Olivia Hijacks Blog

Hi! This is Olivia!
I am taking over posting on the blog for awhile, because I was reading the past few entries and realized that Mommy has become extremely boring.  I have a computer that is pink and snazzy and so I will do just fine blogging until Mommy gets more interesting. I think November has  gotten to her. It is National Adoption Awareness Month, and Mommy and Daddy had a lot of stress during the years they were trying to adopt.  I am glad they hung in there, so they could be my Mommy and Daddy.  I know Mommy wishes that I could have the big brother Jacob, but Daddy says we just have to trust in the good Lord.  So much in life is mystery. Like yams!   What is up with that!?

So what I want to tell you today is that I had my blood drawn to recheck my thyroid numbers since I had an increase in my medicine a month ago.  I think I am doing fine. But the endocrinologist says "show me the numbers".  The procedure went well.... enough.  Daddy put a cream on my arms before we left home that numbed my arms.  I took some Ibuprofen for my teeth, and I think it helped my whole body.  I also used some ora-jel. Don't know if that mattered, but there were a lot of things to numb me going on. We also went in the morning, when I was not tired or hungry.  The girls did a good job. They found my vein while Mommy was still holding me, then they laid me down for the blood draw.  I only cried sporadically, and I did not fight as hard as I usually do.  It was quick and I soothed rather quickly afterwards.  Then I was ready to greet my adoring fans with a big wave and a smile. I thought I saw Grandma and Grandpa, and I called out to them, but no such luck, it was just some other good looking older people.

This is me imitating Daddy! Daddy works on his computer all day. I don't know what he does., but this is my best impression yet of Daddy working.   This is crunch time at the office. I think that means that Daddy might crunch his computer if things get too hectic.  But seriously now folks.  Daddy has a great job!  He gets to work from home when he doesn't have to be in the office. That means that I can go by his office and wave at him.  But I don't hang around for long, because his work is sort of boring if you are only 18 months old.
