Monday, May 24, 2010. HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY DANIEL! On April 7th, Daniel turned 30 years old! I threw him a birthday party with all of our family and some friends. We had a Bunco themed birthday party. Because half of the attendants where part of the Vrtiska clan, the party was L-O-U-D! It was soooo much fun. Everyone but Mike and Emily came from Daniel's side (Mike got sick) and everyone who lives in the area from my side came, including Stephanie and Daniel who drove up from Corvallis! Kayleen won $40 fo...

{the LONG life}: Happy Easter!
http://monicavrtiska.blogspot.com/2011/05/happy-easter.html
Monday, May 9, 2011. Just shy of four months old, Olivia celebrated her first Easter at the Jackson School Easter Egg Hunt. Well technically she spent her first Easter at church, but we're talking about the secular part of Easter. She wasn't scared of the huge bunny in the slightest. Apparently she has never seen Donnie Darko. freaky bunny! It was a beautiful day for an easter egg hunt and the sun was in her eyes, but she sure does look cute! Posted by Daniel and Monica Long. I love you and miss you too.

{the LONG life}: 9 Months and 34 Hour Labor
http://monicavrtiska.blogspot.com/2010/12/9-months-and-34-hour-labor.html
Tuesday, December 21, 2010. 9 Months and 34 Hour Labor. Where do I begin? Anyway, I was taken to our room where I was poked like a pin cushion! I cannot believe how painful those IV attempts were. When I found out they had to use an 18 gauge needle, I knew this would be painful. I know how big and how hard those 18 gauges can be to get and I was not excited. The first nurse who attempted was HORRIBLE! I continued to contract and eventually was talked into taking some Fentanyl IV. Why was I resisting?

Wednesday, June 1, 2011. What can I say, Olivia is an eating girl! Recently, Olivia discovered food. real food. Food that she doesn't have to work for. She really likes that. After weeks of wrestling her, I think she is back to actually enjoying nursing, but we can only cross our fingers. Here she is eating her baby food, with very good manners might I add. Sealed bag. So far so good. Thus far on the menu: Bananas, Pears, Carrots, Sweet Potatoes, and Squash. She likes them all, but no matter what you...

Monday, September 6, 2010. I haven't been the greatest with the blogging as of late. It's sad actually. I did take a four month picture, but never posted it. If my laptop ever starts working, I'll post that at some point. So as you can see, I'm 5 months pregnant. Technically, I'm 5 1/2 months today, but who's counting? A few weeks ago, Daniel and I discovered we are having a GIRL! She's a wiggle worm for sure! Cannot wait to meet these little monkey! Posted by Daniel and Monica Long. Welcome to Our Life.

Monday, June 14, 2010. Escape From Reality: Sisters Retreat! Because all eight of us were in the same city, we decided to make a night of it and stay at a hotel. We stayed at the Marriott. This picture is actually at the end of the night. We stayed up WAY too late playing games. We played BS, where Michele's infamous line is now often quoted when she announced rather matter of factly that she had two elevens! HAHA, clearly she didn't have any jacks! Such a good time! This was a night to remember! I know,...

{the LONG life}: 8 Months & Baby Showers
http://monicavrtiska.blogspot.com/2010/11/8-months-baby-showers.html
Saturday, November 27, 2010. 8 Months and Baby Showers. We're rounding the bend; she's almost here! I can see the finsih line and the anticipation to cross is really setting in! Nothing works. Sitting doesn't work. Standing doesn't work. Laying down definitely doesn't work. I've begun to learn that I just can't eat full meals anymore. Oh well! My mom and I went home with something like four candy bars. It was very fun and a game I might have to use in the future! Very eager, and excited parents-to-be!
