Olivia is here

Olivia Lou Wirthlin was born at 2:28, measuring 18 3/4 inches and weighing 6lbs. 15oz. (no one won the guess her stats game, so we dodged the bullet of having to award a prize). She came in impressive fashion. As of 2:12, Jill was only dilated to a 5 and by 2:28 she was holding a baby. The doctor barely made it in as Olivia was crowning. We thought for a minute the nurse would be delivering her, but the doctor made it, had just enough time to put on gloves and catch Olivia on her way out. It was intense and impressive to see. Everyone is doing well, and we'll post more when we're all settled in at home.

Now you and Dave are outnumbered...you went from one on one defense to zone defense (maybe Dave can appreciate the sports analogy?!?!)
Get some REST!

You are right-She is a perfect mix of Luke and Ella. You described her perfectly, Wirthlin cheeks and all. I can't believe she still has those weighing in at only 6lbs 15oz! I love it. She is beautiful! I love her already. I am so glad everything went so smoothly. Are you so excited that that sweet girl is in your arms and not in your belly?! Hooray.

What a treat to see Olivia on video conference. I really think from what I can tell she is a cross between Ella and Luke. It will be so fun to see her develop. Ready or not here we come. We love you all.
