Our little Olivia is here and she is ever so sweet. It is wonderful to have a tiny little baby in our home again. I love to just look at her and hold her. She has the cutest little cry and she already likes to keep us up at night. I think she has the day/night confusion thing going. So I gotta say that this was the best labor and delivery ever. I started contractions at about midnight but they weren't too bad so I just slept through most of them. Then at about 6:30 am I got up and started finishing packing my hospital bag and making sure the cameras and everything were ready to go. My contractions weren't super consistent but I knew they seemed to be coming a lot so at about 6:50 am I called my nurse/midwife and he didn't know if he should just see me at the office in an hour or if I should just head to McKay Dee hospital. We decided to meet at the hospital so I took a quick shower, we gathered our things and we left. I didn't know how far along I was but I didn't think it could be too far since the contractions didn't hurt as bad as they did with Luke. Well, when I got to the hospital they were getting a little more intense but when they checked me they said I was at 7.5-8 cm! I was so glad and felt like, once again, since I was that far along, that I could finish it natural and I did. Jordan was so sweet and just kept wiping my forehead with a cool cloth (exactly what I wanted). An hour later Olivia came and there were no complications and her head was perfectly round and she was all healthy! What more could we ask for? We felt so grateful that this was the case since things were a little scarier with Luke. These little lives truly are miracles. Luke likes to give Olivia kisses and poke at her head, eyes, and nose when he gets an occasional break from running around. Thankfully Jordan's mom has been watching Luke and is letting us stay with her. She is definitely a lifesaver! Life is very sweet and good. We are so thankful for our new little angel and Jordan just loves his little girl.

I can't believe she is here already! Congrats- she is such a pretty baby. And you are amazing to do it without the pain meds! We'll have to plan a get-together after our baby comes in the next week or two.
Congrats on the sweetie! (And on the good birth experience, of course.)
Your little family is just too adorable. We are so happy for you all. We will come visit soon, and then maybe next spring we could all go camping.

Wow..Just stumbled across your blog not expecting to read that since I last spoke to Jordan you had another baby. She is so beautiful!!! I am actually going to be getting a call any minute now to attend my first homebirth as a doula. I have attended 2 hospital ones. I am pretty excited..especially since I am planning one myself in March. We are having a little boy. Well, Hello to your whole family and I am so happy for you. - Sarah
