Olivia Gwen {Birth Story}
It’s been a while, huh? Well, I realized I never wrote the story of how my newest little monkey, Olivia, was born. Now that she’s over a year old, I figured it was time to document it (oops).
This was my 4th pregnancy, and not as bad as some of the others. I was nauseous and threw up, of course. But not as much! And the nausea went away when I was about 6 months along. It was definitely more taxing on my body though. I am getting old, I guess 🙁
After going through Lincoln’s birth, I was terrified of not being able to get an epidural. So I asked my doctor if we could schedule an induction. He agreed, and it was scheduled for Tuesday, May 16th.
About 2 weeks before the induction date, I decided to take a nice bath with all kinds of yummy-smelling things.

The Wednesday (or Thursday… it was a long time ago!) before my induction, the itchiness in my feet went bonkers. I had a hard time falling asleep, it was so bad….

Letters and Numbers Ball Game
Living in a small town has it’s perks (everything is within a 10 minute drive and there’s never traffic!), but it also has it’s downfalls. Our town doesn’t have any preschools! It’s kinda crazy. We have daycares, but I’m just not a daycare fan. And you have to pay for full day, even if you…

This might be the most simple art project in existence, but is still so much fun! I was surprised at how much Sophie got into it. When we started on the first leaf, she was squealing like it was magic. So cute. And yes, if you’re wondering, she had chocolate on her face in these pictures…
How to Survive Eating Out With a Toddler
Jonny and I have always loved going out to eat. It’s so much fun, and the whole “no cooking or cleaning up” thing isn’t too bad, either 🙂 Once we started having kids, though, we quickly realized eating out was not as fun as it once was. How are you supposed to enjoy your meal…

DIY Monster Wreath
I honestly wished I had filmed my 2-year-old’s reaction to this monster wreath. It was priceless. He got this shocked look on his face, and kept giggling and saying “woah!” Then he went into dino-mode and started growling at it and pretending to bite it. He’s a bit on the crazy side… but we love him…
