I’m a New Daddy!
December 31st, 2006 . by CaryMEG Cartter joined the world at 2:42 p.m. MST on Saturday, December 30, 2006. She weighed 8 pounds 7 ounces and measured 20 1/2″ long. As you can see, she has a full head of hair:
Isn’t she beautiful?
Try this one with her Mommy:
OK, if you insist, I’ll post one with me, too:
Can I tell you a secret? I get a Tear of Pride every time I hold her – I can’t even look at her picture without getting fogged up!
We had gone in Saturday morning to induce labor, since MEG was running a bit late. As the pitocin went in, it became apparent that something wasn’t quite right – with each contraction, MEG’s heartrate would drop drastically. So – TMBWitW was prepped for a c-section. No, it was not what we had prayed for. No, we didn’t even consider this possibility – communication from the Dr. has been a sore point lo, these many months.
But, it went without a hitch – MEG came out at 2:42, and started letting the world know that she was quite comfortable where she was, thank you very much. After a bath and a nap, she got down to the business of eating – and she is taking to that quite well also. Momma is getting the hang of it also, and they are working on that at the hospital this morning while I am here at the house getting all of you fine people updated.
Speaking of which – I gotta run. I need to get a shower, and maybe a quick nap before I head back up there.
WooHoo! I’m a DADDY!
Thank you for stopping by, God bless you all, Wear Red on Fridays, and support the Freedom Project!
So it’s too late to get in on the Baby Pool? LOL
Congratulations you two! Her 1st date is just around the bend, so get your speech and shotgun ready lol!
Speech: memorized
Shotgun: cleaned, locked, and loaded
Shovel: in the trunk
40 acres of land: still shopping
I know the feeling Cary, when my Son was born I was in awe of him, he was so small and helpless and every time I held him I got a tear too, and it’s OK Marine, it’s called being human, and having real LOVE in your heart…
Congratulations to you and the wife, that’s a beautiful baby…
Thanks, Fred! I appreciate you stopping by!
Only a parent understands the love you feel for your child, especially at that first moment of life. Mine are 21 (son) and 16 (daughter). My daughter’s dates have been minimal, she’s being careful, because she knows that her first serious boyfriend must meet me, as I clean my gun, and scratch his name on a bullet.
Congrats! I am so happy for you. You are in my prayers, and my heart.
And what a gorgeous child. How’d that much beauty come from you? Just kiddin. God Bless.

Congrats Cary! What a beautiful family. I am so happy for you three.
I still rememer holding my son for the first time, over 17 years ago, lol!! It’s something you will treasure for the rest of your lives.
(Do fret too much over the c-section. It’s what was best for Madison.)
Congratulations to you, Tmbwitw, and Madison!
I’m glad that all turned out well. Quite a pretty young gal you’ve got there. Let the sleepless nights begin! LOL.
Take care bro.
A lovely young lady…and a tax deduction too. 🙂 Congratulations!
I thought I had left a message earlier but now see I must not have pressed send. –
Blessings to you and yours Cary – May Madison grow up in the strength love, power, holiness and joy of the Lord!
It’s about time!
Glad everything turned out well, though you’ll need to step up for the first few months while TMBWitW is recovering from the surgery.
I hove no doubt you are already on ‘active duty’.
Blessings bro and T.
Congratulations Cary and family…
A proud papa to say the least….
