but definitely cute.
Now, we are trying to get used to breastfeeding, sleeping a lot, and enjoying the quiet time with each other. How blessed we are!
Thank you to each of you for your continued support, encouragement, thoughts, and prayers during this pregnancy! Oak has an incredible family of beloved people all over this world and we hope to tell him all about each of you!
