try to resist the other cuteness going on over there....you're welcome!

What I've learned

obviously, we've been busy around the Erickson house.  baby carter came only a couple days before due date but i went in for a doc appt and then we had to go to hospital so it was unexpected to say the least!! it was probably better that way bc i had anxiety about when i was going to go into labor.  i didn't really know what to expect going in, so if anyone wants to know my experience, you can email me....i won't go into details here but it wasn't THAT bad. but here are some things i've learned :

1. i really did love him the second i saw him.

2. baby poop doesn't bother me. and neither does getting peed on by my little man. 

3. it's ok to ask (EVERYONE) for advice....sorry if i've driven you crazy. 

4. trial and error 

5. you can be both a "cry it out" parent and "pick him up when he cries" parent. YOU CAN BE BOTH!!!!

6. MY HUSBAND IS AMAZING!!!!!  he went in with little to no experience with babies and has stepped up to help me in any way i need. i love him i love him i love him! and i love this little guy...
