Carolina's room

We are pretty close to being finished. A special thanks to the ever-so-talented Icenhower girls for all the bedding and curtains, and Aunt Nat for rearranging the room and adding so many great things....(i.e. letters, shelves, etc, etc....)

She's here!!!!

Carolina Bleu Sikes came into this world in a whirlwind of excitement. After being in labor (WITHOUT pain meds....not my choice) from 5pm to midnight. Miss Carolina decided she had had enough and let her blood pressure start dropping with each of mommy's contractions. Finally the dr arrived and decided the best this was for a csection! AMEN FOR HIM! Being in labor without meds was NO FUN!!! I'm still suffering from the aftershocks of back labor....by far some of the worst pain I have ever felt...so props to the women who go "all natural"....but YOU ARE CRAZY!!! :) Spinal drugs ARE MY FRIEND!!
Carolina is absoutely TINY! The hospital finally went and bought some preemie diapers....and even those fall off her little hiney! She is a true girly girl....a closet full of clothes and NOTHING to wear! Seriously NOTHING fits her. Mom and another friend went and bought out all the preemie outfits that they could find! She's all set now....now we just need a place to go to show them off! :)
We are all home and doing great! She is absolutely perfect....an angel. She has her days and nights mixed up a bit right now, but hopefully we can get that changed soon!! Mama needs her sleep.
My first picture!

Reproduction...scary induction!!!

Think GREASE II!!!

Yes, I'm losing it. I'm a little on the freaked out side b/c I'm going to have a baby 5 days!!!!! Holy Moly!! As much experience as I have had with babies and kids in general, I don't think it ever prepares you for having a brand new life in your care....your responsibility. I know everything will be fine, I guess it's just the anticipation of it all.

I keep having dreams about delivery, about how I get to the hospital, what she looks like, etc. I just have a feeling this little one has red hair...we'll see shortly. Who knows. I had coal black hair when I was born, then changed to brown, to toe-head blonde. It's just so exciting. I want to see myself and Jonas in her...pick out what traits she has of each of us. Just amazing to me to think about it all.

I have had a whirlwind the last 5 years.

2002-
I quit my fulltime good paying job, went back to school, and ended a 7 year relationship...best decision EVAR!!

2004
turned 30, graduated from college...finally, got a job, and met back up with the man I always said I would marry

2005
got engaged, (got custody of kiddos), got married, became a mommy, got pregnant, had a miscarriage with twins

2007
got pregnant with a precious baby GIRL and now here we are!! Whoa!

I just am looking forward to some quiet time with this precious new life that I have dreamed about all my life.

I am so blessed!!!
