Without Furthur Ado

Our Family of 3 has now become 4. Olivia Rose was born on April 1, 2009 at 1:11 pm. She weighed 7lbs 12 oz and 20 inches long. Everything went smoothly and with no complications.
She is a very healthy, content and easy going baby. Everyone is adjusting to the new addition. Evelynn seems to really enjoy being a big sister! We tend to have to remind her to be “gentle” as she tends to forget her own strength at times. She likes to help with her and give her lots of hugs. Today, she went to give Olivia a kiss, which ended up with Olivia sucking Evelynn’s lip. Normally, Olivia has a binky in and that never poses a problem for Evelynn, however the one time neither one had one in, Olivia turned into a leach! I found it cute, but Evelynn was not to sure about it. When Evelynn first met Olivia, she didn’t really want much to do with her. I don’t think she really understood ‘who’ it was. The second time she saw her though, it was like prying candy away from a kid. She cried every time Ryan would take Olivia away from her and so much so, Ryan would have to let Evelynn hold Olivia again. Here is a pic of Evee with her lil sis! Her eyes are red from crying so much… too cute!


We really have been blessed with great babies/kids. They both have been oh so easy! The one thing I was dreading was getting up at night. Especially because Evelynn had started her night terrors. So I have been getting up with her for several nights. All I could picture was having to get up to feed Olivia, to then put her back to bed, to then get up with Evelynn, and then back to Olivia. However, that has not been the case THANKFULLY! Olivia has been sleeping 4-5 hours at a time in the night and Evelynn’s night terrors seem to be diminishing for the time being.
Other than that the adjustment has been really good so far. Poor Ryan has been working insane amount of hours for a project that is due on Wednesday, that he really hasn’t had much time to enjoy the newness of Olivia. Hopefully after Wednesday he will get to finally get time to just enjoy her.
Well for now I will leave you with a few pictures…
