All babies are special, and all babies are an amazing gift, but there’s something so moving about meeting a new baby whose parents waited and longed for. To see Olivia’s mom holding her in her arms with such a content smile was wonderful. Olivia is a dream, and I must have said “I love her” no less than 700 times. Usually, when I’m putting together a sneak peek, I pull out 3 or 4 images that I really love and get them up here. I just couldn’t choose this time, so here’s almost half the gallery! S & T – congratulations on your little girl, you are going to be wonderful parents!
I have long believed that when someone passes, they take on important roles in heaven. This quote is from a song that Olivia’s grandmother used to sing to Olivia’s mom when she was young, and though her grandmother isn’t here today, I’m certain that she has cradled Olivia in her arms. I love how Olivia stretches her little arms and legs up here as if to agree, “I AM an angel from above”.
