Our GIRL is here!

Olivia Kate Larson arrived yesterday at 2:51 PM after 5 short hours of labor. She is 6lbs 12oz, and 19in. We are so in love! She has had breathing problems (she stopped last night! SO SCARY), and is in the NICU now on oxygen, and is having some more testing done. She has already had a lot in short life. She is strong though, and we are trying to be. Please keep her in your prayers, she will probably be spending the next week or so in the NICU, but we are praying to take her home before that.

Oh she is so beautiful! I'm so happy for you that she is finally here. The first few days are always scary, I'm sure she'll be able to come home soon though. Can't wait to see you both.

She's is adorable!! Congrats on your new little one.
I know from personal experience how emotionally draining it can be having a wee one in the NICU. I felt so weird going home without my baby--- after a few days it started to take a toll. I say this as a caution that it is completely normal, but the NICU units in this state are amazing!! In a few months, you won't even know she was a preemie!!
Will you e-mail me when you get a chance so I can invite you to our blog... I am going to be switching it to private today or tomorrow.
Thanks and CONGRATS!!
