In Case You Haven't Heard....

Yes! Little VIOLET CLAIRE KENNEDY came into the world on August 31!!! After 5 days of labor... no i am not kidding... 7 shots of terbutaline, tons of pills and a round of magnesium (that was both horrible and unsuccessful) oh and did i mention a changed due date of OCTOBER 2..... our little girl insisted on meeting us 5 weeks early. Her tiny little lungs weren't prepared to breath on their own. This is her at her very worst.... yes i hate this picture... but it is our life for now.
She is already in love with her daddy... and who wouldnt be... he is the baby whisperer!
i have practically camped out at the hospital. We are so greatful to have Grandma and Grandpa, Mike and Marsha have had the boys for ten days now and i am certain they are exhausted; but it has been a tremendous blessing, for me, that the boys haven't had to feel our stress.Violet is both sweet and sassy... she loves snuggling and is happiest being held... she is sure to let EVERYONE know when she is hungry and pitches a pretty impressive fit! We are in love with her.... she is doing well! We are hoping to bring her home oxygen free in the next few days... I keep telling David (and Heavenly Father)that Sunday is my limit but we will see!!!

Wow, you are such a trooper! I'm glad that she is doing better and I hope you can bring her home soon. Are the boys in Rigby? Let me know and we will have them come over and play so Mike and Marsha can get a break.

Congratulations! You are amazing! Hopefully she will be home soon and the hard hospital stay will be over. When my oldest was born he had some issues and they kept him for 5 days after his birth and it was very hard, but once we got our little boy home the frustration faded away. I know you've had a much harder time than we did, but hang in there!
