Sweet Caroline.....I have been singing that song to her since she was born.
We celebrated Caroline's 7th birthday yesterday.
Its so special to me that she was born on March 20th~ the first day of spring. A day that symbolizes new life, new beginnings.
You see, March 20th was also the same date that Gregg ( my first husband) was diagnosed with cancer several years ago. She's a gift from God , as all children are, but her birthday makes it even more tender & sweet for me. Sort of like the rainbow after the storm.
After Dan & I were married we knew we wanted to have another child. I suffered two miscarriages , both of them late in the first trimester. I worried ( as i always seem to do) if something was wrong with me.
When I found out I was pregnant with Caroline, my ob informed me that he was unable to find a heartbeat. He told me to prepare for another miscarriage. We were leaving for the beach the next day---he said he'd see me when I returned but not to be surprised if and when I miscarried while on vacation. ok....
Upon returning we had another sonogram & guess what....there was that beating heart!
I think this precious blue eyed, blond haired baby girl is the perfect completion to our family. There is not a day that goes that I am not hugely aware of how blessed I am to have her in my life. She fills us with giggles & hugs. Savannah, Madison, & Emily have doted on her from the first moment they saw her. She is personality plus!
We love you sweet baby girl
Happy Birthday Caroline Elizabeth!!

Happy Birthday to your beautiful Caroline!! My Leah turned 7 on March 3rd. :)
OMG - I cannot tell you how that brought tears to my eyes. This Saturday - we will celebrate Ian's 11th. I too suffered miscarriages, four of them, and I became pregnant with Ian about 8 weeks following the last miscarriage. My doctor told me to expect the worst and I changed OBGYN's, and the doctor put me on progesterone. What miracles our children are! Happy birthday to your Sweet Caroline!
Ladybug hugs,
