Happy Thanksgiving!






There are so many things to be thankful for in life! I am guilty of finding the bad in life and letting it get to me far too often than I should. Things that I have learned as of late. Life has far too many things to celebrate than to spend time dwelling on the bad. Yes, there are hard things in life that get me (everyone) down, but instead of focusing on that I am going to try to focus on the good. For example, I have a beautiful baby girl who is healthy and for the most part happy! ;) I have a husband who loves me very much, and I have family and friends who are wonderful! I truely believe that God has a plan for us all and even though I often have a very hard time understanding it and excepting it, this is the truth and in the end everything always works out. For all of this I am thankful!

I find it wierd that everytime things get really tough something always comes around and helps us out. For example, I was really stressing out about being able to afford a breast pump, something that we really need but could not afford. Well, without even asking a very kind heart in my life offered for me to be able to borrow it...for FREE! Those of you who I talk to often knew how much I was stressing about this and for what? There has been many other examples of this, for example when I don't think that we will have enough money for groceries some how a gift card for the grocery store will show up :) Thank you...but it always happens to come when we need it the most and I do not know how this always works out, but it does! Sometimes when I am really feeling depressed and just wanting to talk to someone, but not having the want to call someone the phone will ring and I will have a kind heart on the other line, willing to listen :) It is crazy how things work out.

Olivia's first Thanksgiving was successful! She did a lot of sleeping, but she was also a very good little baby! I love that girl so much :)

Attached are some pictures, not all from Thanksgiving, but cute non the less.

But, Olivia thought that it would be fun to wear this outfit for Daddy's birthday (11-11-83)

1mo old!





So our baby girl is already one month old! WOW where does the time go? I think that sleep deprivation definitely makes time go faster!

But, we are all doing well and healthy! Olivia is very big she is already 9lbs, we went to a breast feeding support group the other day and I found out that she is big compared to her peers, but hey that means that she is getting the nourishment that she needs...right?

Well, this past month sure has been very fast and we have been learning a lot of things. We have many frustrations, and many joys, but all in all we are blessed to have such a wonderful and healthy baby girl!

I would love to write more, but I have a baby girl who is only happy if she is being held and that makes it very difficult to get anything done, including typing...and she is calling :)

Happy Halloween!














Hello everyone!

So for those of you who know how hard it is to get a good photograph of an infant I thought that you may think that this is kinda funny!

Also there is one in there just to show off the cuteness of tinyness (I am aware both of these words may not really be words:)

Olivia's stats

So Olivia and I went to the Dr. yesterday! It sure is hard to get places these days :)

I should have already known this, but it is so different when it is your own baby. Also, formula is so much more convient than breast milk.

Anyway, our sweet baby girl is growing...well kind of...

new weight: 8lbs 1oz
new height: 19.5 in

yes I know this is one inch shorter than her birth length and that is why I said kind of....I'm sure she didn't actually shrink and it is just the difference in the person measuring.

But, Olivia and mommy are doing very well! We don't need to go to the Dr. until she is 2 mo old now! That would be Dec 7th! I can't believe that she is already almost three weeks old, that is almost one mo. :) I know Lance makes fun of me for saying this, but gosh time flys and I am excited for the future and to see her grow, but at the same time I love this stage so much!

Also, on a different note, does anyone know how to add music to your blog?
