She’s here! Our little peanut graced us with her presence on January 3rd at 6:30 pm. She’s perfect in every way and we couldn’t be happier to have her here finally!
She weighs in at 7 lbs. 13 oz. and is 20 inches long. She’s amazing and doing very well. PJ and I are also doing well after a very long day. We decided to have her sleep in the nursery between feedings last night and I think it really got us back on our feet quickly. We felt good today and we enjoyed the visitors we had today. INCLUDING….MY DAD! Not sure if you all remember, but my biggest upset about Olivia being so late is that my Dad had to return to Chicago on the 2nd. Well low and behold, my Dad wasn’t having any of that and surprised us here at the hospital tonight! He went to his meetings, and then turned right back around and came to see his first grandchild. Oh, my heart nearly exploded when I saw him see and hold her for the first time. Thanks Dad for making the journey and for staying until Saturday to get some time in with your granddaughter!
I know some of you are chomping at the bit for more pics so here’s what we have. Enjoy and get ready for many MANY more posts about Olivia and our new family. Did I mention that our hearts are full and we are so in love? We are 🙂
