Finally updating the blog!!

Sorry it has taken me so long to get around to updating the blog. The past few months have been super busy! We have been having a blast with Caroline. I can't believe that she is already 14 weeks old! It's amazing how she changes each day! Below are some slide shows of what we have been up to the past few months. As you can see Caroline has already been on so many adventures! She's had her 1st girls trip to the beach, 1st Halloween, she's been to meet Santa for the 1st time in Atlanta and her 1st Thanksgiving last week! I'm going to try and start posting updates each week. Looking forward to everyone meeting our lil girl! :)

Caroline is going to be here Monday!!!

We are so excited!! Caroline is going to be here Monday!! We went to the dr yesterday for our weekly check-up and he brought up the option that if I was ready he could induce. Well of course I'm ready!! :) Besides the fact that I've been super uncomfortable lately I am dying to meet our Sweet Caroline!! Yesterday I was dilated 4cm, so if she doesn't decide to come this weekend then she will for sure be here Monday!! I'll be sure to post some pictures! Reality is starting to set in that we are about to have our lil girl. Very excited and nervous too!! Below are some pictures of the finished nursery! Looking forward to many memories made in there with Caroline!! I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!

We received several more great gifts for Caroline. We are definitely ready for her arrival now! I can't believe she is going to be here in 5 more weeks!! We are getting so excited, anxious and a lil nervous. Having a newborn is going to be a whole new experience! Can't wait! Below are some pictures from the shower.

Todd's 30th Birthday

Last week Todd turned the BIG 30!!! We started the celebration off with a cookout Saturday night at our house. The weather was perfect! Everyone enjoyed some beer, BBQ and cornhole!! Tuesday night we went to dinner at Tony's Pasta to celebrate with Todd's parents and then Wednesday night we went to dinner at Alleia's to celebrate with my parents. It was definitely an eventful week!! Below are some pictures!!

Caroline's 4D Ultrasound

Last Friday we had the 4D ultrasound which didn't go exactly as planned. We discovered that my fluid is low. Right now I'm at 7 which isn't alarming right now. He said that if it gets down to 5 then he would start to worry more. The dr told me that he's not putting me on bed rest but that he wants me to start taking it easy, stop exercising and start coming in every week to check my fluid levels. He also said the chances of her coming early have increased. Ideally he would like for her to stay in there until 35-38 weeks which I'm currently in my 32nd week. We go back to the dr this Friday. I'll keep everyone posted on what we find out. Hope everyone has a great week!! Below are the pictures from the 4D ultrasound. They didn't turn out that good due to my fluid being low.
