I finally got to hold Violet this morning! They let me try to feed her, but she was feeling too snuggly and wanted to sleep instead. I tried a bottle first, but she wasn't too interested, so I took some breast milk on my finger and tried to get some into her mouth. She clenched up her lower lip and went back to sleep. She looked exactly like Tona when she did that.
Tona is feeling and looking better this morning. She might have to have a blood transfusion soon as she lost quite a bit of blood in the surgery yesterday, but her temperature is back to normal and the hives are starting to go away. She will just have to take it easy for the next couple days.
Evidently, Tona got to breast feed in the middle of the night. I was sleeping a foot away from her and missed the whole thing. Violet took very well to the feeding and Tona was VERY happy she got to hold her daughter.
I've posted more pictures on Snapfish this morning. I apologize that you have to register to see the pictures, but Yahoo Photos closed down and I had to post them somewhere.

Violet-
This is your stalker aunt, Christiane . I've never been so excited, except for maybe when Lucy was born! :) I love the pictures that your daddy posted - especially the one of you peeking over the drape. I can tell that you are full of character! I just tried calling you guys to say hi . I'm glad you are all feeling better and that Violet is taking to the eating thing - she's a Bartels!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! We are so excited for you all!! We can't wait to meet her!! Take care and we will be in touch soon!
Love to you all!!
