from the horse's mouth
hello world.
i am writing to say i am not ready to re-enter functioning society yet. please don't take it personally. i haven't called anyone yet...good thing my mom is here! i just checked my email for the first time and was completely overwhelmed...so after this post i plan to go back in to hiding...evidently i have the right to do that and i plan to take advantage of it!
tim has passed along all your well wishes, they mean the world to olyvia and i as we try to readjust to life. right now our goals are eating and sleeping...both of us! i just had some chicken downstairs and it was like going on a field trip...most of our time is in our bedroom, olyvia's bedroom, or the bathroom!
although we had a bumpy start, we seem to be recovering physically, emotionally, psychologically, spiritually. we are really focused on getting to know each other right now.
as for what she's like, we learn more each day. she has this adorable crinkly face for when life is just too much and she sticks out her "pouty lip". daddy in particular melts at this one. her skin is too big for her, it's pretty baggy. she has little frog legs that never straighten out. her feet are a little bit bigger than the rest of her, they are long! her hair is ridiculous, but she has hat head most of the time right now. her daddy brushes it alot, he is her stylist! he picks her outfits and accessories (meaning the socks we put on her hands, even her baby scratch mits are too big!).
yesterday the midwife came by to check us out, that's normal here. we are both on track. olyvia weighed 7lbs 2oz. this is great because babies tend to lose a few ounces after they are born while learning to feed and sleeping more than they eat. the midwife says it usually takes up to 10 days for babies to regain weight up to their birth weight. olyvia and i have done it in 5! yea us! that is the best news i have had since knowing she was born safely and healthy.
okay, olyvia is hungry, so nothing else matters right now!
thanks again for all your support,
jamie and olyvia miller

What a beauty! I'm so happy for you guys. I love seeing her pictures. I can't wait to see her in person. You take care of yourself and get a "guest blogger" if you have to, and enjoy that baby while she's under your roof and all. Lots of hair! Crazy!! Take care-love and prayers! Cari
