The Viv

The blog has become outdated due to the arrival of Vivienne Caroline Bradley. She is named after my great-grandfather Roscoe Vivian Morrison and Thomas' grandmother Charlotte Caroline Wilhelmena Praegitzer Bradley. The pronunciation of Caroline is actually like Karolina. Here is the ultrasound of our baby girl. She was due on September 11, 2013 but she arrived on Tuesday, August 13, 2013 at 4:11 am at 5lbs5oz and 19.25 inches. I was hospitalized on Friday with 160/100 blood pressure and they decided to induce at 35 weeks and 6 days. I had a natural birth again (except magnesium sulfate) with 4 hours of active labor. Vivienne was in the NICU for 2 weeks because she wouldn't wake for feedings and came home on daddy's birthday. She came home on oxygen due to blood saturation levels less than 90%. We love her.
