Our Beautiful Girls

I am really enjoying my time off with our girls! Olivia is getting chunky and staying up longer during the days & Isabella is learning more and more with each passing day! Her vocabulary has noticeably increased and she is now interested in counting (or trying to)!

Isabella continues to do great with Olivia and tries to be helpful although it usually isn't that much help. As a special treat for Belle we enrolled her in gymnastics which she loves and does quite well at. Here are some pics of our girlies:)

Newborn Pictures

It is hard to believe that Olivia is already 2 weeks old...where does the time go? I feel like I just went to the hospital to have her. She continues to be a great baby and Isabella is doing so great! Bella is really not all that interested in her, will kiss her occassionally, but seems to enjoy playing with her baby dollies and the diaper bag more and more each day.

Last week, my friend Kim, took some pictures of Olivia at a park near our house - the pictures turned out great - thanks Kim!! Here are a couple of my favorites.

Olivia Reese Morgan

Adam and I are excited to announce the arrival of our healthy, beautiful daughter, Olivia Reese Morgan. Olivia was born on Saturday, June 6, 2009 at 7:38 am. She weighed 7 lbs 14 oz and was 18 inches long. She is absolutely perfect. We spent two nights in the hospital before coming home. It is soo nice to be home. Isabella is doing great, I was really concerned how she would react, her first encounter with Olivia at the hospital made me even more nervous, but once we got home everything just sort of fell in place. Olivia is eating and sleeping great. I typically get up twice in the middle of the night to feed her, which I think is pretty good:) At this point, the only problem is she will only sleep in her car seat with the lights on - but at least she (and Adam and I) is sleeping. Here are some pictures...Enjoy and if you would like to visit, we would love for you to meet our new addition!

Olivia's Room is FINALLY finished

Thank goodness...the upstairs got finished just in the nick of time. We only have a couple of days before Olivia joins are family and her room is complete! It turned out absolutely beautiful...just the way I imagined it - now all we need is for her to get here. Here are a couple of different views of her room. Only 4 more days until we get to meet her!

We are wrapping things up with our upstairs project...just in the nick of time. Mom is getting close to being done with painting olivia's room and I think Chris plans to lay carept this weekend...it turned out very good. (I will post pictures once it is completed).

Isabella is doing grreat. She continues to love the trampoline and has started using her potty chair a little bit. It sings when she goes potty and she thinks that is VERY exciting. I hope she remains interested. She is far from telling us when she has to go, but will attempt if we sit her on it. I guess we will see.

Olivia Update: I went to the doctor yesterday. 1 cm dialted, 25 percent effaced, head down, dropped slightly. She said a lot of times they won't check women who are a scheduled c-section, but I have been having some contractions so they wanted to see where I was. Everything looks good, just waitiing for next Saturday to get here!

Hope everyone is doing great and has a great weekend!

Two Weeks from Today

Two weeks from today, we will finally get to meet Olivia!! I am now seeing my doctor every week and anxiously awaiting her arrival. I just can't wait to meet her. I feel really good overall...tired, feet a little puffy and not sleeping the best, but overall good.

The upstairs is coming along nicely. I think it will be done just in time for Olivia. Adam plans to begin painting today. I think the next steps are bathroom flooring, bathroom fixtures, finishing up electricity, carpet and closet organization. Think we can get all that done?!? I am trying to be optimistic.

We will keep you posted as things progress - both with Olivia and the upstairs.

Happy Memorial Day!!

Sunday Fun-Day

Sunday Fun-Day took on a whole new meaning once we had Isabella. Pre-kids it was about enjoying the day with friends and having a few cocktails...now it is all about finding fun things do with Bella! This Sunday we had a jam packed day. We went to Eckert's to enjoy pony rides, airplane rides and riding the big camel for the first time. We weren't there long, but had a fun time. Bella really wanted to go on the big swings, but I didn't think that would be a good option considering I would have to ride it with her, probably not advisable by my doctor. Later in the day we went to a bridal shower, played at uncle Chris's new house and then we put together a trampoline. WOW...did she have fun. She really enjoyed playing ring around the rosey on it. Falling down is pretty fun on a trampoline. Dad even took a break from the upstairs to hang out for a bit.
