The newest Olivetti made the switch from the life inside to life on land Sunday morning (like all good preacher's kids). Elias Martyr Olivetti (hereafter known as #3 in this blog) was born at 6:13, weighing in at 8 lbs, 4 oz, and 21 inches long. My beautiful wife, who ought to have her own comic book, is doing very well and we've decided to keep him. #1 and #2 find him pretty kissable and are all-too ready to give him jelly beans as a sign of their undying love.
I'll post some pictures soon.
God is very good! Infants are proof, I tell you. I do love the way their breath smells. And how well they sleep for a few days, just to give you that faint hope that they won't wake up screaming in the night later on. But they will. And it'll be okay.
p.s. - Elias is the Greek form of Elijah and Martyr means (or meant) "witness"...plus, there's a couple heroes of church history to share his second name.
My heart became hot within me. As I mused, the fire burned; then I spoke with my tongue: "O Lord, make me know my end and what is the measure of my days; let me know how fleeting I am!"

Congrats, Olivettis! We're happy for you and your expanding family! Hope Lisa recovers quickly and all of you adapt to three in an expedient fashion!
Yeah, about those pictures....PLEASE???? Soon?? :-)
(congrats and Praise to God, again)
Congratulations!
Lisa deserves her own comic book? You know, I have some experience drawing comic books. I'll bet she'd enjoy a nice hot tub right now too...
Congratulations and I hope you guys are doing well!
Congrats!!! I've been thinking about Lisa, and wondering when #3 would make his appearance. Praying that she recovers quickly!
