Eating Solids For The First Time
Our baby girl is 4 months old and growing up so fast. As you can see here, she can sit up with support, which she loves to do. She had her four month well baby checkup and we got the "ok" to start solids. This is our experience. The first video is from the first night, the second video is from the second night.

Always keep moving!
With parenthood comes many lessons. We have learned that riding in the car calms Olivia down. It relaxes her and she will usually fall asleep. We have also learned that when the car is moving she is fine, if we stop she gets fussy. We saw this commercial, and we can TOTALLY relate!

Olivia Faith Adams
Olivia Faith Adams has finally arrived! Her birthday was one of the happiest days of my life and we are cherishing every moment. We feel very blessed to be a part of this little miracle baby's life!
It all started when I started having pretty intense contractions about 10 minutes apart on Tues. June 8, around 7:30pm. I wasn't sure if it was the real thing or not, so I let it play out. By the time I was ready for bed, they had become about 5 minutes apart and I could not sleep through them. I woke Mark up and we headed to the hospital. When we arrived at the hospital, around midnight on June 9, the nurse informed us that I was only at a 1. I felt very disappointed, because I was so ready to meet our little girl. After I was checked, the doctor came in and said that she didn't want to send me home just yet. She told us to walk for an hour. That hour of walking felt like the longest hour of our life! After the hour of walking, I was checked again and informed that I was at a 2 1/2!!! I was in labor!!!! Shortly after that my water broke. I was moved into labor and delivery. No turning back now. After 16 hours of active labor and some major fluctuations in Olivia's heart rate, the doctors felt that it was best for me and Olivia to have a C-section. Within 15 minutes of the word C-section, I was prepped and ready to deliver. Within 15 minutes of me being in the operating room Olivia had arrived. She was absolutely beautiful. She was born June 9, at 6:47pm, 6lbs, 7oz, 20in long.
Being able to see our daughter for the first time was the most amazing feeling. At that moment, I never thought I could feel so much love for something to small. And now every time I look at her, I can see just how much God loves us! He has given us this beautiful baby girl to love. Something that we thought was never going to happen. She is such a little blessing.

40 Weeks!!! I made it.
Here we are, 40 weeks pregnant, the day I am due. Still no baby yet. I will be induced on Thursday, June 10 at 8pm, if she decides to stay until then. What an amazing journey this has been. It is so humbling to know that God cares about me enough to give me the desire of my heart, which is to be a mom. I have dreamed about this for a long time and it is finally happening. Mark reminded me this evening that tomorrow night will be our last night at home, just being Mark and Sarah, and then after that we will become a family of three. I love the sound of that! I want to thank everyone who has been a part of this journey with us. Thank you for your love and support. We love you all!

37 Weeks SOOO close!!
Total weight gain/loss: I don't know, they have stopped telling me. Lol.
Stretch marks? Ugh!
Sleep: NOPE!! Not at all. I actually dread bedtime. I am up every 30 minutes.
Best moment this week: Knowing that she is due in less than 20 days.
Movement: She is getting pretty crowded in there, but she is still moving a lot.
Food cravings: Fish
Labor Signs: I have been having contractions. Apparently they are all practice ones, cause I haven't started to dilate at all yet.
Belly Button in or out? Still in but very stretchy.
What I miss: SLEEP!!!
What I am looking forward to: Meeting our sweet baby girl!!!!
Weekly Wisdom: Salt is not your friend.
Milestones: I am officially full-term
At 37 weeks, your baby's body is developed enough to survive outside of the womb. Her lungs, now filled with amniotic fluid, are ready to take her first breaths of air. Her eyelids flutter open and shut preparing for her first view of you. This baby is just about done growing inside you. That means it could be anytime now! At nearly six pounds, six ounces and 14 inches in length (crown to rump), she has now reached about the size of an average watermelon and will continue to stay at that size until she is born.

Wow! 36 weeks...Baby Olivia could come at any time!
Well here we are at week 36. I am amazed at how fast this has all gone by. It feels like just yesterday that we were announcing to everyone that we were finally going to be parents! What a journey this has been, from being told that we would not be able to conceive on our own to experiencing all the highs and lows of pregnancy. As much fun as this has been, I am soooo ready for her to be here so we can start the next journey of being parents.

Week 34
Your unborn baby's muscles are maturing along with the rest of her body. She can hold her head up and turn it from side to side. She'll practice her newfound muscle tone by stretching out her arms and kicking her legs. If you are indeed having a boy, the testes have descended into their proper place. Your baby's eyes are now open when awake, and closed when sleeping. Most of the lanugo is gone and replaced with a thick coat of vernix. This week your baby is about 12.8 inches (crown to rump) and weighs nearly five pounds. About the size of a hefty honeydew.

Week 33
Total weight gain/loss: +16 lb
Stretch marks? Itchy!
Sleep: Heartburn keeps me up during the night. But when I am asleep, I sleep pretty well.
Best moment this week: My baby shower and getting her nursery all put together.
Movement: Her kicks are becoming stronger. It's no longer the little flutters. When she moves, she moves with purpose!
Food cravings: Nothing this week. I haven't felt as hungry as I usually do.
Labor Signs: I have been having some contractions. Nothing consistent yet.
Belly Button in or out? Still in.
What I miss: Seeing things on the floor, like my feet.
What I am looking forward to: Being within a month of her arrival!!!
Weekly Wisdom: Slow down, kick your feet up, and drink water.
Milestones: Month 8 is underway! 1 more month to go!
Your unborn baby's senses continue to develop. If you talk to your baby, she can hear you. In fact, her world is full of sounds. In addition to your voice, she can hear your stomach growling and your lungs taking in air, along with the reassuring vibrations of your heart beating. Also, your baby's skin has turned from red to pink and she has started preparing for life outside the womb by storing iron in her liver. This week your baby stretches to around 12 inches (crown to rump) and weighs in at about four pounds, eight ounces. She is now about the size of a duck.
