Life with two....

Well, we are hanging in there. Life with two is fun and busy. We still have no routine - I know he's only a couple of weeks old but being Little Miss Schedule, it drives me a little crazy. Poor guy deserves a break. Sydney is such a good big sister. She loves to help out. Everytime we leave the house she goes through a checklist of things that I should bring - "Diapers mommy, wipes, glasses (sunglasses), keys, purse". She's quite thorough.
We had our first babysitters last night. Two ladies from church were kind enough to come over and watch Sydney and TJ so that Tom and I could go out for our anniversary. Everything went great - thank GOD! Bless their hearts - I certainly wouldn't want to babysit a newborn.
Thank you everyone for all of the kind notes and phone calls. We love you all!

Meet Thomas Lloyd Olson Junior!

It's a boy! Little Thomas was born on May 1 at 6:58 pm. He weighed 7lbs 3 oz and was 19 1/4 in. long. The labor wasn't too long or bad and we only had a little problem with the epidural, other than that Thomas popped right out - literally. Less than 24 hours after the little guy was born we were on our way home. We couldn't wait to see Sydney and introduce her to her new brother. She had a little bit of a rough time at first but is already doing great with the new addition. She is a great big sister and offers him her sippy all of the time and tries to share her food. We can't wait to watch them interact more and more.
So far, he has adjusted so well to life in this big world. He sleeps a lot and thankfully that includes the nightime. He only wakes up once or twice to eat. We are praying he keeps that up. I'm sure we'll be writing lots more later but we wanted to update everybody on our new perfect little addition.
