Last night at 9:24 p.m. Oliver was born. He weighs 6 pounds 15 ounces, 19 inches long, and is healthy and responsive.
Malinda was amazing during labor. The nurses were all surprised that it was her first baby because of how relaxed and in control she was. Malinda took no medications or pain killers and had a wonderful natural birth. Oliver was born two hours after arriving at the hospital.
Oliver is nursing great and loves cuddling with everyone he has met so far.
Grandma and Grandpa Ellis were waiting patiently in the lobby and met Oliver soon after the birth. Oliver said he really liked meeting them.
Oliver got to speak to Grandma Beth and Grandpa Gil on the phone. He made cute noises for them and reminded them that he is the only Miller grandchild and expects to be spoiled rotten asap (he knows what he wants!).
Malinda had a huge smile on her face after the birth..... it didn't go away until she fell asleep.
And..the lucky winner of the "guess the date and weight" was... Tracy who made the following prediction-

Oliver is coming soon: I predict Friday, December 7 and he will be 8 pounds and 4 ounces.
