Life with 2...

is CRAZY!
It's
fun,
overwhelming,
wonderful,
comical,
exhausting, 
but mostly just CRAZY.
We only had to stay at MUSC for 5 days,
so we are all home and adjusting to our new life
as a family of 4!

Since it's been nearly a month since my last post,
I will start with some pictures of our time at the hospital.

Our first picture of Caroline

Grabbing onto Daddy's fingers


A body shot... poor little thing with the oxygen, IV and monitors :(
Yay! Oxygen removed 12 hrs after birth!
First time I got to hold Caroline

First time Daddy got to hold her

All snuggled up
First feeding from Mommy

A new hair accessory!

Ella Rae came to visit!

She wasn't really supposed to go into the NICU (too young) but we snuck her in for a quick visit anyways

One of our nurses made Caroline's hat have a little bow :)

Another accessory: the sweet preemie hat Gigi crocheted for her


Finally in a real bassinet
Daddy so proud of his new girl

When we were ready to go home!
Up next...
The first few weeks at home!

Miscellany Monday- a day late

Image
Here is my Miscellany group of pictures for Miscellany Monday a day late. I began this post on Monday, but then Ella Rae had other plans for my afternoon haha. *warning: picture overload!* Starting with our trip to the pumpkin patch on Friday afternoon We didn't get to actually see the field of pumpkins because we missed the hayride down to the patch by about 10 mins. That's okay because Ella Rae still had fun! One things for sure, she is always on the move. As you can tell, Ella will never look at the camera. There were so many cute photo ops through out the farm, but out doodle was more interested in checking out the props haha. Oh well, we made memories and that is all that matters! Next is the Pumpkin Carving Party Saturday night That's a picture of our traditional jack-o-lantern. I'm a dum-dum and only remembered to get pictures at the end of the night, probably because thats when Ella Rae finally started to calm down. There was a bounce house, playground and ...

I was in charge of the invitations, decorations and games. They are doing a teddy bear theme in the baby's nursery so we tried to incorporate teddy bears throughout the entire shower. Let's start with the invitations. My sister and brother in law have decided to wait until Baby T (as we like to call him/her) comes to find out their gender. I knew I wanted the invitations to be gender neutral, but it was difficult to find something that represented my sister. I decided to hand make her invitations. I printed the words on to card stock and used scrap book paper as an accent to off set the white card. Then I put different zoo animals and boy/girl decorations around the cards and added a little teddy bear to each one. Each card I made was different, and I created 50 total!!! It was a ton of work but defini...
