Baby Carly!

so I cant not post her birth story right?!? So I worked a normal day and then picked up Torie from preschool. She and I went to the karate studio so she could take class. I joked with several people that day about when the baby would be born. Torie played after class for a bit and we finally made it home a bit before 8pm. I got Torie cleaned up and into bed so I could check out some couponing web sites. I am really getting into clipping coupons and saving money. I talked to Paul when the studio closed and asked him to go to Subway. I really wanted a cold cut trio-which I never wanted until recently. Within 20 minutes I began having contractions. I knew they were probably the real thing because they were 1-3 minutes apart and intense. I actually had a contraction timer app downloaded to my droid and used it all the way to the hospital. After taking Torie to Aunt Kim's, we made our trip to the hospital in Tullahoma. It was 11 pm when we got there. Dr Good told the nurse to give me some Demerol and let me tell you-Paul has a very funny video of me. That medicine was something else, lol. I eventually got my epidural and was very thankful,after not having it with Torie. Dr Good was in surgery when I was ready to push, so I had to wait. Paul got a call on his cell about an hr later from Dr Good, telling Paul to say push! Now, you have know the background story-during 1 of Dr Good's karate classes his cell rang and Paul answered it saying "PUSH!" as a joke. It's been a long standing joke between the two. Dr Good was actually at my door when he called Paul. Those two are something else. My delivery was easy, it only took 3 contractions before our beautiful little girl was born. She weighed 6.4 lbs and was 20 inches and PINK. Since I was only 36 weeks, the ped is keeping an eye on her weight, but I will tell ya, the little girl is eating more at this point than Torie was!
Carly has the best big sister ever! Torie is very hands on, and wants to do everything for Carly. We have to keep a close eye on Torie because she will quickly scoop up Carly if we step out of the room. The good thing is that Torie has been watching us closely and knows how to pick her up and hold her. But I admit, it makes me nervous!
Torie has enjoyed the snow, playing with Paul in it for about an hour yesterday. They made a huge snowman and had a snowball fight. Torie was sad when they came inside.
I am enjoying this time with my family. It's so nice to be home and not have to worry about setting the alarm clock every night. I wish I could stay here!! But alas, I cannot. I will have to return to work soon.
