She zipped into the world after MAYBE 5 minutes of pushing at 10:28, Sunday August 23rd, weighing 3 lbs and 2 oz; 17 inches long and was born at 31 1/2 weeks old.
We have a lot to share about her birth story, both horrendous and miraculous. But for now, we want to thank everyone SO MUCH for all the support and prayers. We just took a deep breath today, coming up for air for the first time in 5 days. I didn't even know it was going to be Friday until last night when Rafe told me.Olivia looks 100% better then she did when the life flight crew wheeled her away Sunday night. She was flat, yellow, and bruised and completely limp. We have a picture the crew gave us right before they took off and it is shocking in it's intensity. If we have time tomorrow or the next day, we will begin to update with more details.

She's beautiful, tubes & all! Just a doll! I can't get over how long she is, she's almost the same length mine are at full term!
I am, and sooooo many others, have been praying for Oliva, from the time we heard that she may be making an early entrance all the way up to today. And I am still getting request for updates daily. Those ARE some long legs! Super model maybe??? I'm just sayin!! Take care of yourselves too!
Oh my gosh. She's precious even with all those tubes. I can't imagine how hard this is on you. We're praying for you all. Love you!
Laurie, I have been thinking about you all every day. Olivia is beautiful! She was born the same gest. age as my girls and weighed the exact same as Rebecca:). I check fb a few times a day for updates. Please let me know if you need anything. I know this is an emotionally trying time.
