Life with Caroline!!

Baby Caroline is doing great! Pat and I can't believe how much she has changed in just over a week. She is such a good baby, I hope she keeps this up! Last night she slept for 6 hours straight!! We were really excited about this. She is much more alert during the day. She seems to love all of the dark wood in our house. The banister, ceiling fan, and bar stools are her favorite things to look at! She also has made her mark at the pediatrician. She went two times over the last week, and both times decided to pee all over the examination table! It was quite funny! The nurse told us it happens all the time!

I can't stop taking pictures so I have tons to share!!

Caroline is here and we are very excited. Tuesday evening I started having strong contractions. I went to bed thinking it was going to be like the night before. At 2 o'clock I woke up and was sure I was in labor. An hour later I woke Pat up to tell him we needed to go to the hospital. By the time we got the the "test room" at the hospital I was already past 5 cm dilated. The Dr. said that we could start the epidural. After that things seemed to go really fast. I spent the morning finishing dilating, while Pat and I played cards, and read people magazine. My epidural was amazing I really had no pain! Then when it was time to push, we had to wait for the doctor. We started pushing at 2:15 and she was here by 2:45. For first time labor, with what I am told is a by everyone at the hospital is very big baby girl, it went really easy and smooth!

I can't tell you how blessed I feel. We are both so in love with her. Pat is an amazing dad, so hands on, and learning everything that he needs to. He and I have been working really well together, and I feel so lucky to have such a wonderful husband! She is amazing, I can't believe how in love with her I am. I just look at her and can't believe that she is my daughter. God has really blessed my family.

Here are some pictures of Caroline!

She has very chubby checks!!

I am Here!!

Still Waiting....but with news!

Caroline's due date as come and gone, everyones predictions as to when she will be here have passed, including both Pat's and mine. Over the past few days I have learned that I am A. not good at waiting B. that I like know when things are happening and definite dates. C. I do not do not sit around well.
Anyway, we went to the doctor today. We went ahead and scheduled an induction for Thursday morning. We are worried that if we wait any longer that she could be too big for me to deliver. We will keep everyone updated on this weeks developments!
