SOFIE MADE IT!!!

Well, after a much anticipated arrival, she made it! Sofie really put me through a work out. After a good three and half hours of pushing and about 19 hours of "labor" I was thrilled when she finally made it to my arms.

Sofia Addison Allen-

born March 5, 2008 11:17 am

8 lbs. 1 oz

20" long and cute as can be!

Words cannot describe the feeling of giving birth. I had all of these emotions rushing through my body...and then the final pay off! I worked so hard and being able to get over the pain and see this warm little body was amazing!

Here is Sofia getting her very first sponge bath.

Here is daddy and his little pumpkin.

While in the hospital, Sofia developed a case of Jaundice. She was taken to the nursery and put under UV lights and Nick and I were only allowed in every three hours for her feeding.

In this picture you can see that her complexion turned very yellowish. The two dots on the side of here head are velcro and were used to hold in place protective eye glasses. While she was under the lights.

Nick loved getting the chance to sit and feed her, even if it was just for half an hour.

After three days in the hospital, Nick and I were able to take our little baby girl home.

Here is Sofia coming home!
