One Month with Miss Liv

Hard to believe we have been home with our new bundle for a month.  She threw us a curve ball at about two weeks, after being an absolute angel and eating and sleeping like a champ, she decided to become a screamer and a terrible eater.  She loves to be snuggled and has to be bundled and have her binky to sleep and the second she gets put down she screams!  She will nap all day in my arms, if only I had all day to snuggle her! She is still very sweet and such a good baby, just isn't super content when she is awake and not being held.  She is eating about every 2.5 hours and prefers the bottle so I have been pumping a lot, but hoping she was get better at nursing and make my life much easier!  We just love this little babe and I am really trying to enjoy every stage with her and soak in the fact that she wants to be held 24/7 because I know it won't last long.  
Hated her first bath and hates getting her clothes and diaper changed.  She always wants to be warm and cozy!

Olivia's Newborn Pictures

This little girl was an absolute angel for her newborn session.  She slept the entire time and was so cooperative and squishy.  She is such a beauty.  I am obsessed withe these pics!












Love her!

Olivia Jane Scott

My goal of having this blog up to date before Olivia was born has been an epic fail.  I am still a good month behind, but I have got to update about our sweet baby.  The little details fade and I want to remember every little thing about this stage of her life.  Olivia Jane Scott was born on August 20th at 12:10 pm.  She weighed 7 lbs 8 oz and was 20 inches long. She was my first baby to be induced and proved me wrong in my determination that she would arrive before her induction date.  Well she didn't.  We arrived bright and early to Ogden Regional, after calling in multiple times and having them say to call back in a half an hour, etc. Once I got situated things progressed really fast.  My doctor happened to be there that morning already and so she came in and broke my water after I started the pitocin.  That really got my contractions going and I quickly requeseted the epidural and it was a good thing because I started feeling a lot of pressure and my checked me and said "there's a baby" and quickly called for my doctor.  My doctor had me give a test push to see how things were going and the baby literally slid right out of me.  I didn't even give one real push.  Easiest labor ever! She was pink and screaming and perfect in every way. She was born 3 hours after my water broke.  The most difficult 9 months of my life were instantly worth it when I laid eyes on her.
So tiny and so perfect



 So excited to meet her new baby sister!

  Logan didn't know what was going on and had a hard time seeing me in the hospital bead.  He had no interest in the baby and when we were leaving the hospital he was upset and wanted the baby to stay there. Luckily he finally came around to the idea of having a new baby in the fam!
