Olivia Nadine Rutigliano-An Angel was born

Hi my name is Pansy, I am fundraising for the cremation of Hailey and Anthony's baby girl, Olivia. Here is their story.

April 1st, the day we found out we were parents. We were so excited.

April 8th, we already had her gender reveal, baby shower, and nursery themes picked out.

May 9th, the day we first got to see her on ultrasound. She was a little dancer. Her heart beat at 163 bpm.

May 30th, the day we got to hear her little heart beat for the first time. 157bpm.

June 27th, we got to see her again. She was still moving like crazy, even waved to us on ultrasound. 147bpm.

June 29th, Daddy got to use the Doppler to find her heartbeat himself. We were so excited to just be present in the moment. 153bpm.

July 8th, we found out she was a little girl. Olivia Nadine Rutigliano, is the name we hand picked for her.

July 19th, we joked about how she was already taking over with the amount of baby clothes we already had from everyone. She was loved more than we could ever express.

July 22nd, we picked out a design to be hand painted in her room.

July 27th, our entire world had changed. We were supposed to be there for a high risk consult due to my diabetes. We had been doing everything right. We had followed what the doctors said to a T. The very doctor who gave us the worse news of our lives, also praised us. She wished that all of her Type 1 Diabetic patients would do what we had done. We worked hard and brought my A1C down to 8.1 to try and conceive. We worked even harder once finding out we were pregnant, and brought it down to 6.1. I was the healthiest I had ever been. However, it wasn’t enough.

“I’m so sorry,” was all the words she could get out. The heartbreak on her face was only a fraction of what we had felt. Olivia, OUR Olivia, was gone.

July 29th, scheduled for an induction. Things still a blur to all of us.

July 30th, 8:07am: Olivia was born and pronounced dead. 23 weeks and 3 days into pregnancy. We were over halfway there.

Everything happened so quickly. One minute, we were planning to raise our babygirl. The next, we’re being told we have less than 48 hours to decide what we want done with her body. Nobody plans for this. Nobody prepares for this. So, we ask you all for help. We’re asking for help to cover the expenses of cremation; transportation; medical bills; and missed hours from work. Whether small or large, whatever donations we are blessed with are much appreciated. Thank you from the deepest depths of our hearts. Even if all you can do is share, thank you.
