Almost one month old....

Well, we have entered our 4th week of parenthood and it has truly proven itself to be challenging, rewarding, wonderful, and of course tiring! Olivia is a joy . She is a wonderful baby who loves to eat and sleep a lot!! She had her 3 week Dr.'s appt. on Monday and already weighs 10 pounds 8 ounces and has grown 1/2 an inch...:-) We are truly blessed to have her in our lives....xoxoxoo

The Birth of baby Olivia!!

On September 3, 2006 at 10:19 pm, our daughter, Olivia Paige Barber was born. She weighed 8 lbs 15 ounces and was 21 1/4 inches long... It was a long and grueling labor but what is important is that she is healthy, happy, and at peace with her surroundings. She came home with us on Tuesday , September 5, and since then has continued to amaze us with her beautiful tempermant and demeanor. She has strawberry-blonde hair and grey blue eyes...we are very proud parents and are convinced that she is already a genius at the age of 4 days. :-)

9 months and still going...

Here's my nine month picture....hopefully there won't be a 10 month picture!

Palm Springs Baby Shower!

On Saturday July 29th, my mom ( Pam) and Chad's mom ( Ginny) threw us our first Baby Shower! It was held at Ginny's house and was a huge success... :-) We had a luncheon and lots of sweets after that. The crazy thing about receiving all those baby gifts is that I will be using them in about 4-5 weeks! Aghhh!!!

35 week appointment

Not much to report....my nurse says the baby is measuring "big". This makes me nervous... but at least that must mean "healthy" , right?
