Olivia Sue Collins Has Arrived!!

Miss Olivia had different plans than we and the doctor did on what day should be her birthday. She wanted to be a January Baby. Olivia was born January 29, 2010 at 11:46 am. She weighed 6 pounds and 5 ounces and 19.5 inches long. She is an absolute doll and we have fallen madly in love with her from the first second we saw her.

My water broke at about 2:30 am. We arrived at the hospital around 4 am to begin the greatest adventure of our life after being pulled over by the police for going 15 over the speed limit. Thank goodness he believed that we were on our way to the hospital and didn't give us a ticket. Things moved quickly once we got to the hospital. In about two hours I went from 2 cm to 5 cm. Around 7am I got my epidural, while being in the middle of receiving it Hays started feeling a little queasy and passed out right then and there. Boy, I thought, this is going to be a loonnnggg day. Things progressed quickly after that, Hays started feeling better, my mom arrived FINALLY and we started pushing around 11:00.

We will never forget January 29, 2010 as being one of the best days of our lives. Olivia is such a blessing and great gift from our Lord. We rejoice in His blessings and ask for His protection and guidance over this precious gift He has given to me and Hays.
