I'm almost 2 weeks old :)

Well we are getting somewhat adjusted to life with our new little guy, luckily Mimi came to visit last week and was a HUGE help; she got up with Carter so mom and dad could get some much needed rest. Hunter is getting used to his new brother and gives him kisses each day and makes sure he's ok :) So far Carter is doing what babies do....eat, sleep and make dirty diapers. Here are a few pics

Carter Hale Hilton has arrived!

Well the big day finally arrived and our precious baby boy is here! It all started on Sunday night when I started getting contractions every 10 minutes and they lasted ALL NIGHT LONG. I went to the Dr. on Monday afternoon and I was already 4 cm and my water broke right in the Dr.'s office so....off to the hospital I went. I was very lucky and had a fairly easy labor and a super Coach cheering me on! Our bundle of joy was born at 10:46 pm June 14 weighing 7 lbs 10 oz and 20 inches long.

Here is our first official picture as a family, I think Carter was maybe 30 minutes old here :)

Here is getting to eat at the hospital, he has really gotten the hang of this and eats like a little moose

Here we are on our way from home the hospital, as you can see....he was so excited he couldn't contain himself

As soon as we got home mom went straight to bed for a nap and when I woke up I found this....how sweet

Here is big brother Hunter making sure his little brother is ok. Hunter has been really great with the baby and is really curious of this thing that makes really high pitched noises

We survived our first night home and here is Carter taking a nap after breakfast

Here are a few shots of his room

Baby Shower

We recently made a trip back to TX for an incredible baby shower and then a little R&R in Rockport.

This was Baby H's first fishing trip, he didn't catch anything but he still had fun!

Girls Weekend in Chicago

This past weekend, my friends came up to Chicago for a girls weekend of shopping, chatting and baby fun. Thanks for a great weekend ladies!
Here we are on the Magnificent Mile downtown

They are such wonderful friends, they surprised me with a baby shower at The Signature Room on the top of The Hancock Tower

They really know how to treat a pregnant lady, give her a taste of all the desserts (they were delicious!)

What a great group of friends!

Won't Tito look adorable in this monkey outfit!

We can't forget the puppies

We ended our visit with a quick trip on The El (the above ground subway here in Chicago) over to Wrigleyville were we checked out Wrigley field...GO CUBS!

Hi!

Welcome to our first blog posting. Here are a few pics of myself and Tito (for those of you who don't know...Tito is what Clint decided to call our son while he's in the womb) I can't believe I'm already 6 months along. Tito is a very active little guy and really gets going around 9:30 pm, I hope that doesn't mean he'll be up all night :) So far I've been feeling great and I'm just ready for the weather to warm up so Hunter, Tito and I can go for walks.



Clint and Hunter have been busy getting certified in the Animal Assistance Therapy program at our local hospital. Now Hunter goes to the hospital and retirement home to visit patients and brighten their day, he loves all the attention! FYI...he'll have his own trading card to give out so if you want an autograph copy you better let him know now!
