We are still waiting!

It has been a week and still no Olivia. Chris and I went to the doctor Tuesday and she said I am 2 cm dialated and very swollen. Which I have known for a while since I can't wear any of my shoes! Olivia is doing great and is moving around getting comfortable. We go back to the doctor Monday to see what she says and the doctor said she would try to get the process going. We will keep all of you posted on our little one's arrival.

Here is our first snow picture.

It's almost time

Chris and I went to the doctor today for my weekly appointment. I have been having contractions for the past few days now and they are getting stronger. When talking to the doctor she said that Olivia would be here before next week. We will keep all of you posted on both of us. The doctor said she is between 7 and 10 pounds and I am hoping we are closer to 7!

Update on Mommy and Baby

Olivia and I are doing great. Her movements are getting stronger and it is such a great feeling. Chris and I are getting very excited and are ready to meet her. Today I am 8 months or 32weeks along. WOW, time sure has flown by. Tomorrow I have to go and get a 3 hour glucose test done. I am not looking forward to that! I was only a few points away from passing and it is because I loaded up on carbs the day before not knowing you are not supposed to do that. So nice of the nurses to let you know these things. My students are asking more questions and when I told them the other day I would not be back for a while after Christmas break they asked why?? DUH, having a baby here! They crack me up! Chris and I have been so fortunate to have so many wonderful people in our lives. We have already had 2 showers and we have more. We are very thankful and Olivia is so lucky to be so loved. I will post shower pictures soon.

Olivia's moving!

So everyone has asked if I was feeling Olivia move. For the longest time I was not sure what to expect. Mom said it would feel like a wave. Well, Chris and I finally felt her move. We were "hunkering down" at my parents for IKE and she was preparing for the storm. You should have seen Chris' face! He was so excited to feel her since for a while I would tell him I think she is moving but you won't be able to feel. Now she is a busy bee and moving all the time. We are getting very excited and I can't believe I am already 6 months pregnant. Man time flies! Hope you are all doing well after IKE!!!

Our little girl

We are excited to announce that we are being blessed with a beautiful baby GIRL, Olivia Annell Charbonneau! She will definitely be a swimmer like her Daddy after we saw her little legs kicking. We are thrilled and cannot wait for everyone to meet her!

Our litte one

We are excited to announce our new addition! Our little one is due to join our family January 5, 2009. Chris and I are very excited and are awaiting our baby's arrival. We will find out the gender August 12th and everyone seems to think it is a boy. I can't wait to share that exciting news with everyone!
