The First Week!

Yesterday, Olivia was 1 week old. It is hard to imagine life without her already. We had a week full of firsts! Here are some pictures from the past week.

Coming Home!

We got discharged from the hospital on Wednesday afternoon. We were so excited to get back home. We were ready to spend some time as a family and introduce Olivia to Berkley. We felt so bad leaving Berkley at home on Sunday or shall I say Monday very early in the morning. We left for the hospital a little after midnight and got to the hospital at 1am. We decided Berkley should just stay at home until Kristen could pick her up Monday morning. She was very confused and sad when we left. We were also anxious to see her reaction to her new baby sister.

All buckled in and ready for the ride home.

Berkley greeted Olivia on the front porch and gave her a friendly sniff and snort.

The Complete Family.

It's a Girl! Welcome Olivia Rene Alvey

Olivia Rene Alvey was born on September 21st at 9:06am. She was 7lbs 4oz and 20.5in. We are all doing great. Labor and delivery went very smooth. We are so excited that to we have this beautiful, healthy baby girl. She has a perfectly round face, bright blue eyes, and the fullest head of dark brown hair. We already can't imagine our lives without her. We love her so much!

Getting all cleaned off!

39 Weeks

We have made it to 39 weeks and now we are just waiting. Everything is ready to go once the baby decides to make its move. It won't be long now!

Welcome Ayela and Makenna Hoehn!

On Thursday, September 3rd, our nieces Ayela Marie and Makenna Ann were born. Everyone is doing great and the girls were very healthy! Ayela weighed 5lbs 3oz and Makenna weighed 5 lbs 10oz. We are sad that we couldn't go to Evansville to meet them but with me being 37 weeks pregnant, we couldn't make the 3hr trip. We can't wait to meet them after our baby arrives.

Congratulations Jenn and Chad!

The Proud Daddy!

How Sweet!

Getting Ready to Go Home!

All buckled in to go home!

5 Year Anniversary!

Yesterday was our 5 year wedding anniversary. We celebrated by going out to Sullivan's, nice steakhouse. We figure this will be our last sophisticated dinner before the baby comes. It was a nice evening. I can't believe that 5 years have gone by already and now our first baby is due in 3 weeks (currently 37 weeks pregnant). In the past 5 years, we have sold our first house, lived in a rental house, designed our dream house, and moved into our dream house. We have had a great 5 years and I can't wait to see what the next 5 years will hold.

Congratulations Matthews Family!

Blake and Big Brother Jack

Our Friends Scott and Christy welcomed their second son, Blake Daniel on September 2nd. We are so excited that he is finally here. He is a very cute and mature looing newborn. Big Brother Jack is super excited and is already being very helpful. Blake and our baby will be playmates and best of buddies hopefully since the Matthews are our neighbors. I am excited to have Christy on maternity leave while I will be so I have someone to spend time with and go on walks with during the day.

Another cute picture of Jack that I couldn't pass up posting.

Hubertz Baby Shower!

On Saturday, my sister Kristen threw me a wonderful baby shower. We had a wonderful afternoon and I would like to thank her for everything! It was great seeing my family and friends. I am officially 36 weeks and only have 27 more days until my due date. Baby Alvey will be here before we know it and we are finishing getting everything ready.

Yummy Cupcakes for Dessert!

Cute rattle favors that were delicious Rice Krispie Treats and Skillet Cookies. A skillet cookie is Hubertz/Kazmucha Family Favorite Cookie usually made around Christmas and honestly one of my favorites (a close second to my Aunt Sue's Almond Cookies).

Now we just have to wait and see what Baby Alvey will be -a boy or a girl!

The Dog Days of Summer

The summer heat and extra activity brought on by a special visitor, Owen, made Berkley very tired. Scott and I knew that eventually Berkley would figure out that cold air comes out of the floor vents. So, Monday after her play date with Owen, she decided to completely cover the air vent with her belly and take a much need nap.

Owen kept a watchful eye on Berkley even while playing with his toys.

Waiting and watching as Berkley approaches.

Owen and Berkley did a good job of playing together. They were both intrigued with each other. I can't wait to see what B does once the baby arrives. I imagine they will be best of friends by this time next year.

Alvey Family Baby Shower!

This past weekend was my Alvey Family Baby Shower. It was nice shower and I received many nice gifts. They had taco bar at the shower which everyone should know is my favorite type of food. Here a some pictures from the shower.
