Carson Michael Joyner

We are proud to announce the birth of Carson Michael Joyner! He arrived on 1/26/16 at 8:40 AM weighing 6 pounds 10 ounces & measuring 20 inches long. A due date baby! He entered the world with a loud scream that even shocked the doctor and nurses. It was the smoothest and easiest (relatively speaking) delivery we could have asked for-Thanks Carson!  

The birth story: The afternoon before I went to the doctor and she had a few "tricks" to get him out. What she did must have worked! After the appointment we went to the mall to walk for the 4th time that week, eat at the food court (pregnant woman's dream come true), take Callie to ride the carousel, and enjoy sometime as a family of 3. I woke up feeling what I thought was just cramps..but within minutes realized I was in active labor with contractions every 2-3 minutes. We made it to the hospital 6 cm dilated. Carson was on his way fast! My favorite doctor walked in the room and 1 push later our perfect son was born. 

Love at first sight

Love my boys!

  

Hands & heart full

First meeting- isn't she glowing?

Life with a little boy is a little different and a learning curve for us. He has peed on his nursery walls at least 3 times, all over Daniel during newborn pictures, and in my face on my first day home alone with him. So far he's a really good baby and sleeps well at night. Big sister Callie is in love with him. She enjoys singing to him during diaper changes, holding him, and telling him "it's okay" when he is crying. 

Thanks for all the calls, texts, visits, gifts, flowers, meals, and well wishes. You have once again shown us just how blessed we are. Shout out to our awesome church for providing meals for the first 2 weeks since we have been home..I'm not sure I even remember how to cook. Check back in a few days for a post about us settling in at home & hopefully his newborn/family pictures will be back! Thanks for reading :)
