Welcome Baby Will

Everyone, I'd like to introduce you to William Britton Olson! He was a little anxious to come into the world so we got him two weeks early. He was 7 lbs and 4.5 oz, and 20 inches long. He has brown hair, and we'll have to see what color his eyes decide to be. One of my favorite features is the little tufts of hair on his ears!
I was originally going to work until the 28th, but decided to give myself a little more time to prepare the house and my doctor gave me a note for the 21st instead. My last day of work was great! I celebrated my soon to come baby by going out to brunch with my team, and then later in the day we had a baby shower. I was looking forward to sleeping in the next day and getting into the full-mode nesting instinct. However, I found myself at 5:30 AM telling Britton that my water broke and our little guy would be likely to come sometime in the next 24 hours!
All our birthing classes and videos had us expecting to go too the hospital, get sent home, wait around for hours, etc. So we leisurely packed a bag just in case, ate breakfast, played a quick game of Risk (j/k), and headed to the hospital. After being hooked up to an IV, and all other kinds of monitors, Will was born only six hours later! Britton cried and giggled like a school girl, and I think I might have been yelling or something like that...it's kind of a blur.
He is really a joy and getting chunkier by the day. It's fun to see him experience all kinds of firsts. Like his first bath, his first time wetting the bed(diapers are too big), and his first trip to Target. He's growing, and the pediatrician says that he's actually gained weight since leaving the hospital! I can't wait for his first double chin. Well, hopefully it will be his first and last double chin. Thanks to everyone for the fun baby gifts, and your support. Luckily my mom could fly out here and get to the hospital right after the birth, and has helping me do all the nesting I didn't get done earlier. To repay her kindness Will stayed up crying from the hours of 1-5AM last night. We still love him!


On top of being 2 whole weeks early, Will decided to come on uncle Alex's birthday.
