Ironing Laundry?

Ok,... so today I am so totally bored and tired I decided to iron my bed sheets....I know what ya'll are thinking , "Is she crazy?" but since Chad installed my clothesline I have been line drying everything and ironing sheets makes them soooooo super soft. Anyway, that's the plan for the day , plus maybe making some pumpkin bread...:-) Good times at the Barber house.. ha!!!

Dr.'s Visit!

Olivia had her 2 month check-up on Monday... she now weighs 13 lbs. 10 oz. and is 22 1/2 inches long. She no longer fits into her 0-3 month clothing so we had to put it all away last weekend.....:-( Her new trick is sticking her whole fist into her mouth and also tracking things with her eyes... She had four immunization shots on Monday as well... it was harder on us then it was on her..:-) She slept from 8 pm-4am last night... 8 hours in a row... what a good baby!!

Month Number Two!!

Olivia just keeps growing and growing.... she is smiling, laughing, and even starting to reach for things! This month she enjoyed a visit from her Grandma and Grandpa from Minnesota, she took her first Metro Train ride, and even went trick-or-treating in Palm Springs with cousins Hadley and K.C. We are constantly in awe of her and how much she changes day by day.....Thanks to everybody for all the wonderful wishes and gifts that continue to arrive for her...we are truly blessed. xoxxo

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?
