Solveig Marie Johnson was born on February 25, 2015 at 6:08 AM at United Hospital in Saint Paul. She came into the world pretty quickly; after an 8 hour labor the doctors had to ask mom to wait to push so they would have time to get ready! A rosy red baby, she weighed 9 lb 12 oz and was 21 3/4 inches long. Doctors Michelle Vanselow and Katie Johnson were present, but Dad was able to catch her on the way out (although due to her girth, she had to be pulled rather firmly). She captured our hearts immediately with her squishy face and round belly.
Our first visitors at the hospital were big brother Soren, Nanna and Poppa Johnson, and the Duluth Johnsons. Then, Uncle Zach and Aunt Courtney came. We also had a lot of hospital friends stop by-at one point, we had 5 doctors in the room! The nurses were a little alarmed until we reminded them it was just a social visit.
We brought one pink outfit to the hospital and were pretty excited to put it on her! The nurses also gave us this cute pink hat.
