Hello, folks! Olivia Jane here, reporting from the outside!
I arrived yesterday, July 8th, at 3:31 p.m., weighing in at 7 lbs., 15 oz. and I'm 20 1/2 inches tall!
Mom and Dad finally announced my middle name, Jane, in honor of my Grammy!
I have dark hair, but not as much as my big sister, Abbey, did, when she was born. Grandpa and Grandma, Ditty and Grammy, and Aunt Laura were in the waiting room when I was born. Daddy text-messaged Laura to keep them up-to-date during the birth.
I've been eating well and don't do much between meals except sleep. However, I do have a good set of lungs and can let people know when I'm not happy!
We came home this afternoon at about 5:00. Ditty drove me and Mommy and Daddy in our little car! Now that we have two car seats in the back, Daddy had to ride between them! It's a good thing he's not fat!
Some of their friends decorated our door for us with balloons and crepe paper chains and they made a Welcome Home sign for us!
I have my own crib in the same room with Abbey and I can't wait to spend more time with her. I can already tell she loves me! Mommy bought her a new baby doll and gave it to her in the hospital so they both have babies to care for!
That's all for now. Check out the photos below. I'll send more later.
Love you,
Olivia Jane

9 1/2 Weeks To Go!
Hi, everybody!
Olivia here and there are just over two months left until my arrival!
The doctor moved my due date up to July 10th and I might even get to make my appearance as early as July 8th!
Don't get me wrong! I like it in here. It's nice and warm and snuggly. But I've heard so much about my Daddy and Mommy and Big Sister Abbey that I can't wait to get out and see them!
Mommy and I are going to see Dr. Carter every two weeks this month. Then, next month, we'll go every week so he can check on my progress. Mommy says I feel much bigger and am more active than Abbey was, so I might even be born earlier than expected!
I'm so proud of Daddy because he's finishing school for the year and working real hard for us! He gets to start a new job soon and we're excited about it!
Know what? Mommy and Daddy are going to take me to the beach for the first time to celebrate their fourth anniversary! Mommy says it will be fun for her to float in the ocean. So, I'll be floating in here while she's floating out there! Abbey's going to stay home with Sarah, our babysitter, so it'll be just the three of us for maybe the last time. I can't wait!
Sorry I don't have any new pictures for you, but it's kinda dark in here and we're saving our film for the big day! Keep in touch!
Love,
Olivia

Long Live Olivia!
That's right, folks. I have a name!
Mommy and Daddy picked the name, Olivia for me and I just LOVE it, don't you?
"Olivia" is from a Latin word that means "bringer of peace."
I like that, because that's what Jesus did when he came into the world.
In just a little more than three months, I'll be born and can help bring peace, too!
Keep Mommy in your prayers because her heel has been hurting recently and she still has a lot of walking to do before I get out of here!
Thanks for praying for Daddy's job. He's going to have a brand-new one even closer to our home and won't have to work outside in the hot weather anymore!
I hope you like the pictures I picked out (below). One is of my big sister, Abbey, trying to touch me through Mommy's tummy. The others are from a recent visit to the doctor, when he used a special camera to look at me on the inside.
Before I go, I want to say, "Happy Birthday" to my cousin, Jayme, who turns three tomorrow, and to my Grammy, who turns ____ on Friday. (Mommy says she might not like her age posted on the World Wide Web!)
Hope you have a great week!
Love,
Olivia (Middle Name Still Unannounced!)
