I just wanted to thank everyone for any prayer or thought that has come my way these last few days....Baby Olivia was born on January 28,2010 at 9:49 a.m....they label it a stillborn, but, I do not like the way that sounds...there was a knot in her umbilical chord....it was so sudden and I just long to hold this sweet little girl...I am so grateful for the belief I have that I will see her again...it has been a very sad few days...but, I really have felt so lifted by so many prayers...there is power and strength that comes to you when people are praying for you...

Heather and Doug, we love you guys. Olivia is so beautiful just like her mom.
If you want to connect with anyone who had a similar experience, one of my friend's friends has a blog here caitandbrig.blogspot.com.
We LOVE your family. You guys brought so much into our lives you will never even know! Thanks for being our friends.
Oh Heather I love this picture. We love you so much and our thoughts and prayers continue to be with you.
oh heather, i had no idea! i'm so sorry, she is absolutely precious. i can't imagine what you guys might be going through, just know my prayers are added to many others. wishing you peace.
Heather, we are so sad for you and your family. We'll keep you in our prayers. That is a beautiful picture of you and Olivia.
Love, the Couser's
That is a beautiful picture.
Love you guys,

This picture is seriously gorgeous. What a tender display of the love shared between the 2 of you. I too am very grateful for the knowledge we have. Families are truly forever. I do wish you and your family comfort at this time. A close friend of mine lost her baby at 3 days old due to a serious genetic disorder. As hard as it was to say good bye to her sweet Angel baby Bailey, she found a lot of light and happiness in everything and everyone she came in contact with. Sweet Olivia will always be with you sending you sweet kisses when you need them
This picture is beautiful. Olivia is beautiful. How grateful you must feel to know she is yours for eternity. I love you and pray for you daily.
Heather, my heart just aches for you! I simply cannot comprehend what the last couple of days have been like for you. I am so, so sorry. I wish I was there to give you a big hug. Absolutely you'll be in my prayers and thank you for sharing this beautiful picture! I love you, Heather!
Heather and Doug,
I am so incredibly sorry for you both. The exact same thing JUST happened to my dearest and closest cousin. She was 8 months pregnant. This trial must be so difficult. I am sure she would be happy to talk if you needed someone. You are both in our prayers and please know of our love for you. This is the dearest picture and I am sure Olivia will be so happy to be reunited with her wonderful parents one day.
OH, Heather. My heart is aching for you! I am sooooooooo sorry! You and your sweet family will be in our prayers. Love you! That picture is BEAUTIFUL!

Oh Heather...I'm doing the ugly cry...have been constantly thinking of you and sweet Baby Olivia since I talked to Roselyn last week...I love her name...she is beautiful and perfect. So glad you don't have to go through this without the knowledge that she will be yours forever, and you will get to raise her...Every time I look into my own baby's face, my heart truly hurts for you and Doug...you are an amazing mother Heather, and your children are so blessed to have you. I pray that you find peace in knowing that little Olivia is surely one our Heavenly Father's special spirits with a special work to do.
