Remember the Blur

 I stopped posting this year because things were out of control and I knew if I wrote about it at all, I wouldn't have much to say that I would want to read or remember later.  It's all rather a blur.  365 days of survival blur.  Truth be told, I feel like I'm kind of having an out of body experience to be on the flip side of crazy.  The trick now will be to not fill my hours with new crazy.

Here are a few things I, however, do not want to forget.

 Family is everything isn't it.

Land of the Living

 oKAY- So today is the first day I have felt like a human being again and my  am I depressed that I have missed so many great Violet moments!  How about some catch up:

Labor and Delivery

Now that I think of it, we got an extra bonus day out of our insurance since it took about 15 hours to deliver Violet and they don't start counting until her actual debut.  Whew- that was hard work.  Still- way too much time in this room.  Annie demanded to hold Violet right away and has not stopped giving her kisses ever since.

 Recovery:

 When they said I only had two days to figure out how to function at home, I can't remember if I started crying or laughing.  Either way, it was bad.  Poor baby V.  We didn't get to bond for quite some time but it sure opened the door for Q to fall in love with his new little girl. He held Violet for almost 2 days straight.

Going Home

Here we are going home from the hospital.  We still can't believe we have two little girls! Poor Violet had to wear blue for a few days before I could get some of Annie's old things washed.  Q had a huge vase of Violets waiting for us when we got home.

 

 Visitors

 We did not have many visitors this go because i was so sick.  Just a few great grandparents and some quiet days with V.  We even sent Annie away to Lake Powell for the better part of the week.
