Happy Father's Day Joel!!

Joel's very first father's day! And he deserves every 24 hours. He has been absolutely amazing. His love for Olivia is just spilling out of him. I am continually in awe of him. Seeing him with Olivia, holding her, kissing her, talking to her, checking on her all the time when she's sleeping...I fall more in love with him everyday minute. He is just so gentle and loving with her. He loves every second that he gets to spend with her.





So getting ready for church this morning was quite the production!

We get up around 7:00 to the sounds of Olivia waking up. I start feeding her and Joel goes to take a shower. After he gets out of the shower, I am finishing up feeding and Joel takes up holding and playing with Olivia.
I know my plan after that was to go eat breakfast and take shower. Because of a major spit up incident...I had to get cleaned up. I managed to get Olivia all cleaned up and the area where we were. At this point..I still have spit up all over my neck area. I make it downstairs get a bowl of cereal and make use of my time by carrying around the bowl with me while attempting to clean up and transfer laundry. (Joel has been amazing with helping with that kind of stuff!!!) I go into the bathroom...brush my teeth and wash my face.
Joel comes in and says Olivia is hungry. I kind of laugh because I thought I just fed her. But then I realized it was like 9:00. Commence feeding...while walking around trying to find something to wear...trying desperately to get ready in time. Church starts at 10.
I finish feeding. Hand Olivia off to Joel.
Joel gets Olivia into her cute little dress. A little bit later we change her diaper....and she pees all over and some of it manages to get on her outfit. We pick out another cute dress and pray that she can manage to last in it!
Realize my clothes are not dry. Finish getting ready in the bathroom...sans shower.
Go downstairs and pull out almost dry clothes and get dressed. At this point I realize I still have spit up all over me. Finally I'm ready, Joel's ready...and we are only going to be about 1o minutes late.
From 7:00 am and 9:50 when we walked out the door...Olivia's diaper had to be changed 5 times!

Oh how I love, love LOVE this new life!!!
