Happy 2nd birthday Osten John Olson!

Two years ago, Osten was scheduled to be born.  Brad and I were to leave for the Hudson Hospital from our home at 5:30am.  Check in to be prepped for a c-section with surgery scheduled at 7am. 

Osten decided to let me know he was ready to come at about 9:30pm.  I went to bed and awoke at about 1:30am and took a shower.  I then woke Brad to let him know we should write Mom & Dad Blomgren a note and head to the hospital as we needed to check in early. 

We arrived at the hospital and were checked into our room.  The nurse called Dr. Young and asked if we wanted to try to have Osten naturally and we said "no"--we wanted the surgical team to come in early.  At about 4:30am, I was ready to go and at 5:17am 8 pound 1 ounce Osten was born.

We didn't know if he would be an Osten John, a Norah Vivian or an Emma Elizabeth, but we were thrilled when this sweet little boy was born.

Thank you Osten for being such a light and joy in our lives.  We love you.

Anders was under the weather, but so excited to meet his baby brother--Kathryn was a little mother, so sweet
