Sophia the Fashionista
Fun trivia: Daddy read somewhere that the No. 1 career choice for "Sophia's is to be a model. Must be true. Check out Sophia the fashionista on her second day at the hospital (thanks to Nurse Dar!).

Had our weekly checkup. We're headed in the right direction, which is to say Olive is since she's moved her head down but not all way. The doctor took a look today and while she's made progress, it looks like we're still a bit away. Or more. Like anyone actually knows. However, we've made it clear that we'd prefer next week over this weekend.
We made the same request of Alexander and we all remember how that turned out.

Had our latest checkup today. All is good with mom and baby. We've done the math and if she follows her brother's schedule we figure we've got about a week and a couple of days. Or not. It's not like we're in charge here.

Tea Party Shower
This past Saturday, Abuelita and Tia Suzi hosted a fabulous tea party to shower Olive (and mommy) with love and support. Mommy had such a wonderful time with family and friends at the Scarlett Room in Pasadena. We ate the most delicious scones and tea sandwiches and drank some flavorful teas. Mommy can't wait to go with Daddy and Alexander. Abuelita surprised everyone with a real tea leaf reader too (she's the one with the fancy big hat)! We had such a wonderful and memorable time. Thank you for the personalized favors with the really good teas and cute teapot cookies. It was all so nicely done and such a special event. Thank you very much Abuelita and Tia Suzi and to all our guests for the presents.
H&H Baby Shower!
Today we celebrated Olive joining our family with a lil help from our friends at H&H! They were very generous showering us with the food, gifts, and good wishes.
10 weeks and counting. or there about.
This week was a busy one for Olive. We had a follow up appointment with the ultrasound doctor to make sure everything has developed properly and Olive and mom passed with flying colors. Our little girl weighs a crushing 3lbs 11oz! After that we had our regularly scheduled appointment with the OB. Everything continues normally. And now we're moving to every other week for appointments!
On Sunday, mommy and daddy took a tour of the hospital again to reacquaint ourselves with the place. It was a good visit and helped daddy mentally prepare!
While on the maternity floor we found Alexander's star commemorating his birth.
and we're back!
Mommy and daddy got to register this afternoon for some necessities (and goodies) for Olive! We're in our 7th month already. The 3 of us can't wait for Olive to join our family. If her movement and kicking is any indication of her excitement, then I think Olive's even more excited than us! Ha ha. Love our family.
