EYE-LET

So it was a terribly rough delivery.  We're home now- but recovery is bleak and dismal.  None-the-less, we are enjoying our new baby immensely!  Annie is enamored with Violet (whom she calls EYE-LET) and insists on helping with the baby at every stage.  Ydnic says she's a bit like a bull in a china shop but we are super glad she has welcomed the new baby with enthusiasm.  Here are a few photos from the hospital:
 We arrived before 9:30am but didn't get Violet until11:10 pm.  I am still over the moon about having another girl!  It took so long to stitch me up that Annie and my family didn't get to meet Violet until 1:30 am.  They were going crazy!  They could hear her crying but we didn't let them come in until I was able to watch their reaction at meeting (surprise) a perfect little girl!
 It took us a few days to name Violet, and we hadn't even had the name Violet waiting in the wings!  She didn't look like Annie at all to us. She had a little round face, less hair, and her personality is quite timid and tender compared to Annie.
 As usual, Annie demands to be front and center.  She knew I have owies though and was super cuddly and soft.
 Annie has to have everything Violet does because it's cool:  like binks and purple bows.
