- Our Newest Little Monkey
At 1:05 p.m. we welcomed Violet Grace into our family and became officially outnumbered by this gorgeous 5 pound 12 ounce, 19 inch long (hairy) bundle of joy! Of course I will post the full delivery story tomorrow but I just had to share a pic or two tonight.
Look at how happy I am…the External Cephalic Version worked! She’s my little flippin’ chicken and after just an hour of very painful labor (and much unattractive panting) once the epidural wore off from the ECV and 4 pushes – she was in my arms. No surgery required!
Breastfeeding is going swimmingly and I really have nothing but great things to say about her arrival and our first few hours together!
Mommy's First Pic with Violet
She came out with the lungs of a lion and let us know she was one healthy baby!
See Her Roar!
She’s got the cutest little feet…

Loves her Daddy…

And she lets me stare at her each and every minute…
Sleepyhead Violet
Thank you all for all of your thoughts and prayers and well wishes. We are doing extremely well and I can’t wait to tell you all about my little Violet after I get just a little rest. I warn you – many pictures are coming so I hope you like babies as much as I do!

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH! You did it!
She is BEAUTIFUL!! So tiny and fuzzy!
You have the easiest labors! The pics look great! Get lots of rest and drink a lot of water and I’m so glad it all went well!!!! YAY!
PS. Who’s the stunt double in the pic after the delivery. She looks just like you but does not have the wiped out look of a woman who just gave birth. Uncanny resemblance!
