Olivia Ann made her entrance into this great big world on Friday, May 7th at 10:09 pm. And everything they say is true. I couldn't imagine the love I would feel for her. I can't believe how amazing the entire delivery was. And now I can't imagine my world without her.
More on the the labor later. She weighs 8 lbs 9 ounces, is 20.25 inches long, and has a head of curly brown hair. The pictures don't do her justice, and her hat has flattened her hair to her head. She's beautiful, Nicholas and I are more than thrilled, and now I know that every complaint I had was so worth this precious gift. I feel so very grateful to have had a healthy pregnancy, a smooth labor, a good delivery, and a beautiful, healthy baby.
Since I was able to go without pain meds, I look like I have gone a couple of bouts in the boxing ring, so I'll withhold pictures with me for a couple of weeks. I don't want to scare anyone!
Congratulations!!! I am overcome with joy and emotions for you. You are now a mama...welcome to a love that can never truly be defined. It is amazing.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day...hold that little baby tight and enjoy EVERY moment. It goes by fast.
The world will be a better place because of Olivia.
We love you all...from my little family of 3 to yours...

ReplyDeleteThe more I look at those pictures, the more I see how bright-eyed she looks. I bet she's one of those babies who just looks and looks at the world around her...
