Our beautiful little Olivia was born on Wednesday December 9th! We are so blessed for her to come into our lives. We couldn't be more happy, however these late night parties in her crib have got to go. Other than that she is a wonderful baby and a great early Christmas Gift.
These are all pics taken in the hospital by my mother-in-law! Aren't they cute
Her eyes are really a dark blue-green.
Our sleeping angel!
Well here I am in my last few days before Olivia arrives. I am in my 38th week about to enter my 39th. She will be born a week before her due date due to being breech. The C-section will take place this Wednesday around 12:00 pm, so please pray for me!
Here is some of the nursery!
Sporting my bump one last time!
My owl Penny perching on my tummy. I love owls, which are one of the main themes of Olivia's nursery. Man I look tired! I haven 't been sleeping well the past few days, which isn't good because a couple of days from now I really won't be getting any sleep!
Here I am at 35 weeks along! The past couple of weeks I have really grown a lot. I am so front heavy that I trip over my own two feet and trying to pick something off the ground is chore in itself. Not sure if I can handle getting any bigger than this, but I still have 32 days left to go, so I am just going to have to endure. 
Even though I am technically 29 weeks currently, I thought I would put some more belly pics from 28 weeks when I was down in So Cal for my baby shower. Wednesday we decided to spend the day at the beach and did I sure need it. I am a born fish and the ocean is my second home. Living in Washington the beaches are not the lay out in the sun type like Newport Beach, so I miss the quality time spent laying out and swimming in the waves. I can't believe it was 85 degrees and sunny at the end of September, only in CA! 
My mom and sis striking a pose.
Back to back belly shots! Urr... I win this time! Dang you Dad for working out and eating right :))
Snoozing on the beach!
Erica and I.
Still snoozing, but with water this time!
This pic looks a little risky since my bottoms look non-existent! Darn you belly :))
Here I am about 28 weeks pregnant at my baby shower for Olivia and I. My mom and I have been planning this shower since the spring! It was held at a cute, quaint little tea house in San Juan Capistrano, CA. At the time I still only had 75% prediction (now it is 95% after the latest ultrasound in Seattle) on if it was a boy or a girl, so most of the gifts were unisex, which is really hard to find these days because everything is pink or blue. But my favorite color is green, so that makes it easy. 
My sister and I. In my dress I look naked here ;). Man have I been in the Pacific Northwest too long, do I need a tan!
My sister in law to be Erica and I in our tea hats before the event.
My food, a yummy veggie quiche with lots of cheese on top. Yummy! Plus all the fruit, which is my biggest craving right now!
Some of the ladies!
Diane and I, one of my favorite pics!
Oh, sweet Sally and I!
A little test taste before the real thing :))
The baby actually kicked my Sissy's hand!

This is the only bike I can ride, a garden one!
Our 8th Anniversary together 10 was celebrated over this past labor day weekend. Friday night was spent eating a lovely dinner at my favorite restaurant in Sequim, called Alder Wood Bistro. Yum! On Tuesday our first sunny day of the weekend we had lunch at Crescent Lake. We bought sandwiches at my favorite sandwich shop, Drakes, and sat out on the dock of the Olympic Park Institute (the place we had a board retreat at for my work at NOLT). The reason why we made this into a weekend celebration is because Cha had duty on our actual anniversary day, so we decided to make the best of it and make our four day labor day weekend special!
Cha was cold while eating lunch. Good thing we had a towel. We weren't sure where we wanted to have lunch, just winged it, so that is why we brought the towel.
Loving the sun!
A view of where we were sitting.
A blue jay just outside of Sol Duc Falls, where we decided to take a scenic hike. What I didn't know is that a 1.6 mile hike would tire me out for the rest of the night :). I guess when you haven't exercised in a month or two, that will happen to you!
Hiker's pose, ready for business!
Ready for business :)
Ahhhh, finally we made it! Yeah!
Along the way!
Which way will we go... ohh Lover's Lane, how suiting!
The reward.....
Contemplating getting in the river, the water looked so nice and calming. Hope you enjoyed our anniversary weekend just as much as we did.
