"It is not a slight thing when those
so fresh from God love us."
-Charles Dickens-
Yesterday at 7:28 PM, the Dahlquist family grandkids count went from 10 to 11....5 boys, 6 girls....with the birth of my newest little niece, Olivia Sue Edwards, weighing 7 lbs. 11 oz. and measuring 20 inches long.
We were all waiting outside the door of my sister Julie's room when little Olivia was born. Dad kept little Charly (my little sister Kristin's little girl...SUCH a cutie!!) entertained by reading her book after book after book (love watching my dad read to the grandkids just like he read to me and my little sister until I was 16) and letting her tickle his forehead. LOL!
Before we were able to go in and see little Olivia, we were able to chat for a second with our fantastic OB, Dr. Greg Tanner, who has delivered all but MAYBE just 1 or 2 Dahlquist grandbabies and our good family friend Bobbi Jo Wetzel, who has been the NURSE for the majority of the Dahlquist grandbaby births as well. So great for all of us Dahlquist girls to have such a great doctor and nurse who are such good friends of ours, helping with all of our births!! Such a wonderful blessing!!
And as it should be, the grandmas were the first to be able to see their new little grandbaby girl. Love these pic of the grandmas first glimpse of Baby Olivia and the second one where Olivia is look right at Grandma Zella...SO PRECIOUS!
Olivia is so beautiful...absolutely perfect. Can't wait to be able to snuggle her!!! So fun to have another new little baby in the fam. It's been a while. And in the next few weeks, we will be having ANOTHER one, when my little sister Kristin has HER baby...YAY..two new babies in ONE month! Happy daaaaay! Love this picture of Dad showing little Charly the new baby. It was a good warm up for when her new little brother or sister arrives in a few weeks (Kristin and Jordan don't know the gender of their baby...and yes, it's driving me NUTS not knowing!! LOL!).
So happy to have another little one in the family and such a wonderful blessing that both she and her Mama are doing so well. CONGRATULATIONS PULSE & BOO...and Welcome, welcome to beautiful little Olivia!!! WE LOVE YOU!
I started to cry when I saw this...I'm guessing cuz I miss Kristin and little Charly so much! Thanks for posting such beautiful pictures!!
