Our New Addition


Announcing...
Ollie Kent Madsen
He joined our family on thursday morning, after a lengthy 18 minutes in surgery. And we are so happy he is here! His stats:
6 lbs 8 oz.
19 in.
We would have posted earlier, but I couldn't log on to our account from the hospital for some reason...
We are both doing well. We are home and he is doing great. He is on the small side, so he has a little trouble keeping his body temperature up, so we watch him carefully and try to get him to eat as much as possible! He has lots of dark hair and seems to already have dark eyes. Maybe we broke the mold!
The C-section thing went a lot better for us than the last 2 deliveries. I feel much better this time around, although I am still very sore and it will be a while before I am up for much. He eats wonderfully and is absolutely ADORED by his brothers. Tyse loves to help out and hold him as much as possible. Emitt smothers him with love every time he is in reach, so Ollie is well loved. We are so blessed to have him in our family! I will share more tomorrow... tonight it is time to attempt to sleep!

Yea! I am so happy for you! Can I just say that the picture of the boys looking at him is priceless.

It was so good to talk to you yesterday and I'm glad that everything went well this time. We want to come see you once you've settled back into the groove of things and are feeling up for visitors.

Congrats on such a cute baby! :)
