Three weeks old

And what a beauty.

Two Weeks Old

Papa John and I drove to Birmingham this afternoon to spend time with Ryan and Kristin and to begin spoiling Olivia. I don't think a minute of our visit went by that she wasn't in mine or John's arms. We just ordered pizza for dinner and spent the time talking with the kids and cuddling the baby.

Isn't she absolutely beautiful?

She's Here!

She was scheduled to be induced next Tuesday but Miss Olivia decided she wanted to join us before then. She made her appearance yesterday, June 8th, at 10:36 am and weighed in at 7 pounds, 13 ounces. She's 20 1/2 inches long. Mother, Daddy, Baby and all Grandparents are doing well.

Here are a few photos of our newest addition.

Think there's any family resemblance? This is her daddy when he was one week old.



And here's her mommy as a baby.




And here'd Oliva all dressed up and finally at home.

The Waiting Game

Miss Olivia is due on June 16, but we all know that babies don't have a calendar in their hand so they come when they're ready.

Let the waiting begin!
