Thankfully, this policy wasn't well-enforced!
When I stepped into Amanda's room, an awesome John Mayer song was playing, and I found it to be so fitting for the situation... He was crooning "We keep on waiting, waiting on the world to change..." And that is exactly what Amanda was doing...
Waiting.
Amanda told me that her baby was waiting until morning to come, in order to give us the best light possible! I laughed, but apparently she was serious... Just after daybreak, it was time for Amanda to start pushing. I have to applaud both Amanda and her amazing husband Jason. I have never seen a more fluid team. It was an emotional sight, just watching the two of them together. You can tell they are completely in love.
Sometime around 8:30, after a long and hard labor, the doctor decided that a c-section was going to be necessary, and Amanda was whisked off to an operating room!
At 9:06 a.m., Baby Olivia made her entrance into the world!
I love the expression on Jason's face as he introduces his newborn to her new family!
Some of my favorite pictures of the day were of little Baby Olivia's feet. She has the longest little toes I have ever seen on a newborn!
Amanda and Jason... Congratulations! I am so excited for the two of you, and Baby Olivia is completely perfect! Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of this amazing day!
I hope you enjoy your slideshow!!!
