I love her little munchkin cheeks.
and the way she falls asleep... all the faces she makes while she is sleeping... she's a little angel.
sorry, just can't get enough of these photos.
she IS awake sometimes too:), but it is easier to take photos of her when she is sleeping...

I went into labor on Friday night at 10 pm. ( after an entire day of thinking it might happen, Franc and I went for a long walk to try and make it happen quicker). At 11 pm we went to the hospital. Um a few weeks ago I was thinking I should try and do natural labor...HA after an hour of those contractions, I KNEW I wanted an epidural. No matter how scared I was of that needle!
That was the BEST decision I ever made (well, during labor). It was easy breezy wonderful for the next 5+ hours. (after 5 hours of contractions w/o meds). Then, it was discovered that my pelvic angle or something was too narrow to deliver the baby vaginally W/O forceps. Yikes. I was freaking out. I didn't want a c-section , and I didn't want to have the baby's skull harmed from forceps. Well, I ended up having to deliver with forceps. no fun. and the baby's cord was wrapped around her neck, but in the end, everything was okay, and she was perfectly healthy and not harmed. I was so happy to have my little sweet Olivia, that all of the horrific things that were slashed open and torn apart down there seemed like nothing.
I am still in physical pain, but everytime I look at her face I am so overjoyed that I have her in my life, and the pain I am experiencing is all worth it. I could just eat her up. and never stop kissing her. and I never want her to grow up. she is my new best friend.

WA hoooooooo! So excited she's here!! Yes, those little bundles of love really do make you forget all the horror you went through, and go through "down there." (We had a little forcep action with Natalie... not pretty. Good luck with the recovery and make sure to rest even when you don't want to! And when those tough moments come, as they always do, hang in there and remember it gets better and easier everyday. Hug that little Olivia tight cause they really do grow so fast!)
