I love our baby girl. It's amazing how much of a difference it makes knowing the gender. The words "the baby" are replaced with "her/she" and suddenly she is no longer an abstract thought, she is a concrete human being. Then we started calling her by a name: Violet. This creates a greater impact and adds to the reality of having a child. SHE is our little GIRL, and we call her VIOLET. I love her very much. Last night I became scared to let her out of my womb, not because of the physical pain I would feel from that, but because I don't ever want anything to happen to her! I'm afraid I will be one of those crazy moms who can't bear to see their child in pain. I never totally grasped the love of a mother until I became one. Maybe after all the sleepless nights and exhausting days of taking care of a child helps you become more level headed, but all I know is that right now I NEVER want anything to happen to my baby. I don't know what I would do if I ever lost her, or if she was sick, or if she were so sad. It would break me. What is it about being a mother that makes you feel this way? I'm not sure. But I feel it. And I love my little Violet.

I Love Our Baby Girl
Here are the latest pictures of our little girl! She was super cute, though she looked like a skeleton. :) She had her legs crossed at her ankles and you could see her sucking on her hand! Super cute! We love you Violet and can't wait to hold you in our arms!

aww, becca you are so sweet! i am still that way with claire and this one too. you never get over how you feel, but at some point, you have to tell yourself (or in my case bryce told me) that i need to not be so ridiculous. claire spent the night at kennedy's house last weekend and i almost called julie to go get her. i was crying and bryce had to keep me held together. it was good for me. but you never get over being sad because they are sick and all of that. all you can do is your best and love her like you do.
I would not unleash the spawn of James into this world without some good Becca genes to balance things out. One half of that was my idea and the other was Kristina's can you guess which was which?
