Out of the cold......


HELLO EVERYONE!!!!!


First of all, so sorry for the incredibly long delay in posting, but every minute of my life has been consumed with diapers, bottles, playtime and listening to a baby monitor for any signs of unhappiness. Life has been pretty sweet for the past few months since our girl came home.


We've been trapped in the the house all winter, avoiding RSV ( a virus that can make preemies really really sick) which means the only places Sophie was allowed to go were to her medical appointments and to grandmas houses. It's been tough not going anywhere, but so nice to be able to spend so much time with our beautiful girl.


For Easter, I made her a little fuzzy chicken sweater and some little felt shoes to wear to the party at Grandma's.


She looked so cute. She always looks so cute to us. We are absolutely in love with her.

She is doing so well health wise. At her last doctor's appointment she weighed in at 7lbs 3.5oz, but I'm pretty sure she has hit the 8lb mark now. She eats really well and sleeps so good....we are so fortunate. She has been sleeping from about 8 at night to 3 in the morning and then a bottle and back to bed till 8 in the morning. It took some time to get into a routine but now we all operate like a well oiled Sophie care machine.

Once Sophie came home we realized how many people were so truly touched by our experience. Sophie's (second) cousin in T.O even wrote her school speech about her! She got an A+! Way to go Madeline! I am so touched that her young cousins think she's pretty special.

Life is so busy now, but I'm going to make more of an effort to update more often...so keep checking up. I really find that the writing is therapeutic, and I love to hear from everyone. Thanks!

She is so beautiful. We have been checking Sopie's site - I am glad you have found time to up-date us. For such a little girl she has a whole world of friends (and relatives) looking in on her.

I am glad to see updated pictures of your precious little one! She is so amazing - just like her parents! I'm sure that there were times that an 8 lb baby must have seemed an impossibility, but there is obviously no stopping her now! Thanks for sharing your joy with the rest of us!

Love Cousin April

How wonderful to be back in the Sophie Loop!! - and what an absolute doll in her Easter outfit!! I have a feeling our little Sophie will continue to greet each season and special occasion with style!
It's wonderful to hear you have come out of the whirlwind of the past 6 months and can now settle into the (somewhat) less hectic blustery weather of family life.
Love to all Cousin Sandra
