The Wonderful, Harrowing, Joyful, Upsetting, Amazingly Special Story of Oliver's Birth

[oberongeiger]

Our baby, little Oliver, was born at 8:19 p.m. on November 2nd. His birth weight was 6 pounds, 14 ounces. He's a miracle, and we love him. We both cried when when we finally held him. Which we did for like, 3 or 4 minutes, before he was wheeled off to the nursery...

He's gorgeous, Doug. You and Maria should be so proud (which I'm sure you are).

[oberongeiger]

We are. We're tired, but very proud. Thanks!

Hugs to all, and just so you know, I kind of died of "awwwwww...." looking at these photos.

I feel the same way every time I look at them. :) I'm luckier than I deserve to be.

What a story! And what an amazing result. Congratulations on your healthy, beautiful family.

Thank you! We feel incredibly lucky, especially seeing other friends who have been struggling to get pregnant or having other family issues. It's not fair, and we're appropriately grateful.
