Carter Jay






We welcomed little Carter into the world on March 27th at about 2:45 pm. He weighed only 4 lbs. and 11 ounces and was 17.5 inches long. Our little guy has a long road of challenges ahead of him, but we are ready to take them on, and will help him overcome all of the obstacles. Unfortunately we found out today that he has no hearing, but are optimistic that it may be improved with surgery. Also he will need to have a cleft palate and lip repaired as well as an ear reconstructed. No matter what comes of the testing over the next few days we love and adore our baby and are very proud of the achievements that he's already made. We love you so much little buddy, and can't wait to bring you home to meet your brother and sister!
