Caroline Margaret joined the family last month -- very quickly and with only a little drama. On her birthday, I went to work for the morning, came home for lunch, and then took a nap, intending to go back in for the afternoon. My 1pm appointment cancelled, so I decided to stay home till the next appointment came around. (One of the perks of living close to the office -- especially handy for afternoon naps!) Around 2pm my water broke, and I wasn't having contractions yet, so I waited till 3 for Bryan to come home from work so we could go to the hospital together. At the time, I expected to have at least a few more hours to go at least. Well, Caroline made her appearance at 4:28 pm -- only about an hour or so after we arrived at the hospital! Luckily, everything worked out well, although my OB did have to RUN across the hospital to make it in time.
So, she's now almost a month old and has been a great baby. She and Carson have become acquainted a little, although he's not really sure whether or not she's interesting yet. We've been lucky to have visits from both sets of grandparents and Aunt Shannon with Emily and Julia. Caroline also got to meet her middle-name-sake Aunt Margaret on a trip to Texarkana over Labor Day weekend.
Here are a few of our favorite pictures from the first month:
Her first photo -- check out that weight! Big girl!
First headband (haven't decided what we think of these yet -- I'm sure we'll be convinced!)

Here we are enjoying the fall-ish weather on DeeDee's porch in Texarkana. Thank goodness for cool!
