the first two weeks with miss olivia mae!

miss olivia has been adjusting well to our loud busy household.  she seems to just go with the flow, so that makes it pretty easy.  she continues to sleep like a champ, and is almost to efficient at nursing.  she like to nurse fast which makes her gulp down the milk and that makes her frustrated with the need to be burped often.  but she gets her feedings done in record time! :)
at her two week at appointment she was already weighing in at 8lbs 12oz!  her pediatrician was shocked at how much she had gained in that short amount of time.  now if i can just figure out how to keep her this size! :)

big sister has been so incredibly helpful, she just adores her baby sister!


 amelia loves checking out her fingers and her toes...
 sisters!

 miss o attened her first soccer game at 3 days old!  look at amelia's face in this pic, this is her classic look these days! :)
 i caught evelyn sitting on the bed with olivia reading her books while i showered, so sweet and very helpful!  i love listening to her while she is learning to read!

 i could cuddle this sweet face all day!!!!
 amelia loves holding her too, its just for shorter amounts of time. :)
 kisses..
 during deleivery she came out with her hand by her face and i catch her all the time sleeping with that same hand by her face!


 we made a quick pumpkin patch trip after school one day...i think miss o was only 6 days old here!
 cuddle time with dad..

i think miss e would hold her all day if she could, when she gets home from school she goes straight to the bathroom to wash her hands and then says, "ok, i'm ready to hold baby sister!" 

 she is starting to fill those checks out...

bright eyes... 

i could go on and on about how sweet this little lady is, but instead i think i will just get back to cuddling her tinyness because i know it goes way to fast!

we are so in love with miss olivia!  she is a great eater, sleeper and cuddle bug!  i did forget how little they really are!  i'm trying to enjoy every second as i know they grow way to fast!  
labor was amazing...admitted ourselves at 1pm and had her at 5:06pm with 9 pushes!  and my ob doctor rushed over from her clinic to deliver our sweet girl.  i absolutely love her and was so happy she was there!  we are all loving our new addition to our family, i think she completes us!!!

thanks to everyone who has called and texted wishing us well.  and a huge thanks to everyone who has brought us food, gifts and just help too.  we feel so loved and can't believe how well are family and friends has been feeding us.  :)  thank you for spoiling us!!!
