Dear Olive,
We went to the hospital for an 8 am appointment Monday, December 19 to see how you were since we are so far past your due date. The doctor checked us out and by about 9 am he said "well I hope you packed a few things because you are going to have this baby".
Daddy and I were so happy! They started inducing and right away contractions began (I realised I had actually had one or two yesterday but didn't know!) and kept going for a long time. By about 11pm that night we were no closer to you coming out and the doctor decided we needed a Caesarian section to get you here safely.
They wheeled me down the hall to the operation room with daddy dressed in scrubs and at 12:26 am Tuesday, December 20th you were born! You cries out when they pulled you out and I got to hear your voice for te first time ever! It was the best thing I have ever heard in my life baby. I actually recognized your cry even though neither of us had heard it before. Thy cleaned you up and handed you to daddy to show you to me as I was still on the operating table while they closed me up. Your little face... It was like coming home baby. It was the best moment of my life so far.
I was already in love with you.
Xo mama
