Announcing Oliver Thad Hoskins!

as for the details...
he was born this morning at 5 AM (German time)
51 cm (20.7 inches)
2.97 kg (6 lbs 9 oz)

Jana did a great job... she basically went into labor Wednesday afternoon, and "finished" at 5 AM this morning (Friday).

Please continue to pray for Jana and Oliver! I will join them back at the hospital in a few minutes.

Yippeeeeee!!!!! Welcome to the family Oliver. We are so happy you are here. So many people have been praying for you and will continue to pray for you. You have been blessed with some incredible parents. Can't wait to actually meet you in person and not through your mommy's tommy. Give your parents a wonderful greeting from us. And get some sleep now! Love you all,
Anna

Jana, I am so proud of you both. Ya'll are going to be the best of parents. Take advantage of as much rest you can get at the hospital. Your mom and my dad are so EXCITED. We all wish we could be on the way there now!! You know if grandma was still here, she would be in the middle of ocean having swam to get to you. Know she is watching over you and giving Oliver many hugs and kisses. Get some pictures posted!!!! Love and miss you.

We love you so much, and realize at times like this how much we have missed you. Hugs to everyone, especially little Oliver. Jana we are so proud of you and how you just did what had to be done, and Thad did NOT report any grumbling, so we assume you are the perfect Mom, just like you have been the perfect wife for Thad. We can hardly wait until Dec. 20! Until then, know how much we love you and wish we could be there with you. --Granddad and Z.

Congrats, Jana! We both made it! And it sounds like we both had deliveries that lasted WAY longer than expected!

Thad: congrats to you, too, of course! I'm sure you were a great support to Jana through out the whole ordeal.

I can't wait to see pics of your little guy! Get lots of rest and enjoy those sweet first moments with that baby!

Congrats to both of you. You've got a cute one there along with some great parents. Can we go ahead and get the gig'em Aggie sign going so we know where his allegiance is? :-) I pray for continued health and rest for all. I'm so excited for you guys.
