The Fighter's

So with the arrival of Olivia my 30th birthday was sort of overshadowed (which I didn't mind one bit:-)). She was the BEST birthday present ever!! But some of my greatest girlfriends, my mom, sis in law and family friends took me out for a delayed birthday dinner this week at PF Changs. We had such a great time...chatting, eating great food, a few glass of vino and Eston's cake (yum!). I can't believe I'm 30! My twenties were fantastic...very busy. Graduated college, first job, met Doug, got married, bought a house, second job, had Ava, third job, had Katelyn, sold our house, moved north, bought another house, had Olivia! Phew! I think in my 30's Doug and I are going to slow down, relax and enjoy some of the major life events that came to light in our 20's!! I am so very thankful for the many blessings we've been given and pray that in my 30's I can do with these blessings what God wants me to do.

Olivia Ann had her 1 month appointment today and is growing great. Here are her stats: Weight: 9 pounds, 1 ounce (up 1 pound, 5 ounces since her last visit 2 weeks ago!) - 50th percentile Height: 20.5 inches - 50th percentile Head: 14 inches - 50th percentile She is doing great, usually a very docile and content baby (unless she has gas or is hungry!). She is still doing 3 to 4 hours stretches at night (usually waking at 2:30AM and 6AM to eat), but just this week has had two 7 hour stretches (10:30 to 5:30)...YIPEE! We're hoping these become more frequent:-) During the day she has mastered the art of sleeping during all sorts of noise (thanks to her big sisters). One of my favorite things about Olivia - she is so curious! When she is awake...her eyes (right now dark blue) are wide open and she cranks and lifts her head to look around at everything she can! She is also cooing quite a bit (trying to get a word in with her sisters). We love our Olivia so very much!
