Delivery Day

After a long pregnancy full of trials including 14 weeks of strict bedrest and plenty of worries, we feel SO blessed and fortunate to welcome to the world our little angel Violet Elizabeth Conant. Born at 9:01am on July 12th at 38 weeks, 6 days gestation. She weighed in at 7lbs, 2ozs and measured at 20 inches long ... she's got lots of hair and the personality to match it ...

Dr. Blanton who took SUCH good care of me and what he calls his "miracle baby" ...

Meeting my sweetie for the first time ...

Meeting Daddy ...

Thank you so much to everyone who supported and prayed for us throughout this pregnancy, to everyone who traveled to help us care for Juliet when I was unable to and of COURSE to everyone who cooked, cleaned, brought gifts and visited me in the hospital, played "taxi driver" and especially to all of those who had the pleasure of changing a Juliet diaper special. Because of all of you we now have a gorgeous full term healthy baby girl. She was SO healthy and happy in fact that they let us go home after just 24 hours in the hospital ...
