Day 148

She's a charmer!

Violet peacefully sleeping in her bassinet in her room (Yay!)

I have been putting her there to hang out and nap during the day. She puts herself to sleep in there really well. So, I guess I should get the monitor set up and try putting her in there at night. Of course then I would have to walk all the way across the house to do night feedings. Hmmmm.

Day 35

Violet is weighing in at 9.5lbs and has started focusing on objects and shapes. She is much more alert when awake and awake for much longer stretches. so exciting!

Day 27

Me and my baby

Ultrasound pix of Violet

Yes, I realize she looks like an alien. Ultrasound pictures are just weird and she never stopped moving while we were trying to get a picture. Her feet are awfully cute though, no?
