April already?

olivia's birthday party was fabulous and the little princess is now three years young! nana g and ryan came in from ohio Easter weekend and were able to come to the party, too, which was nice! thanks to all for the super nice gifts.

The week before her birthday, her daycare had their Easter program and olivia's class did great! The pic with the white/pink dress on was that night.

now that she's three, we are not going to do the speech therapy anymore and cut back on physical. PT will only see her about every 3 months to evaluate her progress and check on her foot brace. The occupational therapy will continue every week, but now we have to take her to their office downtown. she's doing well with that and we've started working with constraint therapy about 5 minutes every night the last week.

Week 28

4D sonogram went good-baby is healthy, just won't show her face that much...went again today to do the 3 hour glucose test (passed with flying colors!!!) and had another 4D done. I was tired afterward, like she said I would be...but I ate lunch and headed to Wally World to pick up a few things anyway.

Olivia has taken a big liking to a Minnie Mouse necklace that her aunt Angie bought her in Disneyworld last year. She wears it night and day :) We went to MyGym tonight for her freeplay class this week and she made a friend, her name is Cindy. Very cute little girl, about to turn 4 in May-talked our ears off, too! She had scars on her neck and chest from being burned at just a few months old, her dad said. She pulled a tablecloth down that had hot tea on it! :( Poor baby! But she looked good and was the friendlies little girl! It was fun because it wasn't crowded at all tonight.

Take care everybody, less than two weeks until our little baby girl turns the big THREE! YAY! Oh, and on Thursday, the 9th, her daycare has an Easter program that starts at 7pm, for those that want to attend!

Week 27...

Of pregnancy is going well! I'm still coughing a little, but mostly over the sinus issues. Went to dentist today to get a filling, but he thinks the pressure I'm feeling is from the sinus problems I'm still getting over, so no filling today. I'd rather wait until after baby, anyway. Olivia is over it all, I do believe, so that is good news.

Tomorrow is the big day for the 4D ultrasound~we're gonna see our baby girl #2's face! So excited about this!

Update on Olivia's toddler bed issue--since January, Brian had been sitting with her in her room until she fell asleep. He did this for over a month. Good daddy. :) But another milestone, about 2-3 weeks ago, Olivia asked her dad not to turn on the lullaby music in her room and to leave her door open. It took a few nights of walking her back to her bed a handful of time, but NOW she falls asleep on her own! It's a big relief to have that out of the way before June. However, when she has to adjust to the new baby, well, we'll deal with that when the time comes! :)

Olivia is really coming along with speech now, she carries on conversations with us all the time (and her baby dolls!). It's great to see her using 3 & 4 word phrases, like her therapist wants her to. Well, until next time....

This week...

Well, I finally went to the doc last Friday and started treating the symptoms of post-nasal drainage...fun fun! Monday they called in an antibiotic since nothing was helping, and TODAY I'm finally feeling like I'm starting to get over it! And Olivia has the same thing, had it since the beach trip, so Brian was able to get off work to take her to her pediatrician Tuesday. Slight ear infection so she was prescribed the same antibiotic I'm taking. Then Wednesday she had a temp of 101 at daycare so all day and last night we gave her tylenol and kept her home today. Hopefully it's just from the infection and nothing else, since there are so many stomache bugs going around.

On the brighter side, miss Olivia has a birthday coming up in less than a month now!!! Wow, three!

Myrtle Beach 09!

We couldn't have picked a nicer weekend to go down there! It was great! Olivia enjoyed the indoor pools, playing in the sand, and our few excursions out to eat and shop. We all had a wonderful last vacation of three that we'll remember forever.

SNOW SUNDAY!

Pics and few updates

We went to the Homeplace for Brian's birthday last week...very good eatin'!

Look at the ham of the family now! She did this pose on her own!

Listening to a cd of a Jimmy Buffett book...

I met with Olivia's OT last week and she wants us to start putting the hand brace or kinesio tape back on Liv's right hand/arm. Olivia is showing more independant use of her hand, especially during therapy sessions and it seems the botox did help her be able to use it more. We see Dr Brown again in March and will probably have to get a new order to be fitted for her foot brace, again, this one is getting too small.

Liv is becoming quite the little "princess"--she calls herself that when she wears a dress! She sometimes doesn't want to wear the clothes I've picked out for her to daycare, so she'll take her dad back to her closet to pick out something else :) Back on Valentine's Day, I did see where she'd cut two more of her 2yr molars, so one more left! She's been a little fussy lately so we're thinking it's on it's way! Be glad when that's over!

Next Thursday we leave for Myrtle Beach for the weekend! Brian and I are so looking forward to time away from work. We should be able to take Olivia and swim in a heated indoor pool and just have lots of fun family time-can't wait!
