Sophia Arrives!

Well in true Myers still, Sophia made her grand enterance a week earlier then planned. Mommy's blood pressure continued to be high after a few days and the doctors decided that she was mature enough so she came into the world at 36 weeks and 2 days. She is still considered a preemie, but did not need any help after birth. She was born on Thursday, November 13 at 6:54 pm via c-section. She weighs 5 lbs 13 oz and is 18 inches long. She has been eating well is just starting to adjust to live at our house.



Brie seems to love her little sister and likes to sit and watch her move. This morning when she realized that Sophie was home she sat on the edge of the bed and watched her sleep for almost a half hour. I think she is going to be a good big sister. She does not like to hear Sophie cry and tends to cry along with her, but luckily Sophie does not cry much. Brie does have a little cold that we are hoping she does not share with her new sister. Hopefully mommy is giving little Sophie the antibodies she needs so she does not get sick.

Congratulations! She is adorable! I bet it was a wonderful feeling to bring the baby home with you! BTW, what is Sophia's middle name? I didn't see it, but maybe I over-looked it.
