It is hard to believe that Olivia is already a month old! She is the sweetest, most well tempered baby ever! She hardly ever cries and she is very tolerable of siblings that love her way too much! I am so in love with this girl and I feel so lucky to be her mom. She is such a blessing to our home. I am so excited to announce that she has gained 3 pounds exactly in her first month of life putting her at 9 lbs. 11 ounces! That is the most of all my kids and she is my old baby who has successfully nursed so another huge achievement!

We are pleased to welcome...
Olivia Kathryn Seeley to our family! She was born on Saturday, August 6 at 6:58pm. After 3 days of false labor she arrived after 7 hours of true labor! She was 20 inches long and 6 lbs 11 ounces (our biggest baby). She is perfect in every way and so sweet! We love her so much! (more birthing story to come...)

Still waiting...
I think the baby is much too happy in the womb, she isn't budging. I was hoping she would be born before August so she wouldn't miss the school deadline out here (I know, kind of shallow but Dallin missed it and has really been hard on him) but now I'm just praying that I won't be late like with Elise. We are all too anxious to have to wait much longer. Well see what happens by Wednesday when I have my next appointment.
For those of you who didn't know the connection, my due date is the one year anniversary of Davids (Jon's dad) death. Some people have thought that was weird and creepy but I have really cherished that day as a special, sacred day so a birth on that day would be really special. A lot of things had to line up to give us that day as our baby's due date. We will be happy no matter when she is born.

Countdown
Only 2 weeks till my due date! I'm ready...well I should say I have every ready and I'm ready to hold my little girl. But I haven't practiced my hypnobirthing as much as I should so I don't feel completely ready there. The doctor said she thinks the baby will be 7 or 8 pounds which is super exciting to me since Dallin as under 6 pounds and Elise was 6 lbs 4 oz. I have had tons of braxton hicks and I'm dilated to a 2 so we are slowly on our way there!!!

Worlds longest Post...
Well..at least it seems that way to me. I finally got around to taking pictures off of my camera and realized that I haven't posted anything for a really long time. I guess that is what happens when you are 36 weeks pregnant and you have 2 other kids that have enough energy to power a state. Seriously! Okay so I'm going to try to make this brief without leaving out too much. Here goes (they are sort of in order by date):Easter 2011:
My mom came to visit and was here for Mother's day was was lucky enough to enjoy some of Jon's amazing cooking. This is homemade tortillas w/ queso fresco cheese, homemade pico de gallo, and pork that was marinated in homemade adobo sauce. It was seriously SO good!!! I'm so spoiled by my husband.
Kids being kids:
Dallin has been loving a new show on PBS called "Wild Kratt" and this was our thrown together Peregrin Falcon creature power suit.
My dad's visit:
Dallin's preschool graduation:
Jon's Birthday:
We were lucky to have family in town to celebrate with us this year!! Jon got Mario wii and he and Dallin had it beat in a week and 1/2! He also got some more reloading equipment, a game, a book, and a few other things.
Elise LOVED having a girl cousin to play with too!
My baby shower:
My best friend Lisa was sweet enough to insist throwing me a baby shower; which worked out to be the same weekend the family was here so we had a super fun time.
(This is a homemade quilt that my friend made me and my super cute homemade diaper bag is sitting next to me. She is so talented!)
Jon's ouch finger:
Jon had a little accident the day after his birthday when getting his reloading press ready with his new dies. Our sweet little girl pulled the lever before it was time and caught Jon's finger and literally punched a whole in it. After a trip to the ER (with a chuck of finger skin in my purse- I'm SO not the strong one of the family, but I had to be that day!) he got an x-ray, a tetanus shot, a super painful numbing shot so they could clean it really well, and then they filled it with foam so it would stop bleeding. This picture is from a few days later when we had a follow up appt. It has been a month and a half and it still hasn't healed yet. Poor kid!
Katies Wedding:
Jon's youngest sibling got married at the end of May in the St. Louis temple and it was a very beautiful and special day!
The ever growing belly:
This was from 3 weeks ago...so yes, it is much bigger now!
THE END! For now. :)
