Well, I am a little behind on posting this. But our little girl arrived on Monday Sept 13, 2010 at 5:40am. After 17 hours of active labor :( She weighed 8 lbs and 11 oz. That was a little bigger than I was expecting but not too far off. I am glad she was 5 days early though because she would have only gotten bigger!
She is doing great and she loves to wake her mommy up a couple times a night. We are adjusting to the lack of sleep but it makes it a little hard when I find it impossible to sleep during the day. I have always had a hard time napping in the day and I still find it hard even with a lack of sleep at night. I am sure it will catch up to me soon.
So my labor story isn't too exciting. I didn't have anything crazy happen, just that it was long. My water broke Sunday morning at 8:30, right after Chad said " you know, if your water broke this morning I wouldn't have to teach priesthood"...10 minutes later he got his wish. I thought she would make an appearance that day but she held on till Monday morning.
I got an epidural, which when I asked for one, I got one in about 5 minutes. So labor was hard but not brutal. I have to say I would give birth again no problem, but being pregnant is the worst thing I have ever experienced!
Anyway we are loving having a baby in our home. Chad and I keep saying to each other that we cant believe she is ours. We think she is cute! She looks a little like both of us so it should be interesting to watch her features change over time.
Here are some pictures of Sophie.

She is an absolute doll!! Congratulations to you and Chad!! I agree with you...labour I can do...pregnancy is thumbs down!
She's such a sweetie!!! Soak up the time when she's little it really does go by crazy fast. Soo happy for you.
She is beautiful, congratulations. Enjoy motherhood you'll do great. Sleeping does get easier for you both.
Congratulations!! I have to say myself that being pregnant was WONDERFUL both times and labor, especially baby #2, was quite scarring! Especially when you have an idea of what to expect the second time round...
...but you have a beautiful little girl and I know you two will do fabulous!
Congratulations! She is so cute. I totally agree with the pregnancy/ labor issue. I wish having kids didn't involve any of that nonsense. It's just not right.
She sure is a cutie...congrats
what a peach! i love her. and it looks as though she already has a darling little wardrobe! nicely done! :)
What a well dressed baby. I'm sad I didn't get to officially meet her last Sunday... keep her small so when I meet her in a couple weeks she is still fresh new baby for me :) congrats!!
