Olivia Sanne Deters

Our new baby girl FINALLY arrived
on February 27th!

All 9 pounds 5 ounces of her.
22 inches long.

We have a daughter.

I thought the day would never come.

For all the time it took her to decide exactly when to arrive,
she appeared in record time....
2 1/2 hours!!

We were on our way to the hospital
when my contractions went from 10 minutes apart
to 5 minutes apart very quickly.
We checked into at triage at 11 PM.
By 11:30 we were in our labor room.
3 pushes later, and Miss Olivia was born at 1:30 AM!!

The proud Papa with his new little girl.

Olivia's first bath.
She really didn't cry much at all.
It seems she has a pretty easy temperament....so far....

Hayden is thrilled with his baby sister.
He loves to "pet" her and give kisses.

The amazing Keri Blakeney was at it again.
Capturing life's perfect moments....
perfectly.


Awe and amazement.


We think she is pretty wide-eyed and
alert for a new baby.

Our first few sleepy hours at home.

Can't wait to see what the next few days will bring......

She's the sweetest little pea in the land. So glad that there's some pink in this sea of blue we've created!! Oh, and all of you mommies of little boys, we've already worked out an arranged marriage between Olivia and Jakzen, so back off. :)
