My first Mother's Day at last!

My first Mother's Day...a day I have been waiting for for 9 years...Olivia is amazing!

Tia Corina came to see Olivia

Tia Corina and Grandma came to see Olivia today. It was so much fun to talk and laugh with Tia!

Two Months old!

Olivia is two months old now and is growing fast. We are still trying to adjust to parenthood, but I think we are doing fine. She sleeps more at night, and seems to notice her mom and dad. She smiles every now and then and we can't wait until she gives us her first giggle. She went to church for the first time on Easter Sunday and Grandma and Grandpa gave her her first Easter basket and outfit.

March...getting to know Olivia

So many hugs!

So much love!

My first time meeting Auntie Annie & Uncle Rudy

My sister came to visit for a week! She really helped me feel more at ease as a new, sleep deprived mom. What a blessing she was to Olivia and me! I was sad to see her go back to Dallas.

Our Precious Olivia Petra Stautzenberger

She is here! Olivia was born on February 11, 2008!

We are so happy and very tired.

We thank everyone for all the prayers, love and support.

We'll post more soon.

Our First Baby Shower

My sister, my mom, my two nieces and my wonderful sisters-in-law hosted a big baby shower for me.

My friends from work and church came and everyone was such a blessing!

I was so touched that some came from very far to be there for me.

My family spoke blessings over me and the baby, it was the sweetest gift.

Here are my nieces...the hostesses of the year, taking a well deserved cake-break. They did a wonderful job!

Our Second Baby Shower

We are so grateful for such a wonderful family!

My mother-in-law and my sisters-in-law hosted another wonderful baby shower for us. Anthony and I had a great time. We were so blessed that so many family and friends traveled to Austin to celebrate!

We received so many wonderful gifts, especially a hand-knitted sweater made by Lisa! I cried, I was so touched!

Even the Stautzenberger family came all the way from Houston to be there!

A good time was had by all, this is my favorite photo!There is nothing like a laugh between sisters!
