Adam is Here!

We were thrilled to welcome our 2nd son to our family this week.....Adam Dohn Carlson was born on August 2nd at 2:22am.  He weighed 7 pounds, 15 ounces and was 21 inches long.
Despite having to wait until August (July sounded much better!), everything went great and we are at home adjusting to having two wonderful boys!

After starting contractions around 6:30pm on Monday night and getting to the hospital around 11:00pm, Adam was born at 2:22am in the morning on the 2nd!  After oogling at our new little arrival, the three of us at the hospital were able to take a little nap before starting the day with visitors and all the hospital stuff that happens during the first day of life!

Pete went to get David in the morning and brought him over to meet his new little brother.  He has been so excited about being a big brother, so we were hoping that that excitement would continue when Adam actually arrived.  Thankfully it has!  David keeps saying how much he loves his little brother, wanting to kiss and hold him, and checking in on him when he's crying to make sure he is OK!  Let's cross our fingers that this continues!

Thank goodness Grandma Peggy came to help out with our adjustment and especially with David while we were at the hospital on Tuesday night.  When she left on Friday, it wasn't more than 2 minutes before both boys were crying at the same time.  Pete and I looked at each other and started laughing......then begging she would come back!

We will update the post as much as possible so everyone can watch our new adventures with two boys.  Even if it's just photos.....hopefully we'll be able to keep it a bit  more up to date.  Enjoy!
