Oliver's First pictures!

The Clarkes came today to see baby Oliver and Brittany took some pictures for me.  His jaundice is really bad, so we had to make them black and white.  :/

 

Bilirubin kept going up so we had to make several trips to the dr to have it checked.  He was poked 4 times before it finally started going down.  Poor little buddy.  :(

Oliver Grant Hayes

Oliver was born at 4:12am November 19th. He weighed 9.8 lbs and was almost 22 inches long. Big and completely perfect!!

It's "go time!"

39 weeks and 6 days! Heading to the hospital Sunday night. Contractions about 5 minutes apart. I am ready to get this baby OUT!!! Boy or girl?!? We can't wait to find out!

Magnolias!

The magnolia's are in bloom in our neighborhood and my kids LOVE them!!

Half Iron Man/Relay day!!

Big day today!  Some of the Sharps, Clarkes and Hayes' participated in a half iron man today in Columbus, GA!  Adam and Andrew did the whole thing (1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike, 13.1 milke run) and we had two relay teams.  Team 1: Sarena (swam and biked) and Travis (ran), and Team 2: Makenzie (swam), Trevor (biked) and me (I ran).  The racers went down to Columbus Friday afternoon and stayed the night.  This was an early morning pic, about 6am, heading to the start...

The racers!!!  Woo Hoo!!!

My relay team!

Andrew, about to swim.  He is third from the right in the back row...

 Andrew coming in off the bike...

 Andrew and I running.  I was so relieved when Andrew and Trevor came in from the bike around the same time so Andrew waited for me to start running.  (Andrew had the latest start time because of his age bracket so he was the last to enter the water...) I was pretty nervous about running the half by myself...so it definitely worked out in my favor!!  Thanks, babe, for running with me!  I seriously could not have done it with out you!

At the finish line!

Britt took these next two pictures of my kids and I thought they were adorable...

Our fam!  Glad it is over!! :)

I completed my half marathon in 2:27.  Made it under my goal of 2:30.  Andrew did his half iron in 6:24.  (That is his birthday, by the way....Crazy!!!)

Wetsuit!

Andrew got a wetsuit for his half iron man coming up this weekend.  He went and tried it out in our neighbor's pool.  He said he felt like he was floating!  Guess that's a good thing...  ??
