    She’s gorgeous! But we knew she would be. Congratulations! So happy for you all. And i’m glad to finally know her name. (I thought it was Olivia when you gave us just a few letters) Beautiful name for a beautiful baby.

    It is so amazing that she is born this weekend. It was an emotional day yesterday and today driving by all the hundreds of cars at the Tucson cemetaries in remembrance of last year. But your little lady is truly a beacon of light and hope. Love!

    Congratulations! Olivia is beautiful…I was so excited to hear that you were in labor yesterday and that she was born when I got up this morning.

    And now I know why you never told me if my guess of “OLIVIA” was right when I posted it.
    I guessed right! 😉
    It’s a beautiful name. I am an Auntie to a lively 4-year old named Olivia.

    Can’t wait for more Olivia posts! <3
