Mimi's first visit

Mimi came on Friday to stay with us for the weekend. We had lots of fun all together. We went for our first stroller ride on Saturday morning. Bailey was so happy to finally get back to our walks. Check her out trying to sleep on Charlie's (Mimi's dog) bed. Rob was working all weekend so it was nice to have someone there share the workload with. Mimi showed off her gourmet skills and cooked me breakfast, lunch and dinner. She also gave me a break and took Olivia for the nights. We can't wait to see her again!

Grandpa!

Olivia was so happy for her Grandpa to come to see her. On my side of the family, we don't have any grandpas so it's very special to have Rob's dad. Look how relaxed she is on his shoulder. With Grandpa around, you don't have to worry about going hungry. He was so nice to go grocery shopping and pick up food for us anytime we needed it. What a huge help! We also enjoyed watching the Rangers games together.

Grandmommy's here

Grandmommy came to stay with us for our first few days. Thank you!!!! Olivia spent lots of time sleeping in her lap and on her shoulder in the rocking chair. It was a team effort to give Olivia her first sponge bath. She wasn't too crazy about it at the beginning, but she did enjoy it once we turned her over onto her stomach. I got to sleep longer in between night feedings because Grandmommy took Olivia to her bedroom and put her to sleep. I was so excited to get some much needed shut eye. We also had a good time taking videos, pictures, getting the webcam to work and discussing how Rob and Amy were as babies. See you again soon!

The Bereuter Dress

Big Gaga handmade this dress for her kids to wear home from the hospital. All 12 Bereuter kids wore the dress starting with Grandpa over 60 years ago. Since then almost all of the grandkids and great grandkids have worn the dress home as well. We are so honored to be a part of the family history.

We are family

As you can see, we're all a little tired after our big day.
















Mimi, Grandmommy, Grandpa and Aunt Kim all greeting Olivia for the first time. Aunt Sue, Krista, Sheila and Trent were also there for our first night together.

It's a girl!!

Olivia finally arrived at 5:00 pm sharp, just in time for happy hour! Everything went smoothly with the delivery. Mommy and Daddy were very relieved to have a happy, healthy, beautiful baby girl.

Leaving for the hospital

Here we go! The next time we come home we'll have our little son or daughter in our arms. It has been a long 41 weeks, but we've finally reached the end of one phase and are about to start the next one. Mom and Kim are coming to meet us at the hospital and help pass the time until the morning.
