There are a few pictures of Viola, i have many more that will be posted later on. I also have a camera that the transfer team from St. Mary's gave me that has pictures from her transfer and the stay at St. Mary's through all stages of recovery. I havent developed those yet, but when i do ill put them up, some of them are kinda scary, but she came out of it all just fine! For now here is the latest picture of Viola and me at home (finally)!!
When i was looking through the pictures on my camara i realized i didnt get any of Jon or Erica with or around Viola when they came to see her for her surgery :( thank you both so much, it meant a lot to me to have you there and your love and support really helped me get through the scariest thing ive ever gone through! I dont know what i would do without my loving family, and im so happy that this is the family that Viola is coming into!!! I love you all <3




Grandpa and Grandma with Viola. i couldnt have done this without them! they were there for us the whole time! bringing me food, helping me care for Viola, and everything inbetween. Im so thankfull to have their support!!



Jacquelyn (proud godmother) holding sweet Viola. She stayed with me the whole time i was in the hospital, helping change the first diapers, and was there for support! im really glad she was able to take time off work to be there!!

Im starting this blog for all my family (who has been great, and i wouldnt have got through the pregnancy without u) so they can see my Viola Sunshine grow up, and know whats going on in our lives. She was born on November 5th 2009 at 7:56 am, weighing 8 lbs 8oz and 20 1/2 in long.
She was born with a birth defect, tracheal-esophageal fistula, which basically means that everytime she ate food got into her lungs. So she had to have surgery. Shes doing fine now, had to stay at St.Mary's for 2 weeks recovering, and is home now doing great!
