Our Family of Five!!!

We had been patiently awaiting the arrival of our sweet baby girl! On Monday, we were one week out and I had thoughts, or hopes that is, that she might be coming late. All day Monday I was having contractions, but nothing to the point that told me it was time. It was finally a beautiful day after all of the rain we had been having, so the boys and I played and played...little did we know that it was the last day that we would officially be a family of four!!!
Early Tuesday morning(about 4:00), Shane was woken by me saying something like "oh no!" He instantly jumped out of bed and knew what had happened...my water broke. We called my dear friend Ms. Kelly and she came over to stay with the boys so we could quickly get to the hospital. She was so sweet to let us call her again so early in the morning...especially since we had to call her when we had the scare 3 weeks before. We headed to the hospital and I can honestly say I have NEVER seen Shane drive as fast as he did that morning. We made it in record time.
We arrived at the hospital and were checked in a little before 6. Things went really quickly and extremely smoothly...it was definitely a smoother experience than the craziness with Caden. We were there a little over 4 hours.
At 10:04 a.m. our sweet, healthy, and beautiful Caroline Hadley was born! She was 7lbs 12 oz and 20 inches long. She has the chubbiest cheeks and looks just like her brothers when they were born. Caroline is perfect and we absolutely fell in love with her from the moment we heard her first cry and saw her sweet face. She is definitely a Daddy's girl already and her big brothers are in love!!!
The boys adore her and she is definitely going to be very well protected! :) Caleb is now fighting with Shane over who gets to hold her! :)
Thank you Lord for such an amazing blessing. Words can't express how grateful and honored we are to have this sweet baby girl in our lives! Our cup runneth over!
