34 weeks and Counting



Wow, all I can say is that Mother's Day now means much more to me since I know what it takes to incubate a baby. Women who survive the 9 months of pregnancy are my idol, because at this point, I want Caroline out :) I am sure I will miss being pregnant, well.... probably not. We had another baby shower and it was a blast. All of our closest friends were there and the beer was flowing, at least for everyone besides the 3 preggo chicks there. I truly think that we are set for Caroline's big arrival, as much as anyone can be. So that was 2 weeks ago, and this last weekend, my family all converged on the ranch to help celebrate it's 100th birthday. It is an amazing place that holds so much of the families history. I can't wait till Caroline can play in the fields, float in the river, and take a sense of pride in how generations before us have been molded by this special place. After 10 long hours (roundtrip) in the car, I was exhausted and uncomfortable, but it is crazy to think that my next road trip will have a car seat in the back :) We got back to Dallas at about 2:30 in the morning, and my wonderful husband had bought me a Mother's Day bouquet and a card. He is truly amazing and I know that he will be the best dad. It is crazy to think we are roughly 40 days away from having our own Sweet Caroline.
