Olivia Rose is my miracle baby. OK, that's dramatic, but my pregnancies were not easy.. like at all! So, when I got pregnant with Olivia I prayed that this baby would be healthy, but that this baby would also be a SHE because I didn't know if I could endure another pregnancy, and having had a boy already, I really wanted a girl.
I remember knowing she was a girl the day I wanted to buy crib bedding and my ultrasound was not due for another week, so I remember just looking at the bedding that also happened to be on sale, and loving it, and decided I was going to buy it, because right then and there, I knew I was carrying a little girl.
A week later, the ultrasound confirmed 100% that I was indeed going to have a baby girl, and I was overjoyed!
I knew her name was going to be Olivia. I knew this WAY before I got pregnant with her, because I remember dressing Matthew up as a girl when he was a baby (I'm a mean mom) and would call him "Olivia" I also loved the name, because Matthew & I would read Olivia the Pig books over, and over everyday for months! He loved those books, so the name stuck.
Olivia has a pure heart. She is honest, and sweet. She is also feisty and has some fight in her small little frame. This girl will move mountains one day.
Olivia is beautiful inside and out, and I still can't believe that we got entrusted with this perfect little spirit. She loves going to church, and trusts in the Lord.
While I wish she could stay little forever, I know that Heavenly Father sent her here for a special purpose, so glad that she has chosen to be baptized and follow in Christ's footsteps!
I hope she understands how much we love her, and even though that's a lot, it pales in comparison to the love Heavenly Father & Jesus Christ has for her.
I know she knows the importance of this step, and how this decision will shape her life. I'm proud to be her mama.
