Sofia Edie - July 6, 2012

            This was me the morning of July 6, 2012! Still very pregnant. I had a doctor's appointment later on that afternoon, where the doctor told me she expected I would go into labor any time within the next few days... little did she know...

...I started having contractions after the doctor visit, and they became much stronger around 5 pm that evening, so we headed to the hospital's Triage department, where...I was monitored for about a half hour and then told I could either return home, or walk around for two hours to see if I progress further.... so we walked... and walked... and ate some dinner... and then walked, well, tried to walk, but the contractions were getting so intense that I could barely move and we headed back up to Triage... me in tears, and Seth trying to keep his composure as it seemed to take FOREVER for them to get me up to the Labor & Delivery rooms... finally I was taken to a room around 9 pm & got an epidural (which was pretty painful & is the part I looked forward to the least)... then after an hour and a half or so, I progressed to about 8 cm and they called for the doctor... she came and decided to break my waters and I began pushing soon after... it didn't take very long...and Sofia Edie was born into this world on her expected due date... 6 hours total... from contractions to birth... much shorter than my 18 hour birth with Suri....and here she is -

 We are enjoying every day with our new little bundle of joy! Suri likes to watch her all the time and wants to hold her whenever she can. She does pretty well being gentle with her, but sometimes can be a little rough... but what can you expect from an almost two year old! She gives her kisses and calls her baby...it's super sweet & I know that they will be great friends once they're both older! We're slowly adjusting to our little family of four, and feel extremely blessed for what God has given us in these two amazing little girls!
Let the new adventures begin...
