Mark has been amazing, grocery shopping and taking care of his family in any way needed and we love him for that!! I'm so glad your mom could help you during this trial in life. Continued prayers for sweet Violet and all those big brothers! Thanks for any updates you can share with us. God Bless.
The best thing your doing is holding your baby my grandson was born at 30 weeks weighing 3lb9oz
Dropping to 3lb2oz and my son and daughter in law held him all the time and they were told that’s why he did so well .
He is now a happy intelligent 3 year old making us proud everyday.💕💕
So glad for your grandson. Holding Violet feels like I am doing sacred work and I’m grateful I’m able to do it.
My only grandson was just born at 2 lbs 9 oz! NICU for the haul!!
There’s a look on most NICU parents faces, that’s full of so many emotions. It’s a mixture of love, fear and sadness. There’s also hope. It’s almost like you’re afraid to be happy. Things change so fast in the NICU.
I’m not sure if you are aware of the meaning of a purple butterfly on an isolate. It means the baby had a sibling that passed away.
A mom had twins and lost one. She found it hard to cope with all the well wishes for her living child and no one understood her sadness. So she came up with a way for people to know that the baby with a purple butterfly had lost a sibling. That way people could understand the sadness and the joy were all one.
Sending much love to all of you.
They had a purple butterfly on our door. Yes, so many emotions. I am grateful when nurses ask about Maggie and we can talk.
What a beautiful way to celebrate the lost sibling 🇨🇦♥️
That’s beautiful
That`s beautiful and i`m sure it brings comfort to so many mum`s who have been where Lauren is now.xxx
What a nice surprise to see you, Lauren. You look great despite your over-busy life right now. I am so happy to hear that Violet is doing well and growing. I can't wait to watch her grow up. You are blessed with an amazing husband, parents and children.
I cannot tell you how great and wonderful it was to see you and your smiling face . Thank you for being you ! You have a special place in my heart always . You made my day .
I know you are incredibly busy now and am truly grateful for the time it took to update us on precious Baby Vi. She is absolutely gorgeous! Many blessings to your entire family.
We are praying for sweet Violet and that she will be home with the family being loved by all her big brothers really soon. 💜
😊😊
Maybe some of the clothes or other things that you have duplicates of or that you may not like or have too many of you could give out to some of the other nicu babies
Theres a woman in Alaska that requested Christmas cards from Home Free Alaska to recycle to Veterans in nursing homes. I HOPE SHE CONTACTS YOU!! LOVE &PRAYER ☦️ Nurse Judi In Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister 🙏🏻
Make sure all of your family gets the RSV vaccine. Including anyone who may be babysitting aka grandma and grandpa. The RSV vaccine is recommended for everyone. I'm vaccinated and I'm about your parent's age
I’m so happy about Violet. She’s beautiful and precious. I thank the Lord Jesus Christ for laying his hands on Violet . Jesus is with her and she going to be just fine. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🩷🩷
So relieved to hear sweet Violet is growing. Please take time for yourself and rest. ❤️☀️🤗💜
I’ve so enjoyed watching you open your presents it’s so like Christmas ❤
Hi Lauren my name is claresia I'm from Jamaica congratulations on your baby girl she's very beautiful love and blessing all the way God bless you
Our granddaughter, Angel, was born 3 months premature, weight 2lbs, and she was also born on December 19, she spent a month in the NICU and we got to bring her home at 4lbs.
That was 25 years ago and she is now a beautiful young lady that teaches 8th grade English.
Bless your beautiful young family
Yes, we are all truly BLESSED!!
Love you guys ❤️
She will have 4brothers protecting her.they wont let her out of their sight.my granddaugher is the only girl out of 4 children that my daughter has.my other granddaughter is special needs.she is my oldest daughters daughter.i had 8 grandchilren now i only have 7 .one of my grandsons was in an accident.he was a premmie when he was born.
I am praying I was born 6wks old early 49ers ago and I weighed 2pounds 2oz
I have a granddaughter who was a premmie, she weighed just over 1 pound when born, she is now 23years old.
You are perfect except in giving haircuts. Bennett is ready for a ride to the barber. He looks like a super bowl refugee.
Lauren, the flowers in the picture with the cardinals, are Magnolias 🌺
Violet is beautiful. Is it true that 6 months are dark and 6 months stay dark? I’ve heard that but I wanted to Sk❤ 🙏
Accidentally deleted my previous post for this vlog.
When I was a teenager, there was fundraising for the premature infant medical and it was one more thing to scare me away from just having a baby
Oh Lauren you should take some books to the hospital and read them to miss Violet. So if you run out of things to say she can still hear your voice while you read to her
I bought the i love you to the moon and back book for my twins that had TTTTS 💙💙
So glad baby Violet is gaining weight❤ sending lots of love❤🇬🇧
Just found your channel, god bless you! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
So good to hear Violet is doing well. Sending prayers that she gains the weight she needs to come home. Thank you for keeping us updated. Rest up momma and take care. Love you all from Cape Cod Massachusetts ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Praying for you and your family 🙏🏻💖💙💙💙💙💙💜🙏🏻
Baby Shark with GAP onesies, the lady I worked with at my previous job said her grandson started talking and calls her "Baby Shark", and I just got some GAP tee shirts last week
How did I respond to Baby Shark at work? I said that song is very popular, they play it at professional sports games
Aussie animals all look cute but can rip you open if not careful.
If you receive too much stuff, do you donate it to church? 🙏🏻
Prayer for Miss Violet so she come home to all her big brothers ! And of course spoil her. Love you all.
I put my star paper for the star in a frame and it's on my wall
Bennett looks just like his Dad:)😊 you received lots of beautiful and thoughtful gifts! Your family is so loved. Continued prayers for Violet and your family!
Good evening from Australia 🇦🇺! It just hit 12:03 in the morning over here xox
Lauren , Godbless your beautiful family & precious baby Violet & your sleeping angel Maggie...
Lovely to see your beautiful face today & Luna.. We always need to trust in our faith ..Maggie was too precious for this world and God chose her to stay with him as a beautiful Angel.. 🙏
In the rolled up picture of the cardinals, they are perched in a Magnolia tree. Sweet
Thank you! I realized that after looking at it again. So sweet. I can't wait to get frames for all the beautiful artwork we have been sent.
I'm a Koala and Sloth Lover but also Pandas and Marmaset Monkeys I also Love Butterflies, Hummingbirds, Dragonflies and Peacocks and Lighting Bugs and Ladybugs .All of God's Creations
Good Afternoon Hamm Family. I'm slowly catching up on videos... cup of tea in hand. It's turned from a blah morning to a beautiful afternoon here in Virginia. I pray you're enjoying your Saturday afternoon ❤️
I'm so happy to hear how well Baby Violet has been doing. She's a tiny, precious package of beautiful blessings. I know she's finally home and I'm eager to see how wonderfully she fits into your new Family dynamic. What a beautiful necklace - it's design and meaning are priceless 🥰
Hi Miss Luna and Grandma (and Grandpa)... thank you for the blessings you are 💞
Mark is truly an amazing Husband and Father. Like I always say regarding my Mark - he needs to be knighted and given saint status. A favorite quote: "My Husband promised to love me in sickness and in health; he's kept that promise." ~ Unknown 👩❤️👨
What beautiful Cardinal Artwork. Both are so thoughtful and heartfelt. Our Cardinals have returned in full force, along with their Birdy buddies. I always feel my Dad's presence when I hear the birds singing; moreso when my memorial wind chimes join the singing; and even moreso when the chimes sing and a Cardinal perches itself in the window 🕊️
I absolutely love the star registry. What an awesome gift, a forever gift. Time to buy a telescope. Magnolia will always be a guiding light watching over you 💫
So many beautiful gifts from a community of awesome people. Thank you for helping your Mom Bennett and hi Miss Luna. Take a deep breath Lauren. You are so blessed. Y'all seem to be handling your new Family day to day dynamic wonderfully. Have a great weekend. Yah's Blessings 🤗
Well...this was fun!
Hi Lauren, since you are talking about breast feeding & pumping, it made me think of a tip my mother of 9 children shared with me when I had my first child, a tip on making rich breast milk by taking alphalfa tablets/capsules &/or Brewers Yeast. May help Violet gain more weight, idk, but it does help you have a great milk supply & help to make rich milk. Happy to hear Violet is slowly gaining weight, this tip may help to speed up the process. 💜
My heart breaks for you. My son and daughter in law had twin boys in june, 13 weeks early. They had TTTS with surgery at 17 weeks. Fortunately they made it 10 more weeks to 27 week. They were in the nicu for 91 and 123 days respectively. I pray your daughter continues to grow and thrive.
1,000 Christmas cards…who knows that many people. Don’t know how much postage is there but that has to cost no less that $1,000 that’s crazy!
You’ll have to get a special pen and write each girls name and birthdate on the soles of those booties ♥️🇨🇦♥️
When my daughter Jessica was born sleeping my counselor suggested I set up a memorial table and place a box with a log on it so my husband and I could write letters to her and put them in it. I will say that helped us tremendously.
I’m so sorry for your loss. 💜 Thank you for the beautiful idea
Good morning, Laure. Thank you for sharing your wonderful family 😊❤
Hi Lauren I have being following your vlog for a little while now, congrats on the birth of baby Violet and so sorry about baby Maggie. You are an amazing lady, mother and wife. My mum found out she was pregnant at 23 weeks (as she was told she would never be able to have children) and I was born at 28 weeks weighing 2 and a half lbs and dropped to 2lb straight away. I am now 59 year old and she was told by the doctor that girls are fighters more than boys. Back then when the mother was discharged from the maternity ward they could not go back and visit or see the baby until the baby was discharged home. I was kept in hospital for the first 3 months, but all worked out and I survived and she went on to have another baby girl seven years later. She used to say that they told her second baby was going to be small and she asked what size and they said between 6 and 7 pounds, she smiled and said that very big the one at home was only 2lb. Best of luck and I pray that Violet continues to put on the weight. Love Ina from Ireland
Love u Lauren and your family but one hour is to long sorry please make 2 videos next time could not wait to see u and baby ♥️❤️🧸👶🏼🍼
I’m so excited for this post. Beautiful violet. ❤️
We call my oldest daughter Peanut 😊❤ she lost over a lbs after birth and was such a cute tiny little peanut at 6lb 14.5z (36wks gestational)... (got down to 5lb something) Then we had a full term chubby from the start 9lb baby girl❤ ... but our last was born right on the 1st day of my 31st week gestational date❤ 3lb 12oz, 16inches... we call her RooRoo for Kangaroo ☺️ she was so hyper in my womb and at the NICU lol. Kicking like crazy with those tiny little scrawny legs at 3lb 1oz. ❤

The Fun thing about Violet is that she is a rainbow baby and her name is one of the colors of the rainbow!!! Most parents have to wait a year or two to have their rainbow baby after the loss of one baby but you and mark got your rainbow baby the next day and on Boxing Day as well!!!
Thank you to mom and dad for surrounding the family with love and comfort. Blessings from Wisconsin. DONN@

Peps Pig came out when my granddaughter was 3 months old, she’s almost 7, and she still loves Pepa( she told me that she doesn’t tell her frisée still watches it though) I just laugh every time I think of her telling me that. But Miss Violet may be a Pepa lover as well. Even I like Pepa! 😉
