welcome to the world Ollie!
March 4, 2008 | Grateful Tuesday, Baby Making
Well, how’s this for technology failing at critical times? It’s 9:00pm and I JUST got Stacy’s messages sent via contraband/BlackBerry.
Also, I was so anxious and worried for the delivery of Baby Ollie that I vacuumed my whole apartment AND mopped my kitchen floor. For those of you that know me–and those of you that can imagine…that’s some serious anxiety. Blasted technology making me CLEAN.
11:19 AM: Ouch ouch ouch don’t let me get pregnant again. Contractions suck ass.
1:00 PM: Epidural. The itching is driving me nuts. Doc broke my water at 12:25 and Mr Squirrel had me laughing so hard on the way to the bathroom that I was gushing water in spurts. Lovely.
4:02 PM: 7cm dilated
4:15 PM: 10cm getting ready to push! [[editorial note: holy f*ck… you blew open to 10 cms in 13 minutes? Dude, your cervix is my hero!]]
5:06 PM: Baby Ollie born at 4:45 pm — 8 lbs, 7 oz and 20-1/2 inches long. 15 minutes of pushing. MUCH easier than with Jojo.
Mother and baby are resting comfortably and Ollie is reportedly nursing well and sleeping on his Mommy’s chest.
Congratulations to the entire Squirrel family…from your ginormous Interweb family.

Hooray for The Squirrels! And shit. I almost said 8 lbs, 7 oz but went with 8 lbs, 6 oz instead. Shouldn’t have second guessed myself. Just like the GD SAT.
Pictures soon, I hope?! Get some rest!

I think they need to weigh Cletiver again, though. By my calculations they’re off by 5oz.
March 4th, 2008 at 10:49 pm, sallyacious Says:
No. 11oz. I’ve been teaching/grading/sprinting across campus for the last 11 hours. I cannot add.

Congratulations to the family and welcome Ollie! I love the name, it was not expected but it’s so cute, I love it!
I must say my night (with the 6-hour difference) was not smooth since I got up almost every hour to come check on the blog! And of course, that’s when I start sleeping for good that the birth happens!!!! I’m so happy for you, I can’t wait to see the pictures. Much love from abroad.
