Hello Everyone -
Josh and I have decided to create a blog to share with all our family and friends. Today is our 1 year anniversary and it has been a very busy year. We bought a house and 6 months ago we got news that we would no longer be a family of two, we are expecting our first child! This news was a BIG surprise but nothing could bring us more joy then growing our little family. We are having a little girl and her name is going to be Olivia Renee Leonard she is due on December 23rd 2008. She is growing fast now and so is my tummy! The doctors say Olivia is healthy which is such a blessing! It has been an amazing experience although there have been some bumps in the road. I don't know why they call it morning sickness because it turned out to be all day sickness and I'm one of those unfortunate moms who have been sick throughout the whole pregnancy. I stayed in the hospital for a couple of days this last week and now I'm on bed rest until the doctors tells me otherwise. Olivia is laying on a nerve and causing me a lot of pain (I hope this is not a glimpse into the future on what trouble she will cause as a teenager). Even though its been a rough pregnancy I wouldn't trade our little Olivia for anything. We are very excited to get her room all ready, we will be sure to post those pictures as they come. Here are a few pictures we would like to share with everyone! Please leave comments we would love to hear from you! Check back often we will keep this updated with all the new baby news!
We painted these for her room!
She has her hands over her eyes

This is the bassinet that a dear friend I work with gave us, we can't wait to replace that teddy bear with Olivia!!!
