Our reasons for living!

Olivia Claire Encarnacion was born on February 3, 2010 at 7:48PM.  She weighs 6 lbs and 5 ounces and is 19 inches in length.

The labor wasn’t intense, it wasn’t too hard, but the delivery part was a bit tougher than expected.  Olivia is a little bit bigger than her 5 year old sister at birth.  Airis (Iris) was 5 lbs and 14 ounces and slipped out like a fish, where as Olivia decided that she wanted to be a bit more difficult and required a little bit of vacuum suctioning to get her out.  I was joking when I had mentioned busting out the Dyson vacuum during my labor.

Here are some photos that captured our memorable day.  To relive our day with us check out our slideshow.

Yes SJ Sharkie came to visit me during my labor!! It was definitely memorable!

I love that I have SJ Sharkie as my cheerleader.  Nearly three years ago he made signs to help Jonathan propose to me at the Shark Tank during a game.  Now he’s got a “push” sign for me to help me through my labor and delivery. 

They had to use a vacuum suction to get Miss Olivia out since her heart rate was stressed during the two hours of pushing.

First stop: Willow Glen, Powell Sweet Shoppe.  A place full of nostalgia from the past and present.  I love this place, its makes me feel like a kid in a candy store.

A drive through the backroads of San Jose. (Joanne driving of course)

The apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree.  Goofy little Airis!!

Sunday’s adventures:  Petryoglyph in Willow Glen.

Last stop:  The Cheesecake Factory at Valley Fair Mall….NOM NOM NOM…FOOD!!!

For your viewing pleasure we did make a slideshow of our weekend.  Its our last weekend to enjoy our Terrific Trio before Olivia Encarnacion graces the world with her presence.  Definitely an awesome weekend and we are so looking forward to our many adventures as a family of four!!
