A Long Overdue Update (warning: photo overload)

Hello, and happy Sunday! Wow - so sorry for my MONTH long disappearance. As you may have guessed, I've been completely preoccupied with the arrival of my baby girl; we have been enjoying every minute as a 'family of 3.' Everything is finally starting to slow down, and we are getting into the swing of things.

My parents made the trip to CA on Sophia's birth-day (my due date!), and my mom stayed for 3 weeks (thank you, Jesus!). She was a gigantic help with everything from laundry to nursing - thanks, Mom! ;)

Sophia's entrance into the world was drama-free, and surprisingly much easier than I had anticipated. My total labor lasted only 10 hours, and no complications for anyone meant we couldn't have asked for anything better. Our little heavyweight champ came into this world at 8 lbs 10 oz and 22 inches long! I was in complete shock that she came on her due date - I thought for sure I'd end up getting induced. "This is the first time you've actually been on time for an event!" - my husband's (sad, but true) joke. Let me tell you, it's even more difficult to be on time when you have to get a baby and yourself ready -- something I definitely need to work on! And now...time for photo overload.

  1. I LOVE all the photos. I love the stroller, thats very pretty & my favorite icecream is the ben & jerrys strawberry cheesecake, I can't get enough, especially when I was pregnant. Our little ones are around the same age, mine was born August 8 :).
