Our Family is Complete

Our sweet Violet is finally here, and we love her to pieces all ready. She is totally healthy, we had little scare when I was pregnant, but she is perfect, we are so blessed. She is absolutely beautiful for a newborn especially.
The c-section went well but all the prep before was a nightmare!!! They tried 4 times to do the IV, Seriously I had a student/intern doing it after the 3rd try the nurse took over, I already hate getting the IV so this was traumatic. Then they came to take blood, naturally it took the lady 3 tries. Now it is time for my spinal block, they first do a numbing shot, well big surprise the numbing shot only worked on half of my body, so a sharp shooting pain went down the whole side of my body when he started the spinal, he said whoa lets try something different when I screamed and jerked, he finally got me numb and away with the surgery. Was it everyones first day on the job??? At least she is here and we are doing great.


Here is Jared posing just before they took me back. We didn't get a picture of me, we were about to but they were in a hurry to get me back, the person before me was canceled.
Here she is born on February 26, 2008 at 7:54 , weighing 6 lbs 11 oz.

Jade couldn't be happier, she has been waiting so long to have a sister!



Violet had a lot of visitors, all her grandparents, Nicole, Cherie, Denise, Carol, Kelly,Brittany, Amber, Kendra,Brad, Suzy, Sevin, Nate, Jaime,Rob,and Jennie.
Just waiting to leave the hospital, and we took a couple last pictures.

Violets first time in her car seat.
When we were leaving the hospital one of the nurses flipped out over how cute Violet was and how decked out she was, she called over lots of nurses to come and check her out. It was cute.
