When The Piggies Come Out...

...this is what we are left with!

Olivia's Milk Bath

    Yesterday Olivia had a bath that was fit for a queen. Well, maybe more so for a little princess. I have wanted to do a milk bath photo session for her since I can remember, so after her cake smash I finally did it. It was actually perfect for her because it combined two of her favorite things: baths and flowers.

Scrub-A-Dub-Dub, Livie's-In-The-Tub

    Yesterday Olivia had her first bubble bath experience. I got the idea from a friend whose little girl is the exact same age, and knew I needed to try it with Livie since she loves the water. I added her Aveeno body wash to the tub for the bubbles and let her take it all in. She loved it. Take a look at those beautiful blue eyes I got to see staring back at me.

Olivia's First {& Second} Tub Bath

    On September 5, 2017 Olivia's umbilical cord fell off, so that meant she could have her first tub bath. She didn't like sponge baths, but liked getting her hair washed, so I wasn't sure how she was going to react to sitting in water. I'll let the pictures do the talking:

729 Days

My sweet Connor,

     I can't believe that 729 days ago I was 38 weeks and 5 days pregnant with you. I was working the night shift in the NICU when I started feeling like I needed to sit down and take a break. I had been having problems with my blood pressure, so one of the nurses checked it.  It was really high, so we took it a few more times. It kept getting higher, so I called the hospital and they told me to come in. Your daddy met me there and my blood pressure eventually stabilized. When they were about to let me go home, your heart rate dropped. They almost sent me in for a stat c-section, but you brought it back up. At that moment they decided that I wasn't going home and it was time to admit me. You decided  to make mommy wait and not come until the next afternoon. I will never, ever forget that day: when my life changed so drastically and became a million times better.

Keeping C Entertained

      We have had another busy week that is ending on a really good note. I haven't taken many pictures, but I will share the few that I did take. On Sunday morning we did Easter crafts. Connor really liked putting the stickers all over the eggs and it kept him busy for a while!

Bath Time

    We always struggle when it's bath time and when we are out of town. At home we put him in a sling in the bath tub, and when we are on the go we usually get in the tub with him. This time we decided to try something different and sit him in the sink. It worked out great and he had so much fun playing.

Our Little "Phoenix Warrior"

   

     Connor has been such a sweet boy today. Maybe it's because he slept for ten hours last night. I don't understand why he only sleeps for his daddy that long! We spent most of the afternoon playing/napping until daddy came home from work.

Bath Time

       Bath time occurs nightly at our house. We find that it tires Connor out and he sleeps much better when he has a bath. When he was first born, he HATED bath time. Here's the evidence:
