Drex is settling into his new home

Drex has been spending this past week getting to know his mommy and daddy (and Grandma Amy and Grandpa Randy who are here for 2 weeks helping out). He's a great eater, a good sleeper and a fantastic pooper. Drex is also a first class cuddler. He's had lots of visitors and has met lots of members of his new family (Grandma Rita, Grandpa Bill, Grandma Deb, Great Grandma Norma, Uncle Billy, Aunt Rachel, Aunt Angie, Uncle Barry, Cousin Abram, Aunt Amy, Uncle Chris, Cousin Aubrey, Cousin Maddy, Cousin Mackenzie, Aunt Janice and Uncle Kent) and everyone thinks he's extremely handsome ... (he is).

I love showing him off!

Even Wagner is in love with him. He's really protective. It's sweet -- And a relief, since we weren't sure how he would feel about his demotion in the dog pack.

Drexel is here!

Drexel Truman Olson
Born: July 7, 2008
Weight: 8 lbs 12 oz
Length: 21 inches

Well that contest wasn't very suspenseful!

Just a quick update to let everyone know that 1 day after I posted the guessing blog I went into labor and 2 days later Drexel Truman was born! So, sorry to everyone who hadn't checked their emails yet :) Looks like Aunt Lori got closest to the date (hmmm, insider info?) before the actual delivery (sorry Rachel). And grandma Amy was almost exactly right on weight/length (he was 8 lbs 12 oz and 21 inches).

We was born on July 7th (7-07) at 7:07 (says Daddy) or 7:09 (says the hospital). He's the 7th grandchild to grandpa Bill and the 7th great grandchild to grandma Norma. And we were discharged from the hospital yesterday at 7. He's bound to clean up in Vegas once he turns 21 -- lucky number 7!

Photos to come...

When Will Baby Olson Arrive?

Baby Olson is officially due July 17. When do you think he'll make his appearance? Give it your best guess. Day and time -- oh, and throw in how much you think he'll weigh! What do you win? Hmmm... the glory, plus maybe we'll tell him you're his favorite.
