Barney, I mean Payton

This is sort of a random post and actually sort of gross, but whatever. I was talking to some friends last night about Payton's birth and I was telling them how purple Payton was when she was born.
I mean really purple, as in she resembled Barney. Sort of.

See?! I told you she was purple! Crazy, eh?

  1. WOW! She was purple. Even her finger nails are purple. What was the reason for such a vibrant color?

  2. That's how Kate looked but she wasn't breathing at birth. They had to bag her :(. Payton is adorable! I just love newborns :)

  6. Wow...that's purple!

    And a side note, I just had to point out your "eh". Being Canadian, I get bugged about that ALOT. I don't think I say it, but apparently I do. But look, you're not Canadian (or are you?) and you're saying it! I should point this out to my American cousin and tell her that it's not just us that say it!

  12. How old is Bethany? Is she your newest? She is purple but still adorable huh? :) Did she pink up quickly?

    I'm visiting from my porch party. Thanks for linking up. I enjoyed walking through your world over here. Your children are precious and your pictures are stunning.

    Have a lovely weekend.

  13. Did she have to have heart surgery?

  14. Nope, no heart surgery. She just wasn't breathing. They told me my placenta was as good as dead, so I really wonder how long she was like that in utero. Stillbirth rate is increased in pregnancies with babies that have DS ... I honestly think that is where we were headed had she not been born. And to think they were trying to send me home. I demanded since I was there that they get my OB and break my water. I was already 6cm, after all.
