sophia hope

as i type i have a bundle of tightly wrapped pinkness at my side.

thank you for your prayers. everything went fantastically. not one hiccup. and i can honestly say that sophia's birth was peaceful and joy filled. thank you for your prayers! the LORD is faithful.

stats: our smallest! 9lbs 8 oz. 20 inches long. (i get a newborn stage!) born at 12:43pm with jet black hair.

i'll let the pictures do the talking even though there is so much to say.


taken as we were leaving for the hospital

if i didn't KNOW it was sophia, i would think it was isaiah.

We can hardly believe she is already here. My kids still picture Alaythia as a baby girl.

Congratulations to you all!
