Olivia turns Seven

November 18th 2003 this beautiful babe was born.

 

Birth story: I had my last OB appt. Monday, November 17th (2 days shy of my due date). My Mom and Grandma are already in town because I am going to convince my dr. to induce me. The dr. feels Olivia through my stomach and says she’s big. So let’s induce. Perfect! Tyler and I go home and pack then head to the Utah Valley Regional. At 10am they hook me all up with pitocin and we wait. And wait. And wait. I was only a 1 going in so it was slow. I got my epidural right before they break my water at 6pm. Things finally progress. Now I know we don’t need to wait all day to break my water. Probably around 11pm I am ready. Well the dr. wants the baby to “rest and descend”. Which means the dr. wants to sleep a little longer. So after an hour of resting and descending I’m ready to push this baby out. I push twice and the dr. decides there is no way I am going to do this by myself. So the forceps come out. So then the dr. delivered the baby. I didn’t do anything. I remember everyone gasping when her head and arm plopped out. Yelling “she’s so fat”! They didn’t put her immediately on my tummy for me to see. They took her to the warmer to suction. You could tell in her screams that she had fluid in her lungs. They paged the respiratory therapist to come help. They beat the poor child. Pounding on her back. Finally she’s good. They brought her to me and I fell in love. She was born in the early hours of Tuesday, November 18th. She weighed 8lbs 6oz and was 20 inches long. My favorite part was a few hours later when Tyler was done bathing her, he brought her back to me all bundled up with a mint green little bow glued to her head. I had been waiting for a little girl with a little bow my whole life. 

Fast forward a few years………………………………………And my baby girl is 7.

Liv has a major SWEET tooth! Always has. So what better birthday party for her than a “Sweet” party.
