Time with G'ma & G'pa (Char & Elroy)

Char & Elroy came to visit Oliver about a week after he was born. We had a great time with them. We were very busy though. Char and Elroy were sure put to work while they were here! They were a BIG help! They helped Ethan pack our stuff to move to our new house. Char cooked meals, Elroy fixed some of our furniture and both Char & Elroy helped watch Oliver - which I think was no chore. :) When we moved into our new house they helped unpack some of our stuff.

We had a lot of help when we moved. My parents came up and my cousin Ryan let us use his huge trailer to move our stuff. Brenda and my cousin Kara also helped us pack up. After Ryan and Justin drove the trailer to our new house and all the boxes were brought into the house Aaron and Nichole came over and we had pizza and soda for everybody that helped. Nichole tried to tell me a joke and I told her at the time I had no sense of humor. After only two weeks of having Oliver I was still completely exhausted. Thanks to all the wonderful people that helped us move, I was able to just stare into space and take care of Oliver, while everyone moved us.

We were sad to see Char and Elroy leave but we were glad that we got to have them for about 9 days, what a treat!

Yup! I know I have not added photos to the blog since before Oliver was born, and the only photos of Oliver on the blog are the ones Ethan added right after he was born. So I am sorry, I have just been just a little bit busy so you will have to forgive me. Now that I am going to add photos of Oliver, I will probably add to many because I am a very very proud Mommy! :)

I will start with photos from the hospital. I feel that everything went really well with Oliver's birth. My water broke and then I went to the hospital so I did not have to wait around until the pain became unbearable. I went to the hospital all giddy and excited. It is funny because Wednesday the 19th I felt some pressure but that much. - My boss said you can't have the baby tomorrow because we have so much work to do, and then she said oh I probably shouldn't say that because then you will have the baby tomorrow.....and yup sure enough at 5am in the morning my water broke.

It was crazy because that night there were over 70 births in the hospital! That is way way over the usual amount so I did not get my own private hospital room at first and they wouldn't let Ethan spend the night the first night. I was very sad, but at least they gave me a private room the 2nd night and Ethan stayed with us that night.

Oliver is such a good baby, I am very lucky! He only cried one very short time when he was born and then didn't cry at all after that in the hospital, not even when they gave him a shot. Now he almost only cries when he has a reason, like if he is hungry or has an upset tummy.
