Three Weeks Old!

I cant believe it, but Ian is three weeks old today! At our two week check up, Ian weighed nine pounds and grew 1 1/2 inches in length! He usually feeds every two hours, so we are still adjusting to the new sleep schedule, but lately Ian has started to sleep for three or hours at night so we hope this continues!


Ian's pets, Boomer and Charlie are still adjusting to the new sleep schedule as well! Boomer is very curious about Ian and wants to be near him. He has tried to give him "kisses" so we have been watching him close so Ian won't be covered in dog slobber! Charlie is somewhat interested. She likes to watch Ian from a distance.

As you can see, Ian has already changed in looks! We love watching his expressions and his personality develop.

Welcome to the World Ian Oliver!

Ian Oliver entered the world on Monday, November 30th, 2009 at 11:13pm. After laboring all day (water was broke at 8:30am) Ian reluctantly decided to join us!
Ian weighed a healthy 7lbs. 7 oz and was 20 1/2 in. long.



We were able to take Ian home on Wednesday, December 2nd and he was able to meet his Grandma Olson and Nana and Papa that evening!

Ian has his first doctor appointment on Monday, December 7th. We are eager to find out how much weight Ian has gained. In just one week, Ian is already changing in looks and growing big and strong. Here is a photo of proud Daddy O with Ian.

2 Days Past Due Date

Baby O has decided that our due date of Sunday, November 22nd will not be his/her birthday. We have had very mild contractions all afternoon today, but they do not seem to be growing in intensity. Our next doctor appointment is tomorrow (Wednesday) and if we are not in labor, we will talk about an induction date. Our doctor stated she won't induce us until we are a week overdue, so if Baby O doesn't pick a date soon, our doctor will most likely pick Sunday, November 29th to start labor!

We'll keep everyone updated!

Two Weeks and Counting!

We are now at 38 weeks and are only 14 days from our due date of November 22nd! At our doctor appointment on Friday, we learned that Baby O is head down and has a heartbeat of 150 bpm. Our Doctor said everything looks great and we just need to wait until Baby O is ready! We were also informed that they allow first time moms to go one week overdue before inducing labor. The positive spin I place on that is that the longest I could be pregnant is 3 weeks. Hopefully Baby O decides to come sooner rather than later, but we'll do whatever is best for our little Baby O.

The nursery is ready and just waiting for our Baby to arrive. I washed all Baby O's clothes and blankets this weekend. It was fun to look at each outfit again and imagine our Baby in it!

We are proud to announce that Casey & Boomer successfully completed their obedience training. We have noticed a significant difference in them and they seem much more comfortable now that the "pack order" has been established. We learned that we needed the training as much as we did! It was nice to spend one-on-one time with the boys and they thrived on the attention and praise!

Five Weeks To Go!

We are at 35 weeks in our pregnancy and begin our weekly doctor appointments this Friday. Baby O is still extremely active, keeping me up at night with kicks and somersaults!

Even though everything is still going well, the miseries of the third trimester have started: heartburn, back pain and shortness of breath since I can't expand my lungs completely. We are getting more and more anxious to meet our little Baby O!

The nursery is now complete and only needs to be organized a little more. The room is so relaxing and cozy, we hope Baby O will enjoy it!

Our next doctor appointment is Friday and we'll try to have an update soon after!

Baby Olson!

Welcome to our blog! Kurt and I are excited to share the news that we are having a baby! Even though our hearts (and house) are full with our "fur babies", we will be adding a little Olson! Our due date is November 22nd, 2009.
We'll do our best to keep the blog updated!
