Our new baby girl.

I had my second doctors appointment today. Everything is going very well. We heard her heart rate again and Olivia was very curious about what was going on. All the tests from last time were normal and the ultrasound too. With Olivia my placenta was in the front of my uterus which prevented me from feeling much of her movement. Now is in the back and there is a major difference. I feel this little lady doing the conga all day! I have gained exactly as much weight as I should for this many months and she is approximately 1/2 lb.

We have settled on a name..... Isadora Lavinia Palma. Lavinia, like Artemisia, was a famous baroque artist in the 1600's I believe. She was a leader who encouraged many more women in her village to attempt Art which was extremely rare for women back then. Her full name was Lavinia Fontana and her paintings were very detailed. Isadora is a name we came across while we were searching. We wanted the name to start with a vowel, preferably an I or U, since all of our names start with different vowels. I fell for it right away but Albert took his time to think it over. I'm not sure if something else might change our minds, but for right now we are anxiously awaiting Ollie's little sister Issy. :)

Only 2 more weeks and we will see you all!! Lots of love!

See what happens when I play Ollie's Favorite Song

Olivia Walks

Can't decide if we need a new blog.

Well, here is the first belly pic for our new daughter. I can`t decide if she needs her own blog. I feel like a cheater putting her stuff on this one titled "baby olivia" but I also can't imagine I will keep up 2 blogs! We had another play date recently with our other families and it was awesome. Olivia had her first wadding pool experience. She loved it. She just sat there and splashed in the water. She also rode a little bike and watched all the kiddies walking around.
It is amazing the impact watching other children her age has on her. After the last playdate she came home and started drinking out of her sippy cup which we couldn't get her to figure out beforehand. THIS time she came home and walked the very next day!
She is becoming quite the little lady. She loves to talk on the phone and has started to throw tantrums when she doesn't get what she wants (which is only when she's with mama of course). I can't wait just a few more weeks until we see you all! I know she it going to be soo much more happy down there. She loves attention and to be surrounded by people so the South is her scene for sure. She will have lots to tell all of her grand parents because she is a babbling queen.
I will try to upload a better video soon. Love you all. Miss you mucho!
