She's here! She's here!

Baby Sophia Marie Smith was born on August 29th, 2008 in the wee hours of the night (morning) at 12:54am. Labor was eventful and an experience I have never encountered even though this was baby number two. She had her own plan for arrival and although it strained my overall tolerance for pain it was quick.

Just over 6.5 pounds and still growing into her skin Sophia is already a night owl....that's how she came into the world too. She eats well and sleeps hard during the day. Already seeming like a content baby we're praying her gentle spirit continues, but prepared for whatever the Lord wills.

She initially didn't appear to look at all like Daniel and actually seemed to resemble my sister as an infant. So the breakdown from what we can tell now is that she has Adam's toes, Amelia's eyes, somebody's ridiculously long fingers....that's all we can tell.

Daniel is adjusting well it seems. He's deffinitely felt the change in attention or at least the need ot be more careful around the house now that there's a little baby here. He loves to hug and kiss Sophia and unfortunately poke her eyes.

We're all doing well and adjusting to this new life, but glad to be onto this next exciting phase of life. Praise God for a healthy baby girl and so far easy post-partum. Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers.
