    Olivia is beautiful! They say that when you have a baby it’s like a little piece of your heart gets ripped out and put into that little person. You will never be the same. (in a good way.) Congratulations to you and the Pilot!

  29. Jenn D. on January 8, 2012 at 5:49 pm

    Hi Gina, I’ve been a “closet follower” for many months but have to post a congratulations to your beautiful baby girl! I too have a beautiful baby girl, named Olivia but she is my 11 year old baby now. She is my absolute sunshine and I have a feeling that your Olivia will be yours as well. I’m considerably older than you but want to thank you for your inspiration and encouragement to all w/your blog. I know that you and your “Pilot” will have many days and years of enjoyment as my husband and I have. Be prepared to have some sleepless nights but a tons of laughs as well. You look beautiful by the way!
