Hello World!

Whoa, friends. What a ride I just had. Let me tell you, it wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. I thought I'd prance right into this world and into my mother's arms. No-sir-ee. It took a while. Just ask all my grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins that were in the waiting room for hours. But eventually I came out!

And I sure am glad I did. It was pretty scary leaving my warm home and coming into this one, but when I was put in my mother's arms it was worth it. Then the nurses took me away and cleaned me up. No sooner had I been given back to my mother than in came the rush!

First I got to meet my grandparents. They are so wonderful! And those grandmas kept saying wonderful things about me. Like "She's absolutely beautiful!" and "How precious!" I can tell how much they love me.

Next were the aunts, uncles, counsins, and Pete. They loved on me just the same. It was wonderful. I kept my pretty eyes open the whole time so I could see my new family.

Now, I'm going to wait for Dr. Baysa, my pediatrician, to come check me out and then we can go home. I can't wait to see it. Daddy tells me it's wonderful and Mommy showed me pictures of the nursery.

Love,

Sophie

P.S. I'll share pictures of the rest of my friends and family visiting a little later.
