[name]Oliver[/name] [name]Augustine[/name] [name]Felix[/name] was born on [name]Sunday[/name] … weighing 8lbs, 4oz!

He certainly surprised us! [name]Sunday[/name] morning my contractions were 10-15min apart, and only lasted for 30 seconds, so I figured that we still had plenty of time. Then all of a sudden they went to 3min apart - and we live 45min from the hospital! Things really started to feel intense once we dropped our two-year old son off with the friends who were going to watch him. But I felt the same as I had when there were still 5 hours to go at my son’s birth - and our friends only live 10min from the hospital, so I figured that we had plenty of time to get there!
But just a little ways down the road, I started to feel his head crowning! I kept telling him, “wait baby, wait - we’re almost there. [name]Just[/name] wait a few minutes!” Then all of a sudden, I could feel his head being born! My husband had just enough time to pull over into a gas station, put on the emergency brake, and reach over to catch him! We were just a few miles from the hospital, so we just drove to the birth unit … the nurses were so surprised!
We’re doing really well now - totally content. I guess he just couldn’t wait to be with us!

We picked [name]Oliver[/name] as a name that works equally well in Polish and English - his nickname is already Oliwek (pronouced Oli-vek, with the accent on the second syllable). [name]Augustine[/name] is in memorial to a dear friend of mine who died tragically a few years ago. And [name]Felix[/name] is just for fun!

I’m so grateful for all the help I got from the Berries when picking out his names!

Congrats to you and your family on the safe arrival of your son, [name]Oliver[/name] [name]Augustine[/name] [name]Felix[/name]. He certainly couldn’t wait to meet you! I’m glad everything turned out well. His name contains three of my favourite boys names and I have a soft spot for [name]Julian[/name] too! Good job!

Congratulations! [name]Glad[/name] he was all right after that unusual and exciting entrance to the world. [name]Oliver[/name] [name]Augustine[/name] [name]Felix[/name] is a lovely name. [name]Oliver[/name] and [name]Felix[/name] are two of my favourites and I like [name]Augustine[/name] but prefer [name]August[/name] which wouldn’t have worked so well in the middle spot. [name]Julian[/name] and [name]Oliver[/name] make a wonderful sib-set.
