Reminiscing and Wondering
Like every other mom-to-be, I have been daydreaming and wondering what my little boy will look like! I can't believe that in 14 days, I will know his face so well. I cannot wait! I'm hoping he'll have the hair that Caroline had. If the heartburn old wife's tale is true, he may be born with a mullet. So, as I was wondering and thinking, I went back to our photos on the computer and pulled up Caroline's hospital pictures from when she was born. Don't worry, I won't bring out my blue "skinny" pajama shots, but here are some pictures of our sweet baby girl and those first days we spent together in the hospital. I can't believe how tiny she was...

Donna...I'll never forget when Dolly and I visited you & Roy in the hospital right after Caroline was born. What a special memory and she was/is such a beautiful little girl...I'm sure Roy Austin will be adorable too. :)
That seems like just yesterday. She WAS so teeny. It's amazing to see how she's grown and sad too. It's fun to be able to do things with them as they grow but sad b/c you always want them to be your teeny little sweet baby!
I'll have to say that in my first week after AP was born and I was having the nursing struggles, it was SOOO comforting to remember your tearful night that Dolly and I brought you dinner and to know I wasn't the first or last to be so emotional. If I hadn't of known that, I would've been even MORE emotional! Even though it wasn't at the same time, it made me feel not so alone which you kinda do in those first days. You're gonna be a pro now!
Christy! Weren't you there when I was bawling and I had to have you, Suzanne and Mitchell leave the room?! Funny:)
I can't wait to see you next weekend!
Hannah, I'm LOL! That was the roughest night I had and I'm so glad you were able to witness it! I was trying to hold it in, but I couldn't take it any longer and I think you witnessed one of my few breakdowns in life:) It's a funny memory now and one I'm hoping doesn't repeat in the next few weeks!
Donna, NO WAY! I was just thinking this afternoon about your "skinny" picture. I don't know what made me think on it,but I was thinking of how mom and I spent the eve on Margaux's birth, looking at pictures on her computer. Your "skinny" picture came up on the screen and we both started laughing SO HARD! We couldn't stop. I am laughing now thinking of it. Anyway, all of us moms think we look great in the few hours after having our little ones. There is just something about not having that big tummy that makes us feel instantly skinny. I love you, you look great!
First, I have to say that the thought of having a baby come out with a mullet is tooooo funny, Donna! Caroline was so cute even right after she was born, I've never seen those pictures before, they're sweet. I'm already daydreaming about what Baby T is going to look and I still have 4 1/2 months to go! Can't believe you only have two more weeks...woo-hoo! so exciting!
ps. Can you post the "skinny" pic? It sounds hilarious!
Donna, this makes me even more excited for "peanut's" birth. I can't wait for those sweet first moments like the ones you captured on film. So precious!
okay, the reason i had to delete my post is because i got so excited at the pictures and i didn't READ the post and i thought you had your baby...and then after i posted it, i said, "gosh, what a surprise for them to have another girl when they thought for sure it would be a boy..." And then I saw the "12 days to go" thing, and thought--wow it came early too...and then i just felt silly after i read your post about "reminiscing." Guess that's why i always was told in school to read my directions FIRST.
LOL at Joy!! Oh how we miss you around here!
Joy! You're so funny! I didn't think about that...the pictures throwing people off! You're hilarious!
Yes, I was there when you started bawling...however, I forgot about that story until now...haha. I guess whenever you're the one crying, you remember!!
