Violet was starting to get a little stressed in the womb, but wasn't in any hurry to get out, so labor was induced on Thursday (4 days after her due date) at 11am. Things progressed smoothly and quickly and Kirsten labored really well and without any medication. At 3pm she told the nurse she felt like she needed to push. The nurse checked her and said we had a way to go yet, so she had her get up and walk. Kirsten again said it felt like time, so at 3:03pm, the nurse checked her again, and there was the baby on her way out. The nurse quickly paged the doctor and sat on the end of the bed ready to "catch" the baby just in case. The doctor came in time and after two hard pushes Violet was born at 3:19pm.
She has lots of golden reddish-brown hair and is very sweet and mellow. Her two best skills are eating and snuggling.

Violet is well loved by her dad, her mom, her big brother, and her cousins to name a few. It seems like everybody who has met her so far thinks she is just great.
We brought her home from the hospital yesterday and everybody is tired but doing well.
