CONGRATULATIONS !!!

Dear Amanda,

I am soooo very happy for you and your little family!!! I am an old fan of Stargate and have become quite attached to you all over the years. I was so delighted when RDA became a Dad as he always seemed to genuinely love children. Now you are a Mom to Olivia, and I'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as he enjoys Wylie. Sometimes I think a long wait for a child makes them all the dearer. I have never been blessed with a child of my own and your message in the website had me in tears--sad for me but joyful tears for you. And by the way, you are a wonderful actor--Moebius was incredible--you were great.

To the family,

Congratulations on the birth of your new daughter. I know that both of you will be excellent parents. Enjoy her while she is little because she will grow up very fast. How do I know because my daughter just turned 10 in December and my son will turn 3 in two weeks. It seems like only yesterday I was in the hospital giving birth. Hope all is well.

Your fan from Tennessee,

Julie

Over the moon for you. Being a grandmother myself I thought I send these words from a song for Olivia. "May God's blessings always keeps you. May your wishes all come true. May you always do for others, and let others do for you. May you build a ladder to the stars, and climb on every rung. May you stay. FOREVER YOUNG.

Love

CONGRADULATIONS to Amanda and Alan on the birth of your beautiful daughter Olivia.

I'm sure with devoted and loving parents as both of you will be, Olivia will grow up to be a smart, strong, inspirational role model, the same as her mother.

Amanda, I love and respect your portrayal of Samatha Carter. You truly have been a great role model for my 13 year old niece. I hope that when SG-1 is over, you will find another character that can show young girls it's okay to be smart and strong as a woman and still be feminine. Keep up the great work you do. Now, enjoy being a mother.

Dear Amanda and Alan-

Congratulations and much joy and happiness on the arrival of sweet little Olivia.

I wish you the very best during the feedings, the diapers, the terrible twos, that first day of school, through the teenage years, that first driving lesson and then finally graduation (both high school and college)!

There will be good days, bad days, days of joy and maddening days, but through it all you will love and grow as a family.

May your family always be blessed with a loving, healthy and happy life!

Peace,

Evelyn

Olivia is Special
Her face lights up

When you – most ordinary you – come into sight.

You songs delight her.

You are the one, who can soothe her into sleep,

Drive off her terrors, lever her from tears,

To laughter. She is so beautiful, so funny, so eager, so resolute.

And she loves you with all her heart.

--Pam Brown

Fathers and Daughters
I used to love watching them together.

He didn’t quite know what to do with her –

he would gaze at her with wonder in his eyes.

She was delicate, she was a girl, so he would be delicate with her.

He was a gentle man, not overly demonstrative,

yet when he looked at his daughter –

his first daughter-you could see him melt.

--Lauren Bacall

First Babies
Before you were conceived

I wanted you

Before you were born

I loved you

Before you were here an hour

I would die for you

This is the miracle of life

--Maureen Hawkins

Mothers and Daughters
When I hold her exhausted from the day’s work

And the disturbed nights, there is a deep relief

And pleasure at finding myself able to give – again

And again – what’s needed: bottles, changes, attention.

I’ve at last found the good mother within me,

The ability to put someone else’s needs before my own,

And she’s so beautiful it feels like a privilege.

--Jean Radford, from “Balancing Acts”

Hi Amanda! I'm Elena and I wanted sooooo much to congratulate for the birth of your daughter. Bet she's the loveliest creature in the world :). I've read Olivia was born on 22nd March. You know what? On the same day, while you were giving your daughter to life (Well no, guess it was some time earlier...), I was getting operated. that's singular, isn't it?

Anyway, I wish you endless happyness!

CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!! WELCOME OLIVIA !!!!!!!

What a beautiful name for, I'm sure, a beautiful baby girl. Way to go guys, she sounds like a first base player to me =). It's good to know in this world that enough good thoughts and prayers are sometimes answered. I know I was one small voice in the sea of good wishes for you and your family on a safe and happy delivery.

I wish you and Alan the best for each giggle, step and smile....... I look forward to seeing you, Amanda, whenever YOU decide you're ready to go back through the gate!!

Good Fortune to you and yours.....

Dear Amanda and Alan,

Congratulations on the birth of your wonderful baby girl. I'm so happy for you both. I hope this is the start of a long, healthy and happy life together as a family.

And to baby Olivia:
After 22 years of practice i have found that being good all the time is all very well, but being a little naughty every now and again will certainly keep your mum and dad on their toes and make life more interesting!
Welcome to the world!

All my peace and love,
Jenni
