at 114 am on Saturday April 16, 2016, CJ entered our lives 12 days ahead of schedule.
we were to be induced on April 18 but Caroline decided she wanted to enter the word on her own terms, which was quite alright with us! For those that are interested, our water broke slowly over the day with minimal contractions so we were induce with oxytocin at 7pm and after three hours of mild contractions, 2 hours of intense contractions, and 25 minutes of pushing CJ arrived without any pain meds.
She weighed 8lb3oz, 20.5" long with a full head of hair and chubby cheeks.
Already i I can tell the difference between CJ and Julianne. We could never go anywhere for longer than an hour with Julianne needing to eat. Caroline feeds almost every 2-3 hours like clock work and is an excellent sleeper. My good friend says it's because my job while pregnant this time wasn't as stressful as before with Julianne. That most likely has some role in it all.

i was nervous how Julianne would react to her sister. She recieved a special new outfit from her auntie and arrived at the hospital and was instantly wanting to hug and kiss her baby sister! I couldn't have asked for any better reaction! This love remains and Julianne squeals in delight whenever baby and I enter the room. She wants to constantly hold CJ and kiss her. Except of course yesterday when we had newborn photos!
Balancing two under two so far is going good. Mind you it's only week one and I've had chad home for most of the time! The way I see it is many have done it before me and survived so I am sure amongst the ups and downs we too will survive!
