Olivia Grace

I was contacted about possible adoption on December 15th or 16th I can’t remember the exact day. We met in person on 12/19 with your biological grandma Linda. She was very nice and told us all about you and your bio mom. She’s a very young girl who’s made some very bad choices in the past and she wanted a better life for you. She had heard about us from your aunt Brittany who is one of mommy’s bff’s. Everyone agreed this just felt right. We loved you before we even met you. We were feeling very happy and scared. We decided not to tell many people until we were sure you were going to be ours.

12/27 we met your bio mommy and she felt positive about everything. We agreed that we would be your adoptive parents.

We spoke often with your bio family finding out more about them and they kept us updated on you. You kicked a lot J

Your due date was January 21st and on Dec 27th the doctor decided you were ahead of that and moved your date up to January 11th.

On January 9th we got a call to come to the hospital and to hurry.

We arrived at around 8:30 in the morning. I was there when you were born, I watch in awe as the doctor lifted you up. I saw your bio mom cry very sad tears knowing she couldn’t be there for you. You came very quickly. You entered this world at 11:31 am. Your daddy held you first. When they handed you to me you smiled and melted my heart. I felt such joy and love. It was the most amazing things I’ve ever experienced. You were beautiful 6lbs 2 oz and healthy.

Mommy and daddy stayed with for two days at the hospital. You were very calm and we had to wake you up more than once to feed you, you are a great sleeper. Aunt Becky, Lisa, Brittany, Jessi and Uncle Joe and Steve came to visit us. They were so excited to meet you. J

We left the hospital on January 11th. There was a snow storm and the roads were terrible. We stayed the first night with uncle Daniel and Aunt Becky so we were close to your doctor in case you needed them. Mommy had to go to work the next day and daddy had you all to himself. You and daddy picked mommy up from work so we could finally go home. You are such a calm easy to care for baby. You smile constantly. You love to be swaddled in your blankets and still didn’t want to wake up to eat.


1/15 grandma and aunt Brittany threw a baby shower for you. You are one lucky girl most babies don’t get to attend there shower. Everyone loved you and cuddled you. You got lots of awesome stuff! Mommy and daddy’s favorites were formula and diapers though. J later that night you didn’t want to be swaddled anymore and wanted to just lay like a big girl in your bed.


1/18 you went back to the doctor for a checkup you were healthy and had gained some weight 6lbs 4 oz.


1/21 mommy’s friends at work threw you another shower. Daddy was going to come and bring you but there was a big snow storm and the roads were not good.


1/24 your umbilical cord fell off….your official J lol


You are a happy healthy baby. You have so much love in your life. We are the happiest proudest parents. You daddy is such a natural he loves you very much and does a lot for you and mommy. He’s one of the best men I know. We both miss you terribly when we have to leave you even for a few minutes. We have waited a long time for you. I know you are a gift from God. A blessing beyond anything I could have imagined. Things happen for a reason…and you are the reason for everything.
