Baby and Life Updates

I have been so bad at posting! Life is just catching up with us! I'm going to have to add some pictures soon. I lent my sister my computer for a few weeks and just recently got it back but lost the power cord as soon as I did! I am so tired of losing things! I have a million pictures and videos to get off of my phone and onto my computer.

Let's start with Baby Carroll
We went in my for my 38 week and 4 day appointment today. Nothing has changed at all. I haven't progressed a bit! We went ahead and filled out the paperwork to schedule my c-section. I'm waiting for the scheduler to give me a call to confirm our time and date. Looks like Baby Shep will make his appearance on Wednesday 4/16. We are so excited and fingers crossed that all goes well I'm looking forward to being home with baby to celebrate Easter. Most of his things are ready to go. The bumpers were finished on Sunday and I'm waiting on a changing table cover and pillow. My mom is making the bed skirt but I have to wait to get the extra fabric back from the seamstress before she can complete them. The hospital bags are packed. I spent a ton of time this weekend monogramming a bunch of stuff for Shep and feel good that I've gotten most of it done. I need to do a few more blankets and I'm good to go! I'm still feeling really good but can definitely tell that baby is putting some pressure on me.

Emma Cate:
We went to an Easter egg hunt on Sunday and this little lady proceeded to vomit all over the place about 2 minutes before the start of the egg hunt. I tried to remove her from the hunting area as quickly as possible but she really wanted to hunt for eggs so we did our best to collect eggs in our stinky clothes. At first we thought she thew up because she had been crying over the Easter bunny (character phobia) but then she continued to throw up for the next 5 hours or so at home. She was so pitiful! Luckily she was done with the puking by 9 and slept soundly in her crib all night. I stayed home with her on Monday and she definitely needed it. By last night she was back to her normal self though. She is sassy and so funny. She is opinionated and knows EXACTLY what she wants. She doesn't always speak clearly so we end up taking her around the kitchen so she can show us what she wants. Yesterday she kept saying "paya" over and over again. I finally realized that she wanted dried papaya which she hasn't had in weeks. It amazes me how much she can remember!

Holden:
Still our loving but crazy boy. I love Holden's combination of mommy's sweetheart and all-boy. He'll throw a baseball with some might and run to give me the biggest hug a second later. You are pretty obsessed with your new truck pjs and refuse to take them off the next morning. You carry them around like a blanket. Just yesterday you decided you wanted a cape and kept bringing me your blanket to tie around your neck. I probably retied it 50 times. The night that Sassy got sick, you were super concerned about her. You kept asking about her everywhere we went. You would see something pink and it would remind you of her. You love your sassy so much! At the same time, you love to antagonize her and steal her lovey. What a little brother! You LOVE to sing and we sing head and shoulders, wheels on the bus, and abc's a LOT!
