olivia rose*

olivia rose* is finally here. she arrived 11/24/2009 at 1.26pm and was 8 lbs 8 oz. i was told that being induced at 4.3oam and having her arrive only an hour & a half after they broke my water was great & i was very lucky. but man! i had some friends tell me horror stories to "prepare me" for labor but the horror stories didn't do it justice. but my beloved*s cousin did say this summer, once the baby has arrived pain has no memory & it's like nothing ever hurt, was sore or caused you any grief. we spent a little bit of a longer stay at the hospital but olivia rose* is perfect. she is healthy, happy, gorgeous & finally here with us in our arms. i apologize we were completely slacking we didn't take any pictures of olivia biscuits* & snugglebutt but he is coming over today & we will get on that asap. he did just what we thought he would (we surprised him) he came running into our bedroom & i was just finishing feeding her & snugglebutt froze! put his cheesy smile on his face & in a weird shy voice "that's my baby sister" and gave her a kiss! this kid is too cute, ah!

but here are just a few of the hundreds of pictures people (my father, papa!) have taken of her. more to come.
