    Congratulations! What a beautiful baby girl! And I LOVEEE the name. If I were having a girl I wanted to name her Olivia Grace, but mine is a boy, making his debut in 4 weeks. Congrats again to you, Tom, Bella and your families on the precious new addition! ๐Ÿ™‚ (Too bad she wasn’t born just a few short minutes earlier, on my birthday…I guessed previously & commented that I thought you would have her on my birthday, LOL).
