Olin at the cabin part 2.

Big sister Addison is warming Olin by the fire.

Great-grandma Dorothy rocking Olin to sleep.

Big sister Amelia giving her baby brother some love.


Olin thinking, "man, what do you do with all that hair??"




Olin at the cabin

We had a wonderful time at the cabin. Momma and baby had some time to lounge around and watch the moon rise.
Little Georgia Gulden came by to meet baby Olin. We all partied a bit. You can see Nate "double fisting" in this picture.
We did some hiking.


We did some napping.


Who left the baby in the sink?!?!?
Just kidding, this is Olin after his first sponge bath out of the hospital.

one day old baby




Olin is Here!!!






Baby boy Olin John Selstad was born at 2:59 pm on Oct 7th.......15 days late. He is adjusting to life outside of the womb very well. He has met alot of his family already and some friends. Nate and I feel very blessed to have such a healthy, handsome baby boy. We are really enjoying being parents.

41 Weeks + 4 days



I'm still waiting for Baby Olin to show his face to the world. We had an appointment today. If any of you don't want to think or hear about my cervix, stop reading now.



My cervix is almost completely thinned out and the baby is about as low as he'll get before I go into active labor. My midwife was able to strip my membranes and stretch my cervix to 2 cm. So I have some hope that I might go into to labor. If not, an induction is scheduled for Monday evening.


So we have continued with the walks. As you can see in the progressions of the pictures that the leaves are changing fast. Hopefully we'll see Olin before we see snow: )
