It doesn’t get much better than this…
Yes, Olivia arrived early! And my tackle plans for the week suddenly changed.
I did not get to cross off all the things on my to do list for the week. I didn’t finish tackling my filing mess on my kitchen table, go shopping, work on the shower post, nor finish organizing Olivia’s and Jackson’s rooms, to name just a few things. I didn’t even pack my bags for the hospital! (While in labor, I did manage to pack, sort some of the papers on my kitchen table and quickly put together the shower photo before leaving for the hospital. But unfortunately I left all the other work for the big shower post on Susan’s weary shoulders.)
So my house isn’t in the order that I had hoped for it to be, nor am I caught up with all my emails and other work. But what to do – babies don’t wait. 🙂
And of course I couldn’t be more thrilled than to get to meet my little Olivia early! (And to have giving birth over – I feel so bad that Susan still has to go through it!)
I am ecstatic with our precious daughter – she is definitely the most beautiful “tackle” I have ever posted. Here she is: Olivia Jenae when she was one day old.
Also – may I stay a HUGE thank you to all of you for your wonderful comments and support! What a sweet gift to get to read all your kind words about Olivia. THANK YOU!
So what did you tackle this week?
Oh lord Im gonna have some nasty pictures!
Janice,
Olivia is so adorable!! I’m 25 weeks pregnant with our first child…a boy. We couldn’t be more excited! I only hope my child is that cute at Day 1. Congrats!!
Wow! Olivia is even cuter after one day!! Janice, you mentioned all your ‘un-done’ to-do things, well here’s a poem that may help make you feel better about your to-do list: Cleaning and scrubbing can wait ’til tomorrow, for babies grow up we learn to our sorrow, so quiet down cobwebs, dust go to sleep, I’m rocking my baby and babies don’t keep! 🙂
I had this on a plaque when our children were small and memorized it. I needed “permission” to let some things go that really weren’t as important as I thought. Thank you for the reminder that I am now passing on to my daughter who just had her 3rd child 🙂
What an amazing tackle – the world is so blessed to have her here!
God Bless!
I’m sorry I left a link twice here and it was meant to be for WW. I’m just a little nuts this morning. I can’t figure out how to delete it! Sorry! But, great tackle by the way!!! 🙂
Congratulations on the birth of your beautiful Olivia!!!

Oh Olivia is beautiful. You have a very valid reason for not getting anything accomplished. Enjoy that precious little gift.

Ok, mine isn’t really a Tackle it Tuesday post, but I re-did the whole new layout for my blog, it took days to figure it out, and I finally today got a new look for my site! I’m not a PC person, so I’m so proud of myself!

She is truly beatiful. Seems like I am not the only one with an unusual twist on the tackle for the week. How early was she? Take it easy and don’t try to finish all those things on your list at once.
Congratulations!
