Oliver Rae Sill

Oliver Rae Sill arrived into the world at Kelowna B.C. on June 23rd at 1:05 p.m. weighing 8lbs 3oz.

Brenda and I were on call waiting for a baby to arrive. The due date was actually June 29th, although all the indicators were that this baby was going to arrive early.

We had our bags packed and were ready to go at a moments notice. It was kinda funny because on Saturday morning we had gone for a walk and then decided to come back home and put another coat of paint in the basement suite kitchen. We jokingly said that we would probably just open he paint can and get started and Jeff and Lindsay would call and sure enough that’s what happened.

Once Jeff called we hopped in the car and headed for Kelowna so they could head to the hospital and we would look after Zachary.

At first Lindsay thought it was a false alarm, but after a half hour she knew it wasn’t and the baby was on the way. The contractions were coming faster so Jeff called their friends who lived near by to come over until we arrived. It was good thing they did as Oliver arrived at 1:05 p.m. and we did not get to Jeff and Lindsay’s house until 1:30 p.m.

A little later in the day Jeff came home for a visit and Brenda and I went to the hospital for a very short visit.

When we held Oliver he was only 4 hrs old and we both remarked that the last time either of us held a baby this new was when we held Jeffrey as a newborn.

Jeff, Lindsay and Oliver finally arrived home on Sunday afternoon and Zachary is adapting very well.

We are truly blessed. We now have 4 wonderful grandchildren?

Welcome to the family Oliver.
