Bring on the Bows

Our sweet baby girl is finally here!!! I can't TELL you how nice it is NOT to be pregnant any more. Can I just say that I am a fan of being induced - it went so well. We went to the hospital around 5:30 am and had her just before 2 pm, much faster than with Cooper. Plus I didn't feel like I had been hit by a truck when I came home from the hospital. My doctor says it's because my body knew what to do since it was my 2nd pregnancy.


Here's our first picture together after they took me to my room





Randy got some snuggle time in with her as well...


Cooper didn't want much to do with her in the hospital, but when we came home he decided he liked her after all and was probably a little too affectionate at first. He's been a wonderful big brother - minus the extra tantrums he's displayed which I think are attributed to not being the only focus in the home.

Here's a little clip of Cooper saying, " hi baby CJ". I'll post more when I'm not so TIRED.

Congratulations! She is beautiful. I love how Cooper is talking to her, I could only imagine what Grace would do if we had a little baby, scary thought. Get in those little cat naps when you can ;) Enjoy!

I love her so much already! Yay! Hope Cooper's not too much of a handful with baby Caroline's entrance . . . I can only imagine. What a job, but what a blessing!
