Congratulations Mommy!!

Today was a very good day for Olivia Jane! The nurses increased her feedings to 2cc every hour! She is digesting it very well, and having good bowel movements. I know you guys want to know what the "congrats mommy" is all about...right?! 

Well, today Olivia's blanket had gotten damp and Melissa asked the nurse for a new one. When the nurse brought the blanket to Melissa, she asked Melissa if she would like to do the honors. Well, Melissa thought that she meant to cover her up, and she said yes. Melissa turned to Olivia Jane, and the nurse gave Melissa her beautiful baby girl to hold for the first time! Olivia Jane is 20 days old today, and today was the first day that mother and daughter were united, with Melissa's arms wrapped around Olivia. Until today, my sister was only able to touch Olivia's hand or foot, and occasionally change her lil' diaper! Congrats Sissy! I am so happy for you and I love you so very much!

Thank you Lord for our beautiful, wonderful blessing named Olivia Jane! God, please continue to wrap your arms around Olivia and keep her safe and healthy. Thank you for helping Olivia through these tough 20 days, and for giving her the strength to do so! Because of you God, Olivia Jane is growing and becoming stronger everyday! I love you God! Also, thank you EVERYONE for your continued prayers! Please continue to pray for Olivia and our family! It is because of our faith and belief in prayer that Olivia is doing so well! Olivia Jane, I love you sweetheart! Hang in there, keep getting stronger, and come home soon!
