Nicole's Adventures

 Wowsas! Oliver will turn 5 months in 9 days (that makes today September 17th, in case I can't finish this today or soon :P)I cannot believe how fast it has gone, on the other hand it also feels like Ollie has been with us forever. Time is weird like that, but most definitely it's a thief!  Let's go back a bit.. in late June, Luke finally headed back to school after a long break to spend time with his grandparents and waiting for everyone to pass the chicken pox around his class. Even though he didn't catch chicken pox, he did spend half of the month home sick with ear infection and another fever that went away on it's own. Luckily these two viruses weren't passed on to Oliver.  I was really nervous because around the time that Luke caught his first virus, he started becoming super playful and excited to be around Ollie. In my mind I thought we had to be screwed and here came Ollie's first virus, but somehow he managed to stay healthy. We enjoyed some beach ...

  Gosh, Oliver is almost one month old already and it’s the first moment I’ve had (or I think I will have :P ) to write out his birth story. I love to look back on these type of events and see the details I wrote because things are so vivid at the time but memory fades the small things as time goes on.. or for me anyways. So I hope I remember it as clearly as the day it all happened. Around 37 weeks my doctor wanted me to come to the hospital where her colleague would be expecting me, to see how things were going. My private doctor wasn’t working that week, otherwise she would have had me visit a time she was working. Anyways, her colleagues were all a bit surprised and shocked and said that well it could literally be any minute now based on my cervical check. They said they would even consider keeping me, if I lived further away, but since we are just a short drive away, it was no problem.   More on that detail to come, later. So I go home from that appointment and hospit...
