The girls

Everyone enjoys sleeping on mom in the rocking chair. Olivia is snoozing after her most recent meal and Mabel is letting us know that she is still one of our "babies". Dad's job is to take the picture.

First Day Home.

It was a long wait, but our beautiful little girl arrived. I can't believe God blessed us with such a beautiful and perfect baby. We are still working out the kinks with feeding and sleeping, but other then that we are all doing very well. Adam proudly changed her first dirty diaper...(#1 and 2), and he didn't stop there. He has been such a help. I couldn't imagine doing this without him. It's amazing... seeing him with her and how he has been with me has made me fall in love all over again.

Here is a picture of Livi her first day home enjoying one of her newest toys...

Thank you to everyone for all the well wishes. We greatly appreciate them.

Olivia Ruth Basalyga is here!

Our little bundle of joy has arrived! Born at 7:26 AM, she is 7lbs 14ounces and measures 20 inches in length. This is without a doubt one of the most special days of our lives. :) We love our little girl!

My cleaning burst did not work. I am still pregnant. Thankyou to everyone who has been praying for us. I am happy to say that whether this little girl likes it or not the process to get her out will start tomorrow evening. I don't know any definite time yet, but I'm guessing we will being arriving at the hospital around 5:30 or 6 to start the induction. So, in all reality this little girl probably won't be out until Tues. We'll have pictures posted as soon as we can. Keep praying... we need it.

Well, this evening I had a sudden urge to clean out my fridge and freezer and take apart my stove to clean that. Now I'm working on the guest bedroom... Maybe this will be the night after my burst of energy. I'm not getting my hopes up too much... I really don't think this little girl ever wants to come out.

4 days late...

While I must admit I am definately still going crazy waiting for this little girl. I do get some joy in knowing how much it is driving my father crazy as well. I love my dad. The self proclaimed "Man of Steel" has turned in to such a softee over the past few years. He has a hard time admitting it, but I can just tell how worried he is about me... the 15 calls a day kind of give it away. :) I will be happy to post pictures of him holding her as soon as she decides to make an appearance and then you will see how steel melts. :)

3 days late and counting....

Well Miss Olivia has yet to arrive. I stopped working a few days ago and I am incredibly bored here is a picture of me playing Monopoly on my phone just trying to pass the time... this is really getting old.

Due date is here and no baby Olivia!

I know I am not the first one to ever be in this position but right now I feel as though I am. Today is my due date for Olivia and she is happily kicking away inside. I feel as though she is never going to come out. Anyone who knows me knows that I cannot stand surprises that I know are coming. If you were to ask my husband he would let you know I am relentless when it comes to presents or surprises... he usually gives in. :) I can be pretty annoying. As much as I know he also cannot wait I think this is fun for him because there is absolutely nothing I can do about it. In a small way I think he's enjoying me going crazy for all the times I've annoyed him.
