1 week check up

So little Olivia is almost a week old already! Lance and I had some wonderful family time last night that consisted of just gazing at our beautiful little one! We were both thinking that we love her so much and don't want her to grow up (of course we do want her to because if she didn't she wouldn't be healthy...but you know what we mean!)

Olivia had her one week check up today and the Dr. gave us some good ideas to keep her milk down and it has worked today so far! I also never thought that a big poop would be the excitement of my day, but welcome to mommyhood! Sorry no call Sara, I guess I just was not thinking.

O is almost to her birth weight she is now 7lbs 4oz and in case I didn't mention yet as cute as ever!

Thank you everyone for your visits and gifts! I have a list of thank you's to make but have yet to actually make them. Life sure did get busy once she was born! But I wouldn't change anything!

She is sleeping pretty well thought the night, but wakes up for feedings but Lance does night duty so I wouldn't know too much. I think last night was a little hard for him, but he loves it all too!

I love to see all of you and please feel free to visit anytime as long as you are all feeling well!

Time to feed the princess again!

More pictures!

So Jack and Ella came to visit today! What a blast!

I can't help but take a million pictures!

Hello everyone!

We are all doing great! I did have a scare this morning or it may have been first time mommyness, but little Livie would not eat all night long. So I called the on call dr. and she gave me the brilliant idea to try a bottle (wow why didn't I think of that one?) It worked great! She has now been eating just fine all day so far!

Olivia went for her first walk yesterday! It was a very short walk since Mommy is still recovering and in quite a bit of pain, but just can't pass up such beautiful weather.

Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Teesdale have been visiting this weekend along with Aunt Lou! It is great to see them all and share this wonderful time in our lives with them!

It seems that Olivia is adjusting to her home life in stride as are her mommy and daddy! Daddy is the most proud daddy alive and he will just sit and hold her/stare at her for hours on end! Seeing this just makes my heart melt!

Well, I have been taking pictures like a proud Mommy (like crazy) so here is a sample of some!

Thank you for all your prayers and well wishes!

My favorite pic so far!

Gift from God!

Hello Everyone!

Great news! Our little one has come to meet us on Tuesday October 7th 2008! She is the most beautiful and wonderful thing on this earth right now (I know I am very bias)!

She is 7lbs 6oz and 20.5in long! She came to meet us after 21 hours of labor and 3 long hours of pushing! It was a very difficult delivery with some complications but through it all we are both now very healthy regardless of a difficult start. We went into the hospital on Monday morning thinking that we would meet her that day, but we should have known better as she has always had her own agenda and done things her own way and didn't want to be born until the 7th I guess.

Well, when I am not so under the weather and needing to sleep so much I will post more, but since others are already posting pictures in various different places I thought that I would officially post some of our beautiful Olivia Lynn Laugavitz!

Thank you for all of your prayers as the have had a strong impact on us all!

A special Thank you goes out to my friend Sara, without all of her great help during the times of need these past couple days I don't know where I would be. That is what a true friend is and I hope that I can return the favor soon!

todays apt!

She is getting so big! The Dr. says give or take 14oz she is 7lbs 2oz! I love seeing her on the ultrasound! Dr. says everything looks good! Yeah! Good news!
