I cant believe that we have gone our entire lives without this sweet girl.
It has been a really incredible experience spending time with and getting to know our little Livvie Lou. She is a very content and snugly baby thus far and we cant seem to get enough.
We had a little scare with her last night. About the time my Sister and her family were leaving Olivia started having a hard time breathing. Within a few seconds she had turned blue and her little eyes were watering. I turned her over and started hitting her back as my quick-thinking Nephew, Tyler, ran out the door calling for a Nurse to help. Trish, the worlds best RN, ran in and got to work. Lots of tears and suctioning later she started breathing. The tears were from all of us... not Olivia. It was terrifying to see all of the goo pouring out of her nose and mouth.
They kept her all night in the Nursery so that she could be monitored, which I was relieved about. No way did I feel comfortable sleeping knowing she could do it again. They ended up basically pumping her stomach. She came down and out so quickly that she never had all the gunk in her lungs squeezed out. I was so grateful to have been here and to be in such good hands.
She's doing much better today... she's been sleeping pretty much non-stop, she's been through a lot in the last 24 hours.
Here are a couple of pictures we took today, just thought I'd share. Thanks for all of your comments and sweet words, I have loved reading them. We are thankful to have so many great friends and family who love us.

Congrats with everything (and whew, that everything is now ok with baby Olivia ... that would have given me quite a scare too!!!). The pictures are adorable and I bet it's so nice to finally have her in your arms. Isn't all the sickness and aches and pains worth the end result?! I'm so happy for you guys!

All my love!
Oh my gosh, she is so stinkin' cute. I am so glad everything is OK with her now. Poor sweet girl. She is so pretty. I cannot WAIT to hold her. It's actually making me a little baby hungry.....scary.
Congrats from the Ross and Janet Wilkins family! I love pictures of newborns with their eyes open. She looks beautiful and how fun to be birthday buddies with Tyler!
Wow! How scary! At least you know why it happened, so you don't have to keep freaking out that it will happen again! I can't believe the resemblence she has! She looks just like her big brother and sister and her daddy! Those are some strong genes! What a cutie. Congrats!!!

Jill she is beautiful!! You guys sure have some pretty adorable kids! I can't believe how little she looks compared to my little guy who I keep thinking was just born. Enjoy her! Congratulations!!
Oh scary, sorry you had to go through that! She is a perfect mix of your other kiddos. So cute!
What a scary experience! SO glad that everything was taken care of and she's doing better!
You always used to say that you wished your kids looked alike...so you know their siblings....I think Olivia is going to link them all together! I can't get over how VERY much she looks like both Ella AND Luke! You definitely know she's their sister!
Holy Crap- look at all that hair!!
I can't wait to meet her and I love her already!
beautiful!She looks just like Luke from the nose down and just like Ella from the eyes up!!!What a perfect combination!!!congratulations and HELLO!!!!!You look like a hottie mom who just gave birth!!!! My delivery mentor!
Congratulations! She is absolutely beautiful.
She is so so beautiful! What a beautiful baby. Congratulations! I am glad that everything in the delivery went good, but scary about the turning blue and having to be suctioned and pumped. I am so grateful you were in the hospital and that everything was just fine. Truly, she is such a darling little girl. I love that she is now here to be in your family.
Oh, wow, she is beautiful. What a scare. I'm so glad for modern medicine and that she is okay. When Bradley was born he had a prolapsed cord, became a C-section and had to be revived once delivered, I know how heart wrenching it can be. She really is beautiful. I can't wait to hold her at Thanksgiving. -Becky
