10 days already

So, here she is!! Already 10 days old.  
We called in to the hospital on August 1 at 4:30 am to see if they had an opening for me to be induced. Labor and delivery shafted us and told us to wait until they could clear out a few rooms from a busy night.  We waited very impatiently but received the call around 8:30 am. We left right away and were checked in and had the pitocin started by 10:00 am. Labor went as expected and Olivia was born at 4:37 pm. The hospital was so busy that they sent us up to pediatrics to recover. That night Olivia had her first BM, which was a pretty exciting moment for us considering what happened with Jeshua.  They usually want to keep babies a full 24 hours but because of the full moon they had SO many deliveries (some women delivering in the hallway) they were begging us to leave. We were home by 2 that afternoon. WE love baby Olivia and are so happy that she is healthy and in our family!!
