Congratulations on your growing family. May Olive continue to fill your hearts and home with joy and purpose. My husband is always so good to remind me and many of our parent friends that through the ups and downs of parenting that the most important gift you give your child is love. It is clear in the photos that Olive is already so loved.

Did two of those C births - both unplanned. Was tremendously grateful for modern medicine and the beautiful babies that have grown into marvelous adults.

So happy your little girl has arrived. A c section can take awhile to recover from. I delivered three times naturally but have heard and helped friends who had one. Be well take care and give yourself grace. Delivering a tiny human takes a lot out of you! Blessings to you and your family! ❤️🌸🌺😇

A precious baby. Congratulations. Parenting is an adventure, journey, pathway to learning more about yourself and each other. May you find good mentors along the way, revel in all that the journey provides, and be flexible with all the twists and turns the adventure is sure to bring. You have already experienced a major turn with C-section. Indeed it is birth. Indeed you are a mom - and still an individual person. May you find ways to embrace all the Venn diagram circles and intersections of all parts of your lives.
