What an incredibly overwhelming, amazing, tiring, whirlwind week it has been for us. The labor was relatively short and painless thanks to an amazing little drug called epidural. Nothing better than enjoying the birth of your child pain free! I apologize now for not having spoken to many of you as I am honestly feeling very overwhelmed and tired right now. I am nursing and never realized what a commitment it really is. I am feeding constantly and trying to stay awake when I am not. We appreciate all the well wishes and gifts and love and prayers throughout this first week! It has been humbling to know how loved Olivia and our little family is. I only ask one request of all of you. As much as I would love to talk and email and chat with everyone, I am really trying to focus on nursing and sleeping and enjoying Olivia's first few days with us. If you could just be patient with me, I will start calling everyone and emailing again when I get the hang of being a mother.
In the mean time, family is in town to help us for the next few weeks so we can really enjoy our little girl. Justin and I feel so blessed and are in more in love than ever now that we have created the perfect addition to our family.

As anyone with children knows, baby comes first. As for getting the hang of being a mom, I'm still working on that one! As soon as you think you've got it, they grow or evolve and the poor parents scurry to try to keep up. The blog is great; we don't expect postings daily, but appreciate your efforts to stay in touch with all of us. Enjoy your new family---the rest of us can wait. Love, Linda Cap
When you get the hang of being a mother, let me know how you did it. 7.5 years later and I still feel like I am clueless most of the time.
Just remember that anything worth doing takes time and effort and you get an A+ in both.
I love you, sissy.:)
