Baby Olivia

Well Well Well!!! The waiting can now end. Our little bundle of joy has arrived. Officially she came Thursday, February 12, 2009, at 12:32 AM. She weighed in at 7 lbs 6 oz and measured at 20 inches. Along with her came a full head of brown hair and what seemed to look like frosted tips. When she came out and for the first few days our little Olivia looked slightly mexican... all tan and dark haired and all. But being that she was just jaundice and it finally cleared up, she looks more like her parents now, all white and pastey. She did drop to around seven pounds but as of this past wednesday, she gained it all back and then some weighing 7 lbs almost 8 oz. She is our world and keeps us busy day and night, but completely worth it. We are so very blessed to have a wonderful, adoreable, healthy baby.

Updates Updates

So ... lots of new... well, since our last post. Christmas was wonderful. We were really blessed. We stayed in Provo and spend the holidays with friends and family. Christmas Eve and Day were spend at Lauren's parents. Jake experienced a new dinner tradition on the Eve. Raclette was the name, delicious was its game. Kinda a do yourself fondue type meal. Christmas morning was earlier than expected but wonderful. The gift exchanging and opening was a round robin one gift at a time thing. So everyone watched each person open a gift at a time. It is actually a fun and more meaningful experience. The following week breezed by quickly and then came the New Years Eve. We spent the evening with our friends in our ward at the Shumway household. It was great chatting and watching VH1's top 100 songs before ringing in the new year. We love our friends, specially the Shumways, wink wink!
