Welcome Kelvin Ollyver!

On August 4, we welcomed Kelvin Ollyver into our lives. I had been having contractions on and off throughout the day and in the evening I decided that it was time to head to the hospital. We got to the hospital at 6pm and little Kelvin arrived at 10:05 pm in a wonderful waterbirth. He weighed 8 pounds 7.2 ounces (almost identical to Preston, who was 8 pounds 7.7 ounces) and he was 20 inches long.

We arrived home the next day at around 3pm and we have been doing well ever since. Preston seems to love his little brother and he wants to know where he is and what he is doing. If Kelvin cries, Preston will run in and tell him that it is okay. He has wanted to read his big brother book Preston is mostly happy to have my mom, his "Grammie," here to play with him.

Preston was so excited to wear his big brother shirt to the hospital and Kelvin wore his little brother shirt (Preston told my mom that he had to wear it).
