Back to the Hospital
I had to take Heather back to the hospital today. Apparently, there may have been a hole leaking spinal fluid from the epidural. Poor Heather had been suffering from a terrible looking headache (and that's a statement from someone who gets migraines) since Friday. They took some blood from her arm and injected it into the epidural space to try to fashion a patch. She seems to be feeling a little better, so hopefully that helped.
Some of Olivia's Gifts
I wanted to post a sampling of some of the gifts Olivia and Abby have received over the past couple of days. I apologize, I know I'm missing some, but I'm catching the ones I have pictures of.
Flowers from Aunt Michele and Uncle Mike:
Markers from Aunt Sheri and Uncle Brian (Abby absolutely LOVES them):
A yummy fruit arrangement (the whole family LOVED) from Aunt Cindy and Uncle Tom:
Many, many thanks for all the thoughtful gifts.

Welcome Olivia Jane Rhoads

From Olivia Jane Rhoads |
Olivia Jane Rhoads was born today at 2:34pm. She weighed in at a healthy 8 lbs 5 oz and is 21.5" long (incidentally the same length as her sister.) Heather went into labor at 1:00am and we were at the hospital by 3:00am. It took forever for Heather to get fully dilated, but once she got there, she only had to push through 4 contractions to get Olivia out. The doctor almost dropped her, but thankfully they set up a "net" of sorts to catch dropped babies. (Apparently that happens from time to time.) Heather looks a lot better than she did after giving birth to Abby. I can't wait to get Abby up here tomorrow to meet her baby sister.
Our friend Danielle was kind enough to take a day off of work to take pictures for us, so I hope to have some more pictures up over the weekend.
