Time to Give a Smile. (Please Read)

During the holiday season children look forward to receiving gifts from Santa. Problem is, Santa’s elves have been hit hard this past year and some have even lost their jobs. We have 3 little girls and want to see them happy and can’t imagine not seeing our girls smile on Christmas morning. The Toys for Tots Foundation has been making children smile since 1947, why not help them.

We will purchase and drop off toys with your help. It’s easy, and only costs you a few moments. But you need to act now as this ends December 19th 2009.

The Feds welcome Baby Violette!

As many of you may know we were expecting our 3rd baby girl in August. After some light housekeeping, I felt a little contraction and then noticed another and another… I told James that they were 10 minutes apart, and we decided to give the doctor a call. I really didn’t want to drive to the hospital for false labor, after all I still had 4 weeks til my due date. By the time we got to the doctors (about 20 minutes after telling James I was having contractions) my contractions were 8 minutes apart. The doctor said, yes I was in labor and to quickly get to the hospital. Of course James and I stopped at the 7-11 to grab snacks ;) When we got the hospital, my contractions were now 5 minutes apart. I was in no pain, just like my previous pregnancy ( lucky me) so the hospital staff told me to walk around to get things to progress. After about 30 minutes, I was in intense pain. They placed a monitor on me and noticed that my contractions were less than 1 minute apart. After a nurse checked me to see if I was progressing, another nurse came in to check me as well. When she did, her face turned white and said she couldn’t feel the baby’s head. Panic set in. She checked with the ultrasound and discovered the baby was breeched and a emergency c-section was needed. From that moment to when I delivered Violette was about 20 minutes.  Violette Lorraine Federico was born at sunset, 7:31pm on July 22nd, she was 6lbs. 3oz and 18 inches. After several other problems inclusing the need for a second spinal to correct a spinal leak, we finally were able to bring our beautiful baby girl home. Her big sisters are absolutely in love with their new baby. Many more photos are sure to follow including our official baby announcement.
