Caroline Elizabeth Clyde

Born May 15th * 6 lbs 7oz * 19.25"
I was induced and my labor was only 2.5 hrs. I think I pushed maybe 5 times? I'm glad I didn't go natural b/c I went from a 5 to a 10 in 30 minutes... grateful I didn't have to feel that! It all happened so fast and it was a night & day experience from Preston's delivery (which pushing alone took 2.5hrs). We are amazed at the color and amount of hair she has. Preston had the same color and see how he's turned out? We're so grateful she's Finally here and in our arms!!

Caroline's Baby Nursery... Finally some pictures!!!

Well this is what I've been up to lately and why I've been checked out of the blogging world for the past month... Decorating our babie's nursery. It's still a work in progress b/c I haven't purchased the wall paper yet and I still want to buy a chandlier. But I'm so happy with the colors and how it's all come together. I had a wonderful, sweet girl named Murvy make all my baby bedding thanks to Kattie who referred me to her... a task I wasn't feeling up to doing myself and she did such a fantastic job! She custom makes bedding to whatever your liking and the best part, she only charged me $100 for everything. She made us the crib skirt, bumper, 2 sets of sheets, and 4 decorative pillows. Her info:

This is my very first quilt!! It took me way long to finish but it turned out better than I'd hoped. My sweet mother-in-law Jeanette helped me out a lot and let me use her sewing machine. I wouldn't have finished it if it weren't for her. She's awesome. And now i have my own sewing machine thanks to my mom!! So I'm excited to do more projects!!!


I made this square pillow... my first pillow ;o)

When I found this mirror at an antique mall it was love at first sight!!! I'm going to hang this up behind the baby glider. Look at that happy boy... he's so excited for his sister to come. He talks about Caroline everyday ;o)

ZZZzzz...

Man I'm exhausted! I feel like I'm in my 1st trimester of pregnancy again. I probably slept a good 10-11 hours last night and all I wanted to do today was sleep some more! Preston has a big boy bed now and I fell asleep on it while he was playing in his room with his toys... He kept saying "come-on mommy" every other minute to get me to play with him. I felt so bad b/c most of our day consisted of Preston watching Curious George 4-5 times (the cartoon, not the movie), playing by himself with his toys, and me trying to get rest any opportunity I could. The past few days have been like this... Isn't this feeling supposed to happen after the baby is born? Geesh.

Preston's 1st Movie

Tonight I decided to take Preston out for a night on the town since Daddy had to take his last final tonight (Wooo! Yeeeaaaaya! Go Tyler).
We saw Monster vs. Aliens and I'd like to say that it was a good movie but I didn't get to watch a good portion of it due to my 2 yr old... Who takes their 2 yr old to the movies?!! Oh yea, Me! I thought I'd try it thinking he'd be content enough to sit their and enjoy eating popcorn and candy. Nope.

(Sarah- the whole thing I said about "terrible twos" I take it back! Because tonight Preston was TERRIBLE!!!)

Luckily we sat between 2 couples who were so understanding and forgiving. Here's a play-by-play of the night: At first Preston was mesmorized by the big screen and big seat. He sat in it fine (except he wasn't quite heavy enough for the seat cushion to go down all the way. We fixed that with a booster). We ate popcorn and he yelled out things he saw on the screen like, "Moon!", "Angurber!"(hamburger), "Rock!", "UH-OH!", "OH NO!"... all of these were followed by Preston turning to the couple next to us telling them, "Shhh!" after I'd shoosh him and ask him to be soft. I rarely give him candy but I kept cramming it in his mouth tonight to get the kid to be quiet. This must have given him a sugar high b/c he couldn't keep still! He kept going to both couples sitting beside us and sitting on their laps!!!! I was So Embarrassed! One couple were grandparents with their well behaved and older grandkids and the other must have been parents b/c they handled Preston fine. Well a good 3/4 in the movie he threw a horrible tantrum spilling the popcorn all over and knocking me in the face with his head all b/c he wanted to get down and run around. That was it for me. I picked him up and the last shred of dignity I had and left. It was a night from HELL. I'm not taking him to another movie... EVER!

My Pregnancy Status

I had another ultrasound last week to check on the placenta and see where we were at with everything.

...Going back to my 21 week ultrasound, the Dr was concerned that my placenta was too close to the opening of my cervix, which if it did cover it eventually I'd have "placenta previa" or partial placenta previa and have to deliver Cesarean section.

Well, last weeks ultrasound revealed no placenta near the cervix. I was so releaved! It had moved up as hoped and prayed for... I wanted to jump off the table and do a victory dance! I'm 31 weeks pregnant right now so I had to wait a frustrating and stressful 10 weeks to find out this news.

Even though I'm so releaved that I don't have to deliver c-section, I'm not completely in the clear. I have to go back next week for another ultrsound screening. The Dr is a little concerned with the babies size b/c she's measuring rally small for how far along I am (about 3 lbs). He wants to measure her growth and see how she's progressing in size. I'm not too terribly worried as long as she doesn't try to come early! Preston was born 2 days late and only weighed 6 lbs. I just have small babies and my Mom also had small babies. I was only about 6 lbs as well. Like I said, if she'll just hang tight and continue bakin in mama's oven for then next 8 weeks then everything will be just fine. I would love to have a fat chuncky baby but honestly, I'm really grateful I only have to push out 6lb babies.
