Happy Holidays to all!

Greetings family and friends. It's been a wonderful season of firsts for our family. Caelan is growing like a weed. In the short 10 weeks he's been with us he's gained almost 4 1/2 pounds and grown 2 inches! He's expressing himself with new sounds every day. His coos and ahhs are sweetness to the ears! Caelan is a very happy baby and loves listening to his mommy and daddy singing him silly songs every chance they get. He's becoming more aware of his surroundings and more familiar with family and friends. Caelan has been a true joy and the greatest gift in our lives. We're enjoying every minute and look forward to watching him grow and learn.

Hope you all had a merry Christmas!!!!

Caelan's first hike

We celebrated Caelan's 2 week birthday with his first hike! Mama OC carried the snoozer up the M while a proud Daddy OC took pictures! And Ninita joined in on the fun too.........receiving more compliments than our handsome newborn.

A 2 week birthday celebration wouldn't be complete without gifts. Caelan posed for his very first ski pass to Bridger Bowl! He'll be ripping freshies soon!

She can change diapers too!

Caelan River O'Callaghan

Team OC is proud to announce the arrival of our newest team member, Caelan River O’Callaghan! Forced into the world at 2:20 am on Oct. 17th, he weighs 7.8 oz and is 19.5 inches long. Casey and Caelan are both doing great!

T - Minus 3 Hours

After 20 hours of being induced and only 1.5 centimeters dilated, the doctor states that the squatter may make it another day unless active labor starts within 3 hours.

Not being ready to let the squatter win his first battle while still in the cooker, Casey gets determined and her contractions start hitten hard. At 6:09 pm her water brakes and it is game on...how fast can they get the epidural in...

Legal Loop Hole

Tenant finds legal loop hole and has eviction notice standoff....his squatters rights were not going to last long.

The boy listens through the wall as all try to beat down the door to serve the eviction notice.

The Eviction Notice Has Been Given

Our doctor's appointment today exclaimed 'more of the same'. The doctor recommended we evict Caelan.

We politely asked that Caelan leave the place as he found it.

Dialation begins at 8pm and if the labor doesn't start naturally they will administer pitocin Friday morning.

Maternity photos

A big thank you to Elizabeth Gilje for taking maternity photos of Ryan and I at 37 weeks! Click here to view the pictures.

Any day now!

We've run out of room in this belly of mine and Caelan is recieving his final eviction notice. Our 41 week appointment is tomorrow and we'll be checked to see if my body is ready to be induced. Ryan and I are still hoping Caelan comes on his own but we're also very eager to meet him!

39 weeks!

Today marks 39 weeks pregnant. We'll be welcoming Caelan any day now! Our bags are packed and the carseat installed. We're as ready as we'll ever be. At this point we're just taking things one day at a time and enjoying our last days as a family of three.

Our furbaby

She is the center of our universe. She has ruled the roost for over five years. She has a bed in every room and she picks out her own treats every morning. She's Ninitahan Banahan O'Callaghan. Princess Pea. Neeterz. Ninito. We like to think we're in charge, but then again, if we really were in charge, we wouldn't have to lift a 125 pound dog into the back of the pickup because she's too lazy (or stubborn) to jump in on her own. Oh, how her life is about to change.
