Olivia is 3!

Three years ago today Chris and I welcomed our first baby girl, Olivia Annell. It is hard for me to believe that it has been 3 years! She makes us smile everyday and we are so thankful for her! She has come so far since I have been home. Her language has improved significantly and we never knew how well she would do. She is a busy girl which hasn't changed since she was in my belly. Olivia is fun, loving, friendly, happy, great big sister, sweet, kind and sometimes stubborn but we love her. Everyday she makes me laugh in some way. Today I went to get her and I told her happy birthday and she said,"mommy, I am three". When we tucked her in tonight I was closing the door and told her goodnight and I love you and she said, " sweet dreams momma". That made my day!!! Here are a couple birthday pictures. Sorry I have been so behind on the blog lately. I guess that will be part of my New Years resolution!!!

So much going on and so little time to blog!

So I have LOTS to catch everyone up on. As most of you know we are expecting our third baby May 21, 2012. This little one was a complete SHOCK and we are very excited. Sadley, I could have been on that show I always make fun of "I didn't know I was pregnant". I guess I was showing signs to Chris and he had asked me to take a test before he changed our health insurance. I kept putting it off thinking he was just crazy but he brought a test home on a Tuesday. I took it right away to prove that I was right and he was wrong. Little did I know that I was wrong! Needless to say, I was frantically calling OB's the next morning trying to see who could get me in that day. Of course, Dr. Gunn could not get me in until the next week and I could not wait that long. I got an appointment at the Methodist Willowbrook and was still unsure that I was really pregnant. So they did an ultrasound first and I saw the baby. I started crying not believing that it actually happend on our own. The technician then proceeded to tell me that I was 12 weeks. Again, started crying thinking... I have a 7 month old at home as well as an almost 3 year old. It took me a day to have it set in and believe it is real but we are all very excited about this little miracle!!!

As for the girls, Kylee is growing up and is doing great. She is trying to crawl and is so close that we think it will be any day! She is sleeping through the night and eating meats well with veggies and of course a fruit. This Wednesday I took her to the doctor due to a yucky nose and found out she has a double ear infection. Poor baby has never been sick but has been such a trooper. I also went to the doctor due to sinus and now we are both on medicine. Fingers crossed Olivia and Chris stay healthy!!

It blows my mind that Olivia will be 3 in 19 days!!! Where has the time gone?? She has brought so much joy to our lives and we are thankful for her everyday. She is talking all the time and sings to Kylee(which is so cute especially when she sings you are my sunshine) She is a great big sister and helper. She is starting to show more emotions now. For example, today she got to watch a show and then I said okay, we are turning off the t.v. and she made a sad face and said, "but it is still my turn". It was so cute and hard not to laugh. Olivia has given up naps and rest time so I have been trying to do little activities and fun things with her while Kylee is sleeping. She is excited about seeing Santa and also excited about her birthday!

I have lots of pictures to share but our computer has been hit with a virus and so I only use Chris' work computer at night. Sadley, I am too lazy to go find all the pictures and cords to upload. Sorry but I still feel yucky and of course tired. But, I will have lots to share from our new baby, family pictures, Olivia's birthday pictures and the girls visit with Santa.

I hope you are all doing well and had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
