Surprises!

Yesterday we received 2 packages! We get really happy when we get packages!

The first package was from Melissa's cousins- Melanie and her 2 daughters Bonnie and Grace, and Lisa. Olivia received some great books- the ones that are touch and feel and have mirrors!! She also got some great toys, a soft blanket, and a picture frame. They also gave us a Target giftcard!! Thank you soooooo much!!

The second package was from our friend Cathy. Cathy got Olivia a cute monkey blanket and 4 receiving blankets which are big- we have been looking for some larger blankets for swaddling. Also Olivia got more plaid- everyone knows Melissa loves some plaid =) The shirt is adorable!! Cathy also sent some great information on breastfeeding. Melissa went to the class last Saturday and felt like she didn't have enough information- so thank you Cathy for letting us borrow your information and the beautiful gift.


We are so grateful and appreciative for all the gifts that we have received. We are overwhelmed by everyone's kindness and generosity. At times it is overwhelming because we know that there are so many people that love Olivia already. Thank you so much everyone!!

Almost 35 weeks update


Here are some updates from the past week or so...


A co-worker of Melissa's- Kristi Terri- also has a daughter named Olivia. She gave us 2 cute personalized burp clothes and is letting us borrow a cute diaper cover for some cute pictures!! Thank You Kristi!!





Thank you to the Whidden Family who sent us this great package today! We greatly appreciate it but we are so sad that you are moving this summer from Florida to Philidelphia. Who will we have a UGA/ Florida rivalry with???? But we are so happy for you! My friend Missy Whidden gave us the idea for the blog! Check hers out with her cutie son Ryan!! http://www.babywhidden.com/


Installing the car seat =)



Jake, the car seat, and part of Melissa... you can at least see the bump.


Brendon decided to plant an apple tree for Olivia. Hopefully we will be picking apples together as a family in a few years. We planted another apple tree last year and it takes a few years to pollinate and produce apples.
