Kate's 1 Week Lamb Pic

As of 3:47 tonight, our little Kate girl will be 1 week old. She has been such an amazing baby and has certainly won the most popular award in our house. Chase and Ethan can't get enough of her, and neither can mommy and daddy. So far she has been a great sleeper and rarely fusses.

Unfortunately Ethan got some sort of viral infection with a high fever and we've had to keep him and Kate separate. Luckily we've had great family support to help us with that and Ethan has been fever free for almost 24 hours and we will all be home together under one roof soon!

Baby to be here soon!

Baby McCarthy should arrive by dark tomorrow!!!

I had a doctor's appt today and this time I had Shane come with me so we could discuss all our options. With only two weeks of school left for Ethan, I was starting to get nervous about when the baby would make it's appearance and if we would have any time to settle in before summer.

Also, I have been extremely uncomfortable lately and sleeping is pretty much non-existent...all which makes for a very cranky mommy.

At my appointment today, the doctor said I had progressed a little more and was in great conditions to induce. I would have liked to give the baby a little more time to come on it's own, but my doctor would be unavailable from Thursday thru the weekend (darn Jazz Fest). So we opted to go ahead and schedule the induction for tomorrow. This also makes it easier to prepare for being away from home and to talk to Chase about what will be happening the next couple of days.

Very excited!!!!!
