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!!

Christmas 08

We all had a wonderful Christmas! When I download my pics I will post some but until then I will let you know how it was. Georgia got LOTS of stuff! We started with Christmas Eve at Wayne and Leah's after church, the kids had a great time. We got home and fed the reindeer and we even saw Rudolph's nose in the sky!!! hahaha We were quick to bed so Santa wouldn't skip our house! She did wake up early but only to snuggle with her Mama! We didn't wake up til about 8 and were in awe at our Santa gifts. He left a bike, a crib and bouncy seat for Bitty Baby and get ready, a pink 22 gun! I don't know who liked it more, Georgia or JD! We had to go to Ward Lake to "shot some deer." Miraculously we got a mama, baby and Daddy, the best hunt all year! It took all day to open our presents because we had to play with everything as we opened it! Santa even left stuff for Caroline! She got a bouncy seat and some clothes and a stocking full of cool baby essentials! Also, Georgia and Caroline got a flat screen tv with a DVD player for their play room!! I think Georgia has figured out how to work it better than us. Everyone has crashed and I am ready to get my house back! Merry Christmas to All!!
Katherine, Anne Hollis, Georgia and Hayes celebrating Christmas Eve. Georgia had a great time hanging out with her cousins! So much fun that before it was over she was caught laying down in the hallway for a nap!! We decided it was time to go at that point.
Here is our visit with Santa while at the Sherard's Cookie Exchange. We had a great time and so glad the Sherard's have such a fun party!

Baby Update

We went to the doctor on Monday for a checkup. I passed my glucose test!!! Blood pressure was WAY down! All great news. I go back in a month and then I will start going every 2 weeks. I can't believe we only have about 10 more weeks! I am SOOO not ready. This coming Monday I will be 29 weeks!

We Made It Home

We survived Disney World!! The last day was kinda slow. We finished Epcot and attempted Animal Kingdom. That night we went to the parade and fireworks at Magic Kingdom! Animal Kingdom was ok, it seemed more crowded than the other parks but it is also set up with narrower walkways so it seemed to be more crowded. Georgia also was not cooperating! She NEVER wants to ride in a buggie or stroller anywhere we go so we didn't bother with it at Disney World. Well, by the time we made it to Animal Kingdom she was BEGGING for a stroller!! So we gladly rented one but she didn't want to get out of it for nothing! We had several meltdowns and finally gave up and went to the room for a nap! Slept 2 and a half hours and was ready for the parade!! Absolutely loved it. Snow White shook her hand and of course we have a picture of it but I don't have those pics downloaded yet so hopefully I will have some time tonite or in the morning to download pics and I will post them!

Walt Disney World

Well today was busy, but we have called it an early night! We went to Magic Kingdom to finish up and of course Georgia had to ride Splash Mountain again and AGAIN!! Would have done it another time but she got in trouble by the guy in charge for standing up in the boat!! I have a feeling we will probably have to ride it again when we go for the Wishes Parade tomorrow night! We got to see Crush today at Epcot and he talked to Georgia and the parentals! She LOVED that!

I got to ride a kiddie ride with Georgia first thing this morning! We rode the Flying Dumbos!

Georgia HAD to have one of the huge lollipops that seem to be everlasting, but she really did do a good job licking it to almost nothing!

Disney Bound

DISNEY BOUND!! Also our first trip on an airplane! Absolutely loved it!

Not 2 hours into our first day and we saw Ashton at Hollywood Studios! This is where we saw Arial and Playhouse Disney!

Here is Pluto at breakfast this morning. Mickey, Lilo and Stitch were also there. Georgia got to parade around with them shaking moroccas!
Georgia LOVED Splash Mountain and is a roller coaster "junkie." She even got to ride Space Mountain. She figured out that little heigth deal, she wasnt' quite tall enough for Space Mt. but we figured we would give it a try, she calmly walked up to the line on her tiptoes so that her forehead hit the sign and they let her through!! LOVES roller coasters!!!!

Cinderella's BEAUTIFUL castle!!

Waiting to eat a late dinner with Cinderella and then we have dinner....

OH MY GOODNESS IT'S CINDERELLA!!!! Never been more awake or excited in her entire life! Everywhere Cinderella went Georgia had her eyes glued to her! Also, with Cinderella we also got to meet Prince Charming, Stepmother and the step sisters. The step sisters were absolutely hilarious!! The first thing Georgia showed Stepmother was that her dress had Cinderella on it! hahah JD took her back to the room and before I made it back she was in her pj's SOUND asleep! She has had 2 very long and fun filled days. What a trooper though. She has told us it was time for bed both nights!!

So far we are having a ball and even seen John Daho, of all people. JD and Georgia went to get on a roller coaster that I can't ride, and they stood in line together!! That's when you know you know tooo many people! I hope everyone enjoys the pictures, I will TRY to get more on tomorrow night. We are headed to finish Magic Kingdom in the morning and then to Epcot.
