I’m happy to report that baby Oliver is here! Our sweet little boy arrived on 1/11/16, weighing 7lbs 12oz and measuring 20 inches long. Oliver and I are doing well and we were able to finally come home. We are so happy! He is the sweetest little miracle and we feel incredibly blessed.
I will say my birth experience was nothing like I expected or quite honestly, had hoped for. It ended up being an emergency C-section, all very sudden, scary and frenzied. I can honestly say I have never been so scared in my life. When I finally heard my baby cry it was the most beautiful sound I have ever heard and I have never felt more grateful. What really matters is that we are both healthy and happy and home. Thank you God!
I’d like to take a minute to thank Kerry, Karen, Kelley, Richard and Harriett for all of their help this past week. I can’t thank them enough for keeping the deals coming and the blogs running – business as usual. And thank goodness hospitals now have wi-fi. Although I think the nurses may have all thought I was a little nuts – “You can do my vitals while I type right? Special K bars are 31¢!”.
Finally, I’d like to thank all of you for being a part of the Wild for Wags and Wild for CVS family and ask you to join me in welcoming our newest and youngest member – Oliver James. 🙂

Oh, Christie, I’m SO happy for all of you! AND I appreciate your shout-out of thanks to the worker-bees who kept the websites humming. Otherwise I would have assumed that you managed to keep things updated while in labor and right ofter delivering, and that kind of super-woman ability might make other woman feel downright incompetent! Nevertheless, thanks to ALL who keep us coupon queens and kings informed and ready to save. God bless you and Oliver with riches beyond wealth!
