Olivia: means olive tree. The Promised Land was to be `a land of olive trees and honey'. The anointing of people and objects with olive oil has a long history and a sacred significance.
Renee: Olivia's birth mom gave her this as her first name and we wanted to keep it out of respect. Much like we kept Janay in Hannah's name.
Hope: The Biblical definition of hope is "confident expectation." Hope is a firm assurance regarding things that are unclear and unknown. Hope is a fundamental component of the life of the righteous. Without hope, life loses its meaning and in death there is no hope. The righteous who trust or put their hope in God will be helped, and they will not be confounded, put to shame, or disappointed. The righteous who have this trustful hope in God have a general confidence in God's protection and help and are free from fear and anxiety. The same reason we gave Hannah this middle name.
B: our last name:)
I am already preparing myself..... Hannah Janay Hope! Olivia Renee Hope! Stop fighting or I'll send you both to your rooms!

I love her name! Congratulations. You are such a great mom. I can't wait for stories of the two of them. How fun--sisters!! :):)
Love her name; so very excited for you and will be praying. What a blessing two girls so close in age.
Answering your questions... :)
It is rare that she could have another occurance, but they have to keep checking the heart because it could have effects on the heart later, but thankfully so far her heart is very healthy, but we have to return once a year to make sure.
