Wow, Caroline! What an experience. Kara asked me to be in the delivery room with her for your arrival. It was amazing. Your Daddy and I never wished for either a boy or a girl but I was so surprised when the doctor said Congratulations you have a daughter! A daughter, I love the way that sounds. I know you probably think this is gross, but I got to cut your umbilical cord. That cemented our bond. You took your first breath on your own after that. I was the first to hold you and I did count your toes, fingers and I kissed you all over. I couldn't wait to tell your Daddy. The doctor also announced that you were the biggest baby born that day..You were beautiful. Almond shaped eyes, blonde hair, long fingers and your pinky toes were tucked under the next toes. I fell in love with you the instant you looked up at me. I knew that your Daddy and brothers were going to feel the same way. We love you so much Caroline.
