Introductions *part five; Olivia*

With our fifth installment of introductions, you will meet the baby of our family, Olivia.


Olivia Rose was our little surprise...a *HOLY COW there are two lines on this thing* moment. The happiest surprise of my life. She began her life on her own terms, and came into the world on her own terms.


She was born via emergency c-section, after labor spontaneously started at 37 weeks. We woke up the operating room and women's center staff at 2am, and she was born on August 25, 2006 at 4:02am, at a little but mighty 5lbs 15oz.



She was and is absolutely amazing. She appears to be planning to live her life, like she came into it, on her own terms.

She is the sweetest baby. Just adorable. She loves to dance and you can often find her sitting in a rocking chair rocking her baby dolls "singing" to them. Olivia does demand her way...all the time. She takes nothing less than what she wants at any time. I guess that is a woman's prerogative..right?

She looks so much like her big sister that it's nuts. Their baby pictures are almost identical, except that Olivia has hair, where Makayla did not. Olivia has always loved to cuddle, but will climb as soon as my back is turned. In all ways, she is an amazing little baby.
