Carson Myles Langley

Carson Myles Langley was born September 4, 2010!! He weighed 5lb 7oz (1oz bigger than Brooks!) and was 19 1/4 in long. He was 3 weeks early, so I was surprised when I went into labor on Friday night. Brooks was 17 days early, so I figured he would come early, but not earlier than Brooks. I had been so anxious about going into labor since Brian is in Greensboro during the week. But the timing couldn't have been more perfect! Brian got home at around 10:30 that Friday night, and I was starting to have real contractions by then. I just didn't think it would go as fast as it did. My contractions were very irregular, but were starting to be more intense in pain. By 5am I knew we needed to get to the hospital REALLY fast! I called Brian's mom to come stay with Brooks, and it was after 7am by the time we got outta the house. I was dying by that time and was so worried about delivering in the car! It was a constant contraction, one right on top of the other, with no time in between. We checked in at St. Francis at 7:53am and Carson was born at 8:41am by c-section. Apparently I was complete (10cm) before we left the house! Luckily since I had a scheduled c-section for exactly 2 weeks later, I got to have one. My doctor was amazing and once I got the spinal I was feeling great. Brian got to watch Carson being born and was able to be with him while they were stitching me up. He was the first to hold him! I was so excited when they handed him to me as we were leaving the OR! He was so tiny and looked exactly like Brooks. Brian was able to take the whole week off of work! He was only going to be able to stay for 4 days if I had made it to my scheduled c-section, so we got lucky he was here for 8 days :) Brooks is the best big brother and loves to spend time with C. I feel like such a lucky mom to have two sweet and beautiful boys! Carson will be 1 month old tomorrow and Brooks will be 3 in 7 weeks! I can't believe how fast time has flown by. I'm loving watching them grow and being their mom :)
