Caroline Update

Yesterday, the doctor said everything looks good. I go back in 2 weeks as planned! He won't do a section until March 9th. Which bums me out because this is mine and JD's anniversary! Oh well, I wasn't going to wait any longer so that seems to be the day unless she decides to come sooner, only time will tell! We got some cute 4D pics of her! She also already weighs 5lbs and 4ozs with nothing but cheeks!! She and Georgia's 4D pics look a lot alike! She is already so precious, I can't wait to see her in my arms. Georgia had to take a picture to school today to show everybody! She has got to be the proudest big sister I have ever seen. Hope you enjoy the pics. The ultrasound lady said she is in the 76th percentile! Another BIG baby!

Baby Update

Well, we have decided on a name! Caroline O'Neil Dulaney, she has lots of people she is named after! First, knew I wanted to use O'Neil for JD and his grandaddy(Roselyn's daddy) Charles O'Neil. I wanted to keep the initials C.O. becasue this is what people called his grandaddy. Since JD was such good friends with Caroline McMurchy and she was a cousin of mine and sweet friend I came up with Caroline O'Neil. After all this was decided I was reading in a baby name book and found out that Caroline is the female of Charles. I would have never put that together but that is what the book said so needless to say this baby girl has lots of great people she will be named after!
Now, Wednesday I got a little scared. Monday I was 31 weeks, which is so hard to believe and I am so not ready! That afternnoon I was really tired and have been feeling different for several days but I was going to tough it out and hang in there. Tuesday, I worked all day and by lunch my lower back was killing me. I tried everything I could think of to get comfortable, but finally gave up and went home to lay down. I felt much better and on Wednesday told JD I was just going to stay home all morning and do what I needed to from home. My brother picked up Georgia from school becasue I had Directv here!! Well, I told G we would go eat pizza for lunch since JD was at a meeting. I started getting ready and immediately started having back pain and cramps! I calmly called the doctor's office and of course they wanted me there ASAP! So then I get worried, Georgia is acting like a spoiled brat and won't quit whining and crying, I know JD is at a meeting, I text him get nothing back, Roselyn is at an out of town funereal , my mom is at work, so then I just call JD and this point I am crying becasue I am scared and G won't stop crying!!! He is in town so I drop G off and head to Memphis by myself! JD had another meeting in Tunica. A big thanks to the Ross'! They let G come play while JD went to his next meeting and met me in Memphis. By the time he got there, I knew I was indeed having contractions and was going to be admitted for a little while to be monitored a little more, get fluids and some meds to hopefully stop the contractions! We stopped the contractions and then Caroline decided to make things even more interesting. She wouldn't be still so her heartbeat rose and they kept for another hour to see what the deal was. She finally got tired and rested so everything went back to normal and I finally got home about 9 o'clock Wednesday night. So for the time being I am to be resting until this coming Wednesday when I already had an appt and my 4D ultrasound scheduled! Since I have been home resting I have felt much better.
To make thing more interesting we are trying to start remodeling the guest room for G, so Caroline can have G's room. I have 6 weeks to go and really don't see how everything will come together in time but we will see! I will let everyone know how things go at the doctor Wednesday! Keep us in your prayers, Caroline needs to bake for a few more weeks!

Our Christmas Morning!

I know I am aweful, I am just now getting caught up with Christmas blogging. Sorry if some of it ends up out of order! We have so much going on this year with birthdays, Christmas and getting ready for Caroline! It seems every time I make plans to get everyone caught up I have something else to do instead! So this morning I am going to do it since I have been put to bed until at least Wednesday and that is a whole new story I will catch you up on in a minute.

Santa was so good to Georgia and her new sister Caroline! Georgia got a new bike, baby bed and bouncy seat for Bitty Baby and her Daddy's favorite a pink 22 gun! Caroline got a bouncy seat and some baby essentials in her stocking. They both got a flat screen tv with DVD player for their play room! Georgia had lots of fun opening presents for 2 people this year! I hope next year she doesn't get her feelings hurt when Caroline opens her own presents!

We love Arial and I found this Arial doll at Disney World and managed to get it home without her finding it!!

Georgia and her Daddy with the pink 22!! She looks almost as excited as he is!

Oh yeah, we had to go to Ward Lake to the rifle range Christmas Day to shoot and have our first lesson on how to handle a gun! JD is so glad she is finally old enough to start shooting her own gun! And according to Georgia she shot a whole family of deer, a daddy, mama and baby!! To only have the imagination of a 3 year old again!

We even have a pink sling that goes on it too, but my crazy pregnant self wrapped it up and put Anne Clark's name on it! Being such a wonderful friend and knowing that I must have gotten her a great present actually did research on it to figure out what it might be! I finally got a hold of her and told her what had happened!!
