Hospital Day 2 & 3

May 8th (which also happened to be Mother's Day), was our second day in the hospital. We started the day with Owen's hearing screen. He passed with flying colors. Good job, Buddy!

Wade & I both really enjoy hospital visitors. Knowing that people take the time and effort to come and meet our babies has made us feel so loved. Plus, it is fun to show off our new baby. :) We were blessed by lots of sweet visitors that we got to introduce to Baby O.

The Hunts came for a visit, but I only got a picture of Leah with our sweet babe.
Holly & Tim came with Miss Caroline.

G & Granddad came to meet their 6th great grandchild.

4 generations of Carpenter men. I'd say that we have done our part to keep the Carpenter lineage going. Ha!

Our friends, the Crowells
Our babysitter, Catherine (She went to her senior prom the night before. :)
Our future babysitter, Jamie
My friend, Melissa
Pastor Keith
My friend, Julie
Wade's cousin, Taylor (His sweet wife, Julie, came also, but we didn't get her picture. Makes me so sad...)
My friend (since the 2nd grade) and college roommate, Halie
Halie's son, Chase (4 months old) - He and Owen are going to be buddies. :)
Abbey came by for a second visit. She "couldn't drive by the hospital without stopping." :)

On May 8th, Drew finally started to come around to the idea of having a baby brother. He gave Owen kisses...
and held him for the first time. :)



We tried to get some family pictures... It proved to be much harder than anticipated. Ha!

Oh, poor Owen... he has no idea what he is in for. Only 2 days old, and already getting bunny ears in pictures. Bless his heart!

We had a great hospital stay - our nurses were all wonderful! We were so ready to be home with our family of 5 all under the same roof, though. :)
