Ashton Carter was born Sunday January 8th 2006, 7 weeks before his due date. He weighed 3lbs 13 oz and was 17.5 inches long.
The morning that my water broke with Ashton, I was very excited. He was our first boy, and I really didnt think that 7 weeks would make a huge difference in him health wise. Yes I was very naive at that time. We traveled the 63 miles to the Hospital and was checked in. They confirmed that my water had indeed broke, and that it had a good time before then. I had an infection and didnt even realize my temp was above 103. They started me on fluids and Meds and at 9:59 pm that night our first son was born. He came out with only one push and was taken away right away due to breathing issues. I was not allowed to see him till he was stable which was 12 hours later. They asked me if he had a name to write on his crib card and not wanting him to go without a name, we said Ethan. lol obviously that didnt stick.
Ashton got his first Blessing at 4 days old by Elders from the Cody Ward. That day was the day that brought about my Testimony in the Church and that it was indeed true. but that is another story i shall tell later. I got to hold Ashton for the first time when he was 1 week old. A week after that he was dicharged from the NICU and he went home with us :D
Ashton has had NO delays in his development at all. His only issue is his digestive ones, and that he has problems absorbing nutrients from food. He Is nearly 4 and is only 24 lbs so that give you an idea of how tiny he is lol. Also he has asthma due to his being early and like his sister has had pneumonia many times, 4 at last count. and been hospitalized twice for it.
Ashton Has reddish brown hair and chocolate brown eyes, and eye lashes that most girls would die for. He has a Heart of pure gold, and is our sensitive child. He HATES to have anyone upset with him, and will go out of his way to make sure that if he has made you made or upset that he somehow makes it better. Which usually is done by him saying " Mommy I love Your Heart" :D Ashton is going to grow into a wonderful man someday and make someone a very lucky wife.
Ashtons favorite colors are Green and Black. He LOVES Monkeys, Gorrillas and Dinosaurs. He is also a very quick learner and very observant of those and things around him. His favorite foods are pretty much anything..he is willing to try anything once but not everything agree's with him due to his digestive issues lol. he is very adventurous and loves to do new and explore new things.
Ashton is going to do great and wondeful things in this life and I know he is going to make his family proud and already has!
