. . . in the beginning . . .

Robin began to look like she was wearing a bad movie prop. She was all belly.



Things did not go as planned, after 40 hours of contractions Oliver got stuck. We would soon find out why.



On Sunday, April 05 at 5:59pm, Oliver came out Caesar style, all 10 lbs 2.6 ozs of him (!!!).



After a quick towel off, he was given a clean bill of health.




A thorough search was conducted for a hat big enough to fit his head. An exhausted Oliver went down for a nap, flashing a sign to all his homies back in the womb.

  5. Um. I'm sorry but did that say "40 hours"?!!!!!
    Wowzers. Well Oliver, it is wonderful to finally see your lovely face and just between you and me I am secretly glad that you were born with the Moon in late Leo. See you've already started out being a drama king. :) Hugs!

  6. You guys are troopers, and Oliver is the second cutest baby ever! OK, maybe he and Tommy can tie. :-)

    We love you!
