The greatest invention ever...
Not just an ordinary hair dryer..... Caroline's mommy and daddy have discovered it's the greatest baby calming device ever invented!! Caroline loves the "white noise" of the hair dryer. She can be so upset, then calms instantly once it's turned on. Too funny! Seriously, I'm thinking of getting the girl one of her own.

Three Weeks Old!!
Caroline is now three weeks old! This past week she met two of her three great-grandmothers. Caroline says to tell her Big Nannie in Greenville that she is sorry she lives so far away but she is looking forward to meeting her soon too! Here are some pictures of the last week:
I had my first tub bath this week.... as you can see, I did not like it so much!
I like to look at my pretty face in the mirror! Kicking around on the floor is my favorite thing to do!

Caroline is Two Weeks Old!
It's hard to believe that Caroline is two weeks old! Sometimes it seems to us that she's been here forever- already it's hard for us to imagine life without her! Here are some highlights from the past two weeks.
She has had her first doctors visits for weight checks- she was 5 lbs 13 oz the Sunday after she was born, and then 6 lbs 1 oz three days later. As of today she is 6 lbs 5 oz- back to birth weight. Still a petite little girl, but we're headed in the right direction! Our Kids Path nurse friends have been nice enough to come by and weigh her when I want them to. I'm trying to convince them to just add her to the Kids Path census (smile)....knowing I have pediatric nurses I can call for advice and reassurance when I need it has been so wonderful!
Caroline has had lots of visits from special family and friends and she is a well loved little girl! Zack and I are having so much fun getting to know her and she is already developing a little personality. She is such a sweet, sweet baby and just seems so curious and bright. She fixes her gaze right to our eyes and just melts us. She even smiles when she's content. She's really strong and is already rolling from her back to her side believe it or not and has great head control for such a little one. She loves her paci (thank goodness) and loves to be held and cuddled. She's got such an expressive face and sometimes scrunches her little eyebrows into such a worried little look, as if to say, "what is about to happen now?" We are just thoroughly enjoying every second with her. Here are some pictures from the past two weeks:
Oh, and Caroline says Happy Birthday to my Daddy!! Two weeks old and I already have him wrapped around my little finger. Here is some pics of our favorite thing to do together:

Introducing Caroline Madison Hubbard!!
She's finally here!! Our beautiful little girl, Caroline Madison, was born July 16 at 11:32 pm. She weighed 6 lbs 5 ounces and was 20 inches long. We are all doing well and Zack and I are utterly in love. She is such a good baby. She hardly ever cries, unless she needs something and is SO alert and aware. She's done really well with the nursing overall, and takes to it like a champ - from day one, even in the hospital. Here are a few pictures from her birthday. I'll try to post more soon!!

Still no baby!
We continue to wait.....Caroline has yet to decide she's ready to meet the world. Zack and I kind of laugh, picturing her in there bracing herself with both arms outstretched saying "No! I don't want to come out!" My mom says she's just like her Grandpa Goodman, not in a hurry to get anywhere! She's decided to be fashionably late! For now, I'm just trying to keep myself busy. My last day of work was last Tuesday, so it's kind of strange not to have something to fill my days. So far, it hasn't been too hard, I seem to find things to do. We go back to the doctor tomorrow morning, and I am SO hoping for some progress! The induction discussion has already been brought up by my doctors, and actually was scheduled for this Friday, but I managed to put them off for this week, to give Miss Caroline some extra time to decide to come on her own. I really don't want to be induced unless absolutely necessary. I'm sure that it will come up again tomorrow though, and be rescheduled for next week just in case. For now there's nothing much to do except wait for something to happen! We'll continue to update with any news!
