It's a Girl!!

I think we can finally put this whole Gary ordeal to bed. We got a baby girl yesterday at 1:05 pm. Everything went really smooth. Only about five to ten minutes of pushing. Seven pounds, eleven ounces and twenty-one inches. Not too shabby, huh? We named her Violet Sophia. She is every bit a lady.
There is a large construction project going on at the hospital and there was serious stuff going on outside our window starting at 7:30 am. We're talking masonry saws, hammering and that sort of junk.


Henry is a little confused and mad about this new situation. Hopefully he will adjust. So far he has done a lot of pointing accompanied by quizzical looks.
It looks like the teams are even now - two dudes and two girls.


Here is the first photo of her. She is still smothered in that ricotta cheese stuff and still has a foot long umbilical cord for a belly button.
Momma said this one should be captioned something to the effect of "oh my goodness, where's my sock?".

Oh my gosh!!!! Violet is beautiful. I hope everyone is doing well. I'm interested to know how Henry handles everything in the coming weeks. Julie didn't really want to finish out the school year anyway did she?

We love you,
Irene and Alison

I guess I better start working on those projects huh.

So far Henry is a really sweet big brother. He wants to hold and kiss the baby and and demands to "check" on the baby with us. We are all doing pretty well -- a little tired though.

Many congratulations to the Fez Bear fam! Little Vi is just lovely.
Are you all going to sleep in the garage until the rest of the house is done?
