Oliver Michael was born on November 1, 2013. I am a big brother times two and Hady gets to be a big sister finally. Oliver gave mommy and daddy a scare and was rushed into the special care nursery soon after he was born. Grandpa said it is because he was called baby boy Laughlin but mommy and daddy needed time to agree on a name. Oliver seemed perfect. Oliver is the perfect little brother and addition to our little family.
Dr. Franklin and all the nurses took extra special care of my little brother. He asperated some amniotic fluid and had to be intubated for his first day of life. Grown ups got to visit him in the nursery and meet him even though he cannot remember it.
We might have snuck into the nursery with daddy to get a glimpse of our little brother. He looked perfect even with his tubes. He certainly was toasty warm on his warmer.
Oliver improved steadily and after almost a week in the special care nursery with supplementary oxygen, Oliver got to have his first outing to mommy's room. Don't worry the nurses were close by and monitoring everything with his red light.
Nana visited at the right time and got to hold little Oliver before daddy said keep the germs away, Oliver needs time to heal.
But daddy did let us meet our brother. Here I am a proud big brother to my first little brother. I will teach him all kinds of cool things.
He looks perfect, even with this line attached to him still.
Yep, I say we keep him.
Hady is the perfect little mommy to her baby brother.
She is so gentle even though she likes to smother him with kisses...mommy and daddy are still trying to get her to keep her space 'a little.'
Pure joy after a very long week with Oliver and mommy in the hospital.
Love him to pieces.
All ready to go home on his one week birthday.
