Busy Week

First let me start by saying
"Happy 41st Anniversary Mom & Dad!"


Last week seemed crazy and this week so far is exhausting and it's only Tuesday!

Monday we went on some visits to see Pat Pat and pick up her computer so Jeff could fix it for her. We also stopped by to see Grandma and PaPa and had lunch with them.

Olivia was actually awake for a short portion of these visits and everyone got to see her beautiful big eyes!

Check out her pinkie in the picture with Grandma and PaPa :-)



Tuesday Olivia had her physical therapy appointment, it went well and her neck muscle seems to be loosening. She was a tired little one during the session and slept through most of the stretches. She doesn't seem to really like some of the stretches and would wake slightly to show her disapproval, but our therapist Sheri is excellent with her and would stop the stretch and sooth Olivia before going on. We have done pretty good with keeping up with her stretches at home but could stand some improvement :-) She does like when I hold her head to one side and just massage the muscle, and tummy time with her head turned to the correct side counts too! Thank goodness it counts even when she is asleep!


Wednesday we had her Cardiologist appointment to check on her heart murmur, everything sounded good and she did not need another ultra sound or EKG which was great. We got her weight and she weighed 8 lbs and 10 ounces!

Now we go back when she is 6 months old to check again. If everything sounds good, we go back once a year, either until she is a certain age or until it has disappeared. The cardiologist she goes to at Children's is wonderful!

Thursday, Friday and Saturday we stayed home some, I had a Dr appointment, we ran some errands and tried to catch up on some sleep! Olivia's "schedule" seems to be changing a bit and we are trying to figure it out. She is still up more at night and late night (2 am) than during the day and some mornings she is up around 5:00 am and stays awake for a bit, thanks goodness Daddy takes this "shift" or mommy would be a total zombie.

On Sunday we took Olivia to meet her my mom's mother, also stopped by cousin Addi & Chloe's for lunch with everyone. While at Grandma's we got a picture of four generations which was really nice to see!

Addi went with us while Chloe stayed home to nap.



































I love this picture of Olivia with Grandpa.


It looks like he is telling her a secret and she is really listening to see what he has to say!

Sunday night and Monday were crazy!

Until we went to bed on Monday night, Olivia was up every hour from 1 AM on. She must be having a growth spurt, she ate 13 times in 24 hours (her norm is 7 to 8) and took over 24 ounces, about 5 to 6 more than normal. She hardly slept for more than 40 minutes at a time, needless to say we all were pretty tired by the end of the day.

Last night was much better, she took more ounces at each feeding again and slept till her "normal" waking times. We actually all got some rest, we will see how today goes :-) Right now she is sleeping and has been doing so for almost 2 hours!

I think that catches us up for the week!

Here are some cute pics that Jeff took of her early this morning. Love her little feet in the first picture!
