This photo was taken by her proud Grandma when she was exactly one week old. But she made her debut on Friday, January 21, 2011 at 2:34pm,
weighing in at 6 lbs. 15 oz. and 19 inches long.
Her mommy was so relieved to hold her after nine long months,
and she is so loved by her proud Daddy and big sister.
So, if are you wondering why Dan's donning that sexy mask - he had the flu. He got it the day before Ana was born, which stressed me out beyond belief and made him feel not just sick and miserable, but sad and worried too. Luckily, we caught it in time and we were both so relieved that he could be there with me during the C-section to witness the birth of our second daughter.
Here's video of the first time Sofia got to see her. She celebrates around the one minute mark by eating a booger. I'm not kidding - but wish I was!
Lots of other family were there to welcome her as well. Thankfully, her Tia Emily was in town and able to accompany me to the hospital until Dan felt well enough to join us.
Grandma, Tio Louis and Emi were all on hand to meet her too.
She's two weeks old today and we've been home and enjoying every minute of this new little creature. She's eating well and every one is getting along great. I've felt progressively better with each day but have had lots of help from Daddy and Grandma and have yet to feel just what life will be like juggling these two little ones but I think we'll be just fine.
We've had lots of people come to visit. She finally got to meet her Bobo and Tio Louis came back to visit again.
Our friends Mel and Dee came by to see her,
and so did our friends Kendra and Bryant (who are having their own little baby girl any day now) which Sofia loved because they brought Ella!
Aunt Betty also came by but I somehow didn't get a picture of her. My former boss, Michael Strickland came by to meet her, as did Liuda and Gustavo. Sofia loved seeing Gustavo especially as he brought his harmonica and they played a little duet.
Besides feeding and changing diapers the rest of our time has been spent playing with Sofia and loving on our newest addition
snuggling in bed, reading stories
and trying on hats and bows.
We even took her on a short little walk one day before the ice storm blew in.
And taking lots of pictures. Even Sofia ran to get her camera out!
We are beyond happy and oh so blessed!
