40 Weeks

Well, we're almost here! If everyone thinks really hard and wishes for Violet to come tonight, then maybe she will!!! :) Ready, set, go!

I am thankful for the sunshine today - I will certainly get outside and walk a bit. Maybe to Famous Footwear to get a pair of Fit Flops for my poor feet! Actually, looking better than a few days ago. Thanks for the prayers.

We've got a couple more projects left to do, Scotty's almost done with the artwork in Violet's room, and the rest of my storage baskets are on their way - I can finally finish organizing which everyone knows I love to do! Scotty put up a beautiful shelving/clothes hanging unit in her closet, I'm tempted to do the same for our bedroom! Photos coming soon!

    Hi! What a great idea!
    Violet is acting like her Dad who was 3 weeks late (2nd baby). She'll come in her own good time.

    Love that streamlined shape. Great for underwater manouvres! I can hardly wait to see that sweet baby Violet. I love you both (I mean all 3) of you. Your most adoring Papa!

    Amy and I are so excited for you. I called the office this morning just to see if you were there and got no answer. We sure are going to miss you. BUT, we can't wait for the news that Miss Violet has arrived. Keep us posted with fun details and pictures. :) Praying for you...

Approaching 2

    This girl is amazing. I am so thankful every day I wake up and see her beautiful face. Violet is full of joy, humor, and love. She knows what she wants and knows how to ask for it, most of the time in a very polite manner. I don't know what I did to deserve such a perfect daughter. Somebody's smiling down on me that's for sure. Obviously, it goes without saying that her family and friends have been so supportive and loving and kind to my Violet. She is truly a very lucky little girl and I am lucky to be her mom.   Where does the time go? It was just yesterday I was sitting nursing her, well, actually it was this morning...but you get what I'm saying. Where does the time go? They are so tiny and yet so full of life when they are born. From the time they first open their eyes and sneeze to when they beging holding their heads up and laughing for the first time, to sitting up and crawling. The way they try so hard to go, move, explore, live. Every day more ...

What a Joy

We have been truly blessed with our little bundle of joy. Violet is growing so fast. She is dancing and waving. She has two teeth coming in. She is crawling all over, climbing stairs and pulling herself up and walking along, holding onto the sofa. She can walk when you hold both of her hands or just one. She is laughing up a storm and her smile is the one thing that can pull me out of any not so happy mood. I can't even remember the last time I was mad...I mean, who can be mad or sad or frustrated or annoyed when you have that adorable face to look at, seriously!?!? At 9 months, she has the focus to stack cups and pound little wooden balls through a hole in a wooden tower. She has even started doing some yoga - at least we think that's what it is, she does boat and is so proud of herself and so serious until we giggle and then she cracks herself up. Oh my gosh, its so fun. Now that Violet is eating solids, I've found a little freedom. Although she does have a bit of separ...

Life at Home With Baby V

We've now been home for 13 days. I can't believe Baby Violet is almost 2 weeks old! I'm finally getting an opportunity to blog about my beautiful new baby. I think I'm still a little in shock - every time I look at her I can't believe she's here. First of all, I just want to quickly thank all of our friends and family for your continued help and support. You have made this transition into parenthood so much easier for us, by helping around the house, preparing meals, and offering helpful tips and love. After 24 hours of labor, at 3:07 AM, Saturday, March 19th, 2011, we finally brought our beautiful little girl, Violet Nichole Tuton, into world. She was 8 pounds, 7.5 ounces, and 21 inches long. She is absolutely perfect. Our experience with our Family, Doula, and Midwife at home at the Birth Center was amazing. Most of the labor was actually quite easy to work through; we were calm and excited at the same time, there was a lot of joking and laughter. Pushing ...
