Olivia Faith Adams

Olivia Faith Adams has finally arrived! Her birthday was one of the happiest days of my life and we are cherishing every moment. We feel very blessed to be a part of this little miracle baby's life!

It all started when I started having pretty intense contractions about 10 minutes apart on Tues. June 8, around 7:30pm. I wasn't sure if it was the real thing or not, so I let it play out. By the time I was ready for bed, they had become about 5 minutes apart and I could not sleep through them. I woke Mark up and we headed to the hospital. When we arrived at the hospital, around midnight on June 9, the nurse informed us that I was only at a 1. I felt very disappointed, because I was so ready to meet our little girl. After I was checked, the doctor came in and said that she didn't want to send me home just yet. She told us to walk for an hour. That hour of walking felt like the longest hour of our life! After the hour of walking, I was checked again and informed that I was at a 2 1/2!!! I was in labor!!!! Shortly after that my water broke. I was moved into labor and delivery. No turning back now. After 16 hours of active labor and some major fluctuations in Olivia's heart rate, the doctors felt that it was best for me and Olivia to have a C-section. Within 15 minutes of the word C-section, I was prepped and ready to deliver. Within 15 minutes of me being in the operating room Olivia had arrived. She was absolutely beautiful. She was born June 9, at 6:47pm, 6lbs, 7oz, 20in long.

Being able to see our daughter for the first time was the most amazing feeling. At that moment, I never thought I could feel so much love for something to small. And now every time I look at her, I can see just how much God loves us! He has given us this beautiful baby girl to love. Something that we thought was never going to happen. She is such a little blessing.

40 Weeks!!! I made it.

Here we are, 40 weeks pregnant, the day I am due. Still no baby yet. I will be induced on Thursday, June 10 at 8pm, if she decides to stay until then. What an amazing journey this has been. It is so humbling to know that God cares about me enough to give me the desire of my heart, which is to be a mom. I have dreamed about this for a long time and it is finally happening. Mark reminded me this evening that tomorrow night will be our last night at home, just being Mark and Sarah, and then after that we will become a family of three. I love the sound of that! I want to thank everyone who has been a part of this journey with us. Thank you for your love and support. We love you all!
