Update...

We are doing great here at the Carnahan residence! Having a baby really does change your whole life. I was always worried about having a baby just because I loved the relationship I had just with Benton. Bringing a baby into an already happy marriage was a scary thought for me. It seemed to me that married couples who had kids just fought about their children and were stressed out because of them. Benton and I rarely fought so I thought, gees why bring in a child and cause a bunch of tension? But to my delight we are doing fabulously and wouldn't go back to how it was before! Don't get me wrong we have had arguments now that we wouldn't have had if we hadn't had Cambree, but she's worth it. Our marriage has just grown stronger having Cambree. We have learned more about each other now that we are parents, and I thought we knew each other pretty dang well.

I really want to keep a loving relationship with Benton now that we have our little girl. So we decided to leave Cambree for the first time and go out on an actual date! I left her in the loving hands of my sister Chelsie, who I trust obviously with all my heart. I wasn't worried for a second, I know Chelsie loves her as her own.

Here we are at Chelsie's house leaving to go on our 1st date night post baby...

We had a ton of fun and need to make sure we have date nights at least monthly!

Now on to Cambree who is 2 months old! Seriously, I don't know where the time has gone. She is so much fun, I could sit and stare at her all day long and not get sick of it. She has started to coo and caa...translation...she makes the cutest little noises. I like to believe she is talking to me, so we sit and hold conversations, which is so much fun!

We went to her 2 month check up and she weighed 10.5 lbs so she is in the 50th percentile for weight and she is 23.25 inches long, which means she is in the 90th percentile for height. Who knew we'd have such a tall baby?

My father in law bought her the sweetest little outfit, she finally can fit in it...I love the big purple flower, too cute!!!

What a sweet post...I love all of your thoughts. A baby is defintely scary, but I think it is the greatest thing knowing that the two of you love this little tiny life more than anything. It is pretty special, having someone to share that with.

That flower is so cute and she looks just like YOU! She's so fun! Good job on the date night! Those are very much needed so make sure they keep them coming.

What a little darling!

So glad you are doing so well, and are so happy with your cute family. That was a very sweet post.

I wonder if she will be tall? The only person I can think of that's tall in your family is your dad - but Benton's mom is taller too right?! She's a cutie! Glad you guys made it out on a date - can't wait for our double next month!
