Eve Bright Carter

Eve weighed in at 6 pounds 10 ounces and 20 inches long. She is my smallest baby but of course that would make sense because she was early! She currently weighs 8 pounds! Eve was named after my Grandma Evelyn Bright Shumway. The last few days of my Grandmas life I got to spend with her in the hospital and we had a conversation about sending me a little girl.  I told her if she sent me a little girl I would just have to name her after her Grandma that sent her.


This is my Grandma at my graduation April 2006 (I was pregnant with Hinckley)


I loved this woman! And I feel very blessed and honored to have her namesake in our home. Grandma wanted all her great grandkids to call her GG so our little Eve goes by all sorts of fun nicknames. GG, Evie, little Bright and I am sure more will come as she gets older. My boys LOVE her. I mean LOVE her so much. I have to really watch Zane because he will clobber her with kisses if I am not right there next to him. Chandler out of all the kids has shown the most interest in her and wants to hold and kiss her all the time. He asks, "what she says mom?" He wants to know what she is saying and just loves to be with her.

This picture Troy took while I was still in surgery. We were not allowed to bring any cameras into the OR so this was while she was getting weighed and everything!

Eve Bright was definitely a surprise but she has been the sweetest addition to our family. People use to tell me there wasn't much difference between boy and girl babies and I say NO WAY! They are totally different and I love that I have been able to experience both.
