Introducing … our newest addition, William Knight Olson!
As promised, I have enjoyed taking a little time away from the blog to enjoy the first few days with our new little man. He arrived at 9:11 p.m. June 25, and was 7 pounds, 13 ounces and 21 inches long. Charles and I have been absolutely blown away by friends and family dropping off gifts and food, and sending cards and well-wishes! We are definitely feeling very loved right now and are so appreciative to have such wonderful people in our lives to share this exciting time with. A special shout out to my sisters Elizabeth and Paula, and my mom and mother-in-law for all of their help! These 4 ladies are lifesavers! (My mom is actually with William right now so I can spend some time in my office writing this post and catching up!)
As you may have seen on my instagram, #bebeOlson decided to hang out a little longer than planned, and ended up coming a full week late! On my due date (June 18), I still felt perfectly fine and was up making blueberry pancakes first thing that morning. Ha! I actually didn’t really mind that last week of extra time to sleep, and get last minute little things in order. Although it was a little nerve racking knowing at any minute things could change very quickly! Luckily it all ended up working out, as I got scheduled for inducement on June 25 at 7am, but by the time I showed up for the appointment that morning I was already having (mild) contractions, so clearly June 25 was his day! His heart rate kept dropping so we actually ended up having to do a c-section that night. Our families had to wait almost 15 hours that day to finally see and hold him! Phew! It was a whirlwind experience but we’re just thankful he arrived healthy and happy!
I am looking forward to diving back into regularly scheduled programming soon, so stay tuned! I’ve been dying to shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, going on now, and share my finds! (Use hashtag #NSale to see everyone’s picks! It ends August 2nd.) Thank you for following along! xo
Congrats Tiffany!! He is absolutely perfect. I know you and Charles are enjoying your time with him and getting lots of good snuggles!
Congratulations!!!! So glad you and William had a healthy delivery! :)
