Couple of things



Last night baby Olivia Miller was born! She was 7lbs 12oz, and 20in and quarter long. It was an eventful night! Karie went into the hospital around 5:30 yesterday. They checked her out and monitored her and then moved her to a delivery room. Karie dealt with the pain like a trooper, she was given pitocin and had her waters ruptured without any pain medicine! I was impressed and also I was concerend at the same time. It is hard to watch a family member in pain, but she did amazing. She then had an epidural around 7:30, and within a half an hour she was dialated to ten! I was not expecting that. I was in labor with Kirt for 22 hours, and spent an hour pushing him out. Well I thought ok baby will be born any time now. Well yeah at 11:22 she was. Karie pushed for two hours! Olivia was not coming down the birth canal. Karie was exhausted and she was set on having a vaginal delivery with no episotomy. Well when it looked liked they were going to use other means to deliver her, Karie was able to push her out, she was huge! Her hand was up by her face while she was being pushed down; that and her size contributed to a long enduring time for Karie, but she did and tears of joy filled the room as baby Olivia was born. She had so much dark hair and she is just so beautiful not a mark on her. I'm so blessed to have shared that expiernce with Karie, Thank you and I love you!


















Today we spent the day with Nanna Icide and we all went swimming. The kids had so much fun! Kirt loves the water and was jumping in even though it was pretty cold!

Oh my goodness she is so cute :) Ya gotta make the pictures a leetle bit bigger though. Good job Karie for handling the pain so well, that is definitely not one of my strengths (handling pain). How fun that will be for Olivia and Jaren to be around the same age and be good close friends. Can't wait to see her! P.S. what does preston think of everything? How'd he do? DId he watch the delivery?
