Baby Violet

Our sweet Violet was born today at 11:44 AM. She is 8 pounds 15 ounces and 21 inches long.

I promise to get into the details later, but long story short, I went from induction at 41 weeks to a successful emergency c-section in under 3 hours. She came out purple and screaming--the sweetest sound in the world.

I didn't understand a lot of what happened, it was fast and in Thai, but I did catch the word "morphine" so, needless to say, I'm doing great.

In case you noticed, Violet does look like her sister's clone. We are all completely in love.

She is so cute! I am so sad we aren't there poking her cheeks. Her name is cute too. Great job to both of you guys! Keep the pictures coming.

I love her! I hope Sarah recovers fast and that Violet catches on to the whole nursing thing faster than Eliot did.

Sarah, from one c-section to another I will be praying for you. Go slow, but get up and move as soon as you can, walking around helps. All my love!
