Photo Shoot

Now that we have two girls (so cute to write), we have to capture EVERY MOMENT!!! Especially when Bella says "mommy, can me and Olivia take pictures together??", so with that being said.....pictures were taken!!!!!

Doesn't she look so cute????



My favorite body part....Olivia's feet!!!!!


My girlfriend knitted matching hats....soooooo cute!!!!!


Naked baby......


As much as Bella loved taking pics with her sister....Bella kinda likes posing alone a little more!!!!


First Couple of Weeks.....

Proud Big Sister!!!!

As Pete and I were driving Olivia home from the hospital, I couldn't help but to think "are we ready to be parents of a newborn again???". Our little Olivia had big shoes to fill since Bella was such a easy baby but we were ready for the challenge. After having tons of family and friends visiting to see our new addition, the real challenge began.....caring for a newborn while making sure Bella wasn't left out!!!
Thank goodness Bella is such a wonderful little girl and Pete took care of my every need because without those two, I would have gone BONKERS!!!
Our little Olivia was quite the challenge for the first couple of weeks....she just didn't know what she wanted. Pete kept saying "she's just not happy....should we take her to the doctor??". I assured him that every baby is different and Olivia was no exception. I also told him that Olivia is happy she's just 'high maintenance' (our little girl knows what she wants already...that's all)!!!
After the first couple of weeks of sleep deprivation and fussiness, it has been down hill from there!! Does Olivia still have her moments (like her witching hours of 11:30pm to 2:00am).....SURE but that comes with the territory, for the most part Olivia is PERFECT plus she sleeps through the night now, so she's really PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!

Pete in amazement that he put Olivia to sleep!!!!

Olivia watching the Laker game with Pete.....she really was staring at the tv!!!!

Welcome Olivia!!

Yay...Olivia's here!!!!

So I've been pretty bad about posting anything on the blog about Olivia but it has been a whirlwind juggling two kids (three kids, including Pete...he..he..he!) and dealing with every day life....I guess I assumed everything around us would stop because we had a baby!!!

Well this past Christmas is definitely going down as the craziest and best Christmas ever!!! The holiday started off with hauling Isabella to grandma's house and Pete rushing me to the ER on Christmas Eve, to discover my contractions were a false alarm. Then waking up Christmas day to a calm morning, waiting for family to come over to watch the Laker game and enjoying being with family. Well all of that happened but within an hour of the Laker game my water bag broke and I was rushed back to the hospital.....needless to say, there was no false alarm and Olivia joined our family at 11:33pm!!! Which will now be the second best day of my life (first best day is March 15th of course).....

When holding Olivia for the first time, I never thought I could love another little person (I was very scared that I only had enough love for Bella) but my mom was right, your heart just grows....and boy has it grown!! I love my little Olivia and I thank god everyday for our little blessing....
