Hi friends,
We went to the hospital yesterday at 4:45a.m. and at 8:10p.m. Laura gave birth to our son Oliver Knox Thies. Oliver weighs 8lbs 9 oz and he's nearly 22 inches long. Both Mom and baby are doing very well. It's a little overwhelming for me at the moment. I sit and stare at Oliver and can only think what a miracle he is and what a blessing God gives us. I'm also thankful for Laura who never complained of anything throughout this entire process and remains strong and focused on being a great Mommy.
If you'd like to see Oliver you are welcome to stop by our home and we'll be home Saturday afternoon. Some of you have asked what you can bring and I'm always hungry so food is welcome.
Finally, we're thankful for all of you and look forward to having Oliver meet you.
Chad and Laura

In a world that's all brand-new,
Babies have so much to do!
Laughing, making funny faces,
Finding out those ticklish places...
Cuddling up and wiggling toes,
Looking cute in tiny clothes...
Tasting, touching, reaching high,
Crawling under, scooting by...
Learning words and having fun-
Making memories one by one.
Congratulations! And almost 16 hours later... God bless both of you with some sleep and rest these next two days!
