1 year ago - Feb 27, 2013

The day after our anniversary (1 year ago today) we had an appt with my Obgyn to see if our baby was going to be a boy or a girl!  That day we found out our little one would be a GIRL and in the same breath found out she had Spina Bifida. 

That is the same day we decided to name our baby girl Olivia Michelle.  We both thought Olivia was beautiful and I wanted her to have my middle name because St Michael is a pretty bad ass patron saint ;) 

A day that was so important and impactful is now is a distant memory.  Thank you to you all for helping support us and show Olivia what love and support can truly do! It can move mountains!  Or in our case it can move a child with a diagnosis that she may never walk ;). Thank you and love you all!!

Post surgery, sleeping it off ;)

A few days old, sleeping with her hand under her head :)

Back healing after Olivia's surgery.  This was about 1 month into healing.

Olivia's shunt after about a month of healing as well.

Be Happy.  Laugh.  Enjoy Chaos.
