Boy OH Boy!!

Did someone say Baaaby Brotherrrrr??

Poor Caroline! Mommy just told what her shirt says. Her only child status will change mid February when her baby BROTHER, yes... I said, baby BROTHER arrives!!
Nahhh, just kidding, Mommy took a toy away from Caroline and she got upset. But we really ARE getting a sweet, hamsome lil' boy sometime in February.
I was in Wal-Mark's Saturday, minding my own bidness, looking at cards, when my cell phone rang. I answered it and it was my beautiful little girl. She said, " Hey Momma, are you home?" I said "No, where are you?" She said, "We're taking Caroline to Atwood's to get her baby brother some toys!".  Well, I folded like a cheap suitcase and started blubberin'.  I do remember asking, "Are you sure Lindsey? You're sure it's a boy, right?"
The last time I got the hot, cold, shaky, nervous, lump in my throat feeling was the day I heard we were getting sweet Caroline!! Wowzer, not one but TWO  sweet, adorable, perfect Bartonbabies!!! It just can't get any better than this!!
Congratulations to ALL of us, especially Daddy, Mommy, and Sweet Caroline!

Hot Dog, Hot Dog, Hot Diggety Dog

This is yet another exciting week for our lil baby! She (for this wk 16) now weighs in at a big old 4 to 5 ounces, and she's working on another inch in length.
Lil Miss AvoCaaado can now hear sounds which also means she can most likely hear the Mickey Mouse Funhouse that Caroline SO enjoys! Wonder if the little one knows the Hotdog Dance yet? Studies have found that babies who are sung to while they're in the womb recognize the same tune when it's sung to them after they are born! While our teeny one is getting used to voices, the tiny muscles in her body, especially the ones in her back, are gaining strength, so she can straighten out a little more.
Get this amazing lil’ detail…. her developing facial muscles enable her to make a few expressions such as frowns and squints, even at this early stage! Wonder if she smiles at the Hotdog Dance ditty?
Her heart is now pumping about 25 quarts of blood each day....25!! and this amount will continue to increase as Cootie Pie continues to develop.

Minney has SHOES!

As I refresh myself on the new baby facts each week - I again am reminded that God is busy creating miracles for us to love and enjoy! 

Big sis watching Mickey!
