Christy asked me to update you all on her progress. Christy is still recovering (now at home). She needs to be away from the computer for a little while, she can not really focus on a computer screen at this time. She lost a significant amount of blood after the birth but over time and with the assistance of iron rich foods will recover soon. Olive is doing great. She has been gaining weight, sleeping, pooping and nursing well. I will get some additional photo's on soon. Thank you all and I know Christy is composing Olive's story in her head and will share with you all soon. Thanks for being such loyal readers.

Christy should not worry about us one teensy bit! Rest up and take care of those kids. When she's good and ready we'll be here but we sure can wait. Hope things continue to go well. :)

Nick, please make sure someone is taking care of YOU, too? You are every bit as important to all of us as are Christy, Elias and Olive.

Sending prayres and good wishes from DE. :)

Congratulations! and Welcome, Olive!

Oh, thank you so much for the update - I was getting so worried about Christy! So glad to hear that you are all home and that Christy is resting. Lots and lots of love to all of you from the East Coast. Please give Christy a big kiss for me...I will shop around for some iron-rich dark chocolate! xoxo, Anno

Christy, with the holidays, major surgery, a newborn in your house,an impending move, crazy hormones, you get a "pass" from posting for as long as you want.

You did good, girl!

You are in our thoughts, Christy! Take all the time you need...we will be waiting patiently for your return.

[massageon]

Best wishes... indeed, take all the time you need, of course! Sending healing and strengthening thoughts your way... and enjoy!

[Noel Dennehy]

Thanks Nick for the update and I am glad that you have extra hands there so Christy can get some much needed rest. I know Elias must be thrilled to have you all home.
Merry Christmas and take care-

[Sara]

Congratulations Christy, Nick, Elias and baby Olive. What a wonderful Christmas gift. Best wishes and happy holidays.

[JenniferB]

Thank you for letting us know everyone is doing better -- I'll continue to pray for complete and healthy recovery!

[heather]

Family and health comes first :) we'll still be here when she's rested and ready! Merry Christmas and enjoy your family

[Sara]

Thanks for the update Nick, and really, Christy worrying about posting one of her epic and lovely stories should be at the bottom of her list! I hope that Elias is doing well too - and all of you really as you weather a new baby, health recovery for Christy, the holidays, moving, etc. You have a LOT on your collective plates.

Merry Merry to all of you - I am in utter bliss-land just thinking of the lovely arrival of Baby Olive.

[Mary Elizabeth]

Thanks for the update Nick, send Christy the message that we are all content to wait and to focus on resting and getting better!

[Courtney]

I would like to add one minor suggestion : DONUTS. I moved my entire houshold (well...hubby did it but it sure was stressful for all of us!) The days bfore during and after the birth of my Holly. Our lease was up on the 31st and she was born the 29th. Donuts were a big fortifier of my spirit during this time. ;) May I humbly suggest the powdered sugar lemon filled?

[Beth]

Nick, thanks for the update. Christy, please rest and feel better soon. Sending lots of good, healing thoughts your way! Take care, and Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family!

[alison]

You're the best Nick! I'm sending iron-rich energy Christy's way.

Thanks for the update to let us know that you are all doing well. Take this time to enjoy each other. The rest of us can wait for new posts and pictures.

Thanks for the update, and I'm glad to read that is everyone is at home and doing well.

[paige]

Prayers, good thoughts and healing vibes coming your way!

Glad for the updates...tell Christy to TAKE HER TIME recovering...make sure you're taking care of yourself, too, Nick!

[Carolyn]

Thanks so much for the update, Nick - I send many healing thoughts your way, filled with iron. She needs all the energy she currently has for feeding little Olive and sharing with Elias. She can write when she is stonger. Also, with a move in your near future, don't hesitate to let me know if you need extra hands for packing and moving. I am able and available until Jan 4th. Love and hugs to all and enjoy your first Christmas together as a family of 4.

[Kristin]

I'm glad Christy is able to be home, and I'm glad Olive is doing so well. Our prayers are with you all.

[nurse tara]

Thanks Nick for keeping us updated, I like many check often, usually when i should be working on other things but that is besides the point, I hope your beautiful family of 4 have a wonderful and peaceful Christmas.

[shelley]

Merry Christmas to you all! There is now one more blessing to count!

[Jessica]

Glad she is home and recovering. I hope she is well soon. Sounds a little scary. Glad Olive is doing well. She is just beautiful!
