Is that Don King?!

We just can't get over Olyvia's hair.  Michael had a little fun after bath time tonight.  Look what he did to her.

Springbreak Photo shoots!

We decided not to travel this year for spring break, I can't remember why...oh yeah, because we just had a baby, still have our house in Meriden for sale, and what was the other reason...our other 2 little monsters!  Instead we stayed home and posed them for pictures. 

Olyvia is 1 month old!

Our littlest is now 1 month old.  I can't believe it's been a month already, but she's finally growing and gaining weight.  She's up to 7 pounds and 4 ounces.  Still little, but we're glad she's up over her birth weight!

Andy has decided he really does love his new 'brother' Olybia.  He hasn't quite gotten her name down yet either.

Our first photo shoot attempt with all 3.  Not too bad!

Mayci turns 1!

Our sweet little niece turned 1 on March 6th. I can't believe it's been a year and another kid later!

Lilly and Mayci together.  If Mayci is around, you can bet Lilly will not be far behind!

 Love this picture of my sister and Mayci.  Oh, happy day!!

Uncle Chris embrasses his inner princess well.  He loves posing with Lilly, his one and only before Mayci came.

All together now.

Still recovering, but oh, what a life I have. My 3 beautiful kids cuddled up with me. It couldn't be any better!

It's a great day to meet the rest of the redheads.

Let's talk, just you and me.  Look, you don't have my hairline like the other 2 kiddos.

Olyvia's going home outfit.  I searched high and low for something that wasn't pink this time.  Do you know how hard it is to find outfits for newborns that aren't pink or blue?  But the shopper in me prevailed and I found one.  It is really cute, I must say. 

It was love at first sight.  But why, oh why, couldn't I have put on some make-up first?!  And I'm so glad all my babies have a little darker skin than I do.  Although, either way, they're going to sunburn.  Easily and A LOT.

Daddy was trying to nap, he'd had a long couple of days.

Lilly couldn't wait to meet Olyvia.  She had gotten sick and been home from school that day due to a fever.  The nurses found masks for her and Andy to wear at home when we arrived so she could see and hold her.  Andy on the other hand, was more excited to see Michael and I.  I hope he stays this way for a while and just ignores her.

Let the visitation begin

Aunt Chelle, Uncle Chris and Nana couldn't stay away.  They left Sunday night and tried to make it time.  Missed it by about an hour.  It was snowing and Michael had told them that I was going to labor instead of opting for the c-section, so by the time they arrived my sister was a mess.  She later told me that before she left she had planned to take a shower and put on some make-up so she looked better in these pictures, but she didn't get that done.  She's just happy to not have on a hat in these photo's as she does with Lilly and Andy.  She's too funny.

Nana couldn't stop kissing her.  And looking at her hair.  "She is just precious!"

Aunt Cara and Aunt Tammy made it in finally!  The snow was an issue and Aunt Cara had to make lesson plans to be gone, but they still got to the hospital on the 8th.

Aunt Chelle, after sleeping for a while, a shower and some make-up.  This one's to make you feel better, Aunt Chelle.

My first bath, as told by Olyvia

Seriously?!  Seriously.  I've only been in this world, out of fluid, for less than an hour and now you're putting me back in fluid?  I'm confused and tired.  And WHY she scrubbing my head like this? 

I know, I know, I have a lot of hair.  I look like I've been in a wind tunnel.  Can someone fix that please?

Aw, now that's nice. 

Almost done, hopefully...

Get me a mirror so I can see how they've done!

Why?????? Oh, why did they do that to my hair?!?!

Thanks, mom and dad.  I now have a mohawk.  The other babies in the nursery are going to make fun of me.  Or be scared of me, I don't know which is worse.

Introducing...

Miss Olyvia Pauline Kimberlin

Born at 1:07 am on February 8th, 2010.

She weighed 6lbs 13oz and was 19 1/4 inches long.

She is a beautiful redheaded baby (of course!) and has a ton of hair.  

It's time! It's time!

Well, after a false start in the morning, we were finally admitted to the hospital.  My water broke and that was good because I'm not going home anyway!  It's snowing like crazy outside and, to be honest, the pain was too much and I wasn't leaving the hospital.  So to say it again, it's a good thing they were keeping me.  They called Dr. Maki and talked to her and we have decided to go for a VBAC.  I know my sister is going to be upset by this, but everything should be fine.

This was taken after I had gotten the epidural, thank goodness for that!
