Capture Your Grief – Day 2. Who They Are

Yes, day 1 is missing because I started late, but it doesn't really matter as the whole point of the challenge is to feel nice and stress free.

I am first copying the post I published on social media: "Olivia Landriau Saraceni is our daughter, the one that we waited for our entire lives. She loved Celebration Snickers and her dad's music and voice. She had the longest hands and feet (from both of us) and in her dad's words: she was all her mother. Her face made it clear that she was going to at least attempt to rule the world... My guess is that the world wasn't ready for her, so she gets to try and rule baby heaven world."

I truly believe what I said, the second after Rachel (the star midwife who delivered our Chiquita) put Olivia in my arms after she was born, we knew she was going to be a handful...  An amazing breathtakingly perfect one, but a handful nevertheless. I can imagine the arguments we would have about everything and nothing. I can also see how easily she had me and mostly Pierre wrapped around her amazingly long finger by just existing. I can hear her trying to convince us about everything and winning! I think I'm very good at arguing and I know that Olivia would've beaten me without me realising what was going on.

Olivia Landriau Saraceni, that perfect human being that turned us into parents was born on Sunday 19th of June 2016 at 2:08am weighting 2.76 kilograms and measuring 51 centimeters. She is our daughter and the pride and joy in both our lives.
