Caroline is doing VERY well! She is coming right along and is going to be the most beautiful baby EVER!!! An ultrasound picture did reveal Sean's worst nightmare- it looks like she is going to have my feet! God love her!!

As I was lying on the couch last night (unable to sleep yet again!) a crazy thought occurred to me- I only have 10 weeks before Caroline makes her big debut! Then an even crazier thought almost sent me flying off the couch- after she's born, I HAVE TO BRING HER HOME! I have been concentrating so much on being pregnant, labor and delivery that I haven't really given much thought that at the end of all of the above mentioned activities I'M GOING TO BE A MOM!!!! AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! Why didn't someone tell me. Someone is actually going to be 100% dependent on ME. Holy crap! I don't even depend on me 100%. What the heck do I know about raising a child. All of the babysitting and "practicing" on other people's kids has nothing to do with bringing home a child of my own. I have to say this is one of society's cruelest jokes. There are books and magazines galore about being pregnant but nooobody hangs a sign in front of you that says "hey moron, anything you give birth to must be brought home!" Maybe the OB should tell you on your first visit "yes, you are pregnant... did you know that he/she will be going home with you after you deliver?" I think that would be a better approach to the whole pregnancy thing for people like me who really hadn't given it much thought.
