Olivia James Faulkner

Momma bear the day before.


The lovely May weather in Logan


This was just before all hell broke loose. She was a champ and made it to 6+ cm and then had some back labor and tapped out. She got an amazing epidural that let her still feel contractions and push, but not be in a death spiral of pain.


She came out and just chilled. She has been really mellow.


Momma was real excited.




She fussed and moaned when the nurses were poking around and probing, other than that she has been mellow.


I am digging this little baby thing.


I got to give her the first bath. It was really neat. Babies are reesty, until the are lathered rinsed and repeated.


Again with the nurses poking around.


Big ol purple paws.


She was trying to suck her finger clean off of her hand. To her dismay, it didn't work.


Ollie dropped about a month and a half ago and was posterior, so her head was all bruised up and nose got smooshed up. Doctors say it'll pop out and it already is. She looks like a retired heavy weight boxer. Too cute.


Me and Ollie trying to sleep. Emphasis on trying. Baby rocks at sleeping. I am not so good.
