Olivia Mae

Our sweet Olivia Mae was born six weeks early on July 20th, 2013. We found out a few weeks before she was born that there were some complications with her health. They did a few things and watched her for a couple of weeks and decided it was time for her to come out. They induced me and after my longest labor, she was born weighing five pounds and three ounces. She was taken to the NICU right away. She fought for two days and then was finally taken back home to our Heavenly Father. We love her and miss her more than words can express, but we know that through the Atonement of Jesus Christ and because our family is sealed together for all eternity in the temple that we will be with her again some day. We know she is safe, happy and taken care of right now.

We are so grateful for all the thoughts, prayers and support from everyone as we've tried to find our way through this trial. We have been blessed with wonderful families and a wonderful ward. We've felt so loved. Thank you to everyone.
