Christmas with Violet

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Everyone! We had a great time with our little Violet over the holiday. Santa visited our house for her and we had lots of visitors come over to see Violet. Check out some of the pictures of the holiday.

Welcome to our new and improved BLOG!

I made a few changes to our BLOG to represent the change in our household recently. Violet Ann Emmons was born on Tuesday, December 8th at 8:33 AM at Covenant Hospital in Saginaw, MI. She weighed 6lbs. 10.8oz. and was 19inches long. She has a full head of Shane's curly dark hair and my toes. We are very excited about the arrival and have had so much fun this past week with her. I can't believe she will be a week old tomorrow. Please save our BLOG address so you can come back and visit and see updated BLOGS and pictures of our family.

May we present...Baby Violet!!

We headed to the doctor's office early Monday morning with early labor signs, but since my blood pressure was high, they sent me to the hospital. Once there we had 22 hours of labor. I had an epidural, but it didn't work all the time, especially towards the end. Around 7AM the doctor came in and said that I wasn't able to dilate enough for the baby to come so they needed to do a C-section. Part of me was relieved and the other was wondering why I went through 22 hours of labor to have a C-section, but after I saw her, it was all worth it. She's absolutely beautiful with a full head of dark hair like Shane and she has my toes. She was officially brought into the world at 8:33 AM. We are still in the hospital until tomorrow for C-section recovery. Check out the pictures.
