Cuddle's with my Carter

So today was the day I have been waiting for since the day I gave birth 5 3/7 weeks ago, I got to hold my sweet Carter!! It's hard for me to even type this post without crying! It was a such a special moment when the nurses put my precious baby in my arms. Carter and I got to cuddle for 30 minutes kangaroo style, skin to skin. As I held him I told him how much his mommy and daddy loved him and I even sang to him. As I sang the song I am a Child of God, one of my nursery kids favorite songs, I could not help but cry. I am so blessed to have these two precious spirits as my children. I am the luckiest mom ever! I do feel sad that I was not able to hold Easton but I know the day will come. I pray that Easton gets healthier and stronger! The neuro-surgeon came in today and told me that Easton will need the shunt surgery either Wednesday or Friday and we are going to wait and see with Carter since his ventricles have not increased to the extent of needing surgery yet. Easton is still having a very hard time respiratory wise. His lungs are just not strong enough and his diaphragm is pushing up on that right lung. It's so hard to see my little Easton struggling but I know with time and lots of prayers he will get better.  Here are some pictures from today! I was in heaven as you can tell. :) 

Carters eyes wide open

Carter has a smile on his face. We were both in heaven.

Happy mommy and daddy
