it's four weeks today since sophia's arrival. the things i've learned about sophia so far are:
-she HATES to be naked. if you're changing a diaper, changing her clothes or giving her a bath, she screams like there's no tomorrow...the entire time.
-she loves her pacifier. that's new to me since my other two could care less. but she loves them.
-she likes to be snuggly. she gets papoosed at night and sleeps like a champ. she gets wrapped up in a soft blanket during the day and she goes out. comfort is key to sophia.
i've noticed a significant change in her today, it is her birthday after all (it is only 10:30, but hey, it was significant). she stayed awake for almost an hour today after eating, and didn't fuss. she was bright eyed and loved getting a change of scenery. even looking at the transformers that brother was playing with.
she has completed our family, bringing a sense of finality and peace. even though we're tired and still adjusting, matt and i have commented several times how nice it is to have her here and to know all the members of our family.

i love the line, "how nice it is to have her here and to know all the members of our family."
i was thinking the other morning how good it must feel to be done with the pregnancy phase of your life (as wonderful as certain parts of it are) and onto the stage of watching them all grow up together. they are all here! all the little players in the godshall family drama! you will live all of life's high's and low's together. can't wait to get to know little sophia for myself... she looks like such a lovey girl!
you are so blessed!
such a GREAT update...love the details and the transparency.
When you're getting more sleep, I'd really like you to consider facebook!
It's not complete without you. :)
amen.
What a beautiful little girl! I agree; you really need to get on Facebook. We all miss you not being there!
Love, Aunt Sandi :)
No to Facebook!!!!!
Your blog takes me to a calm and peaceful place. Whenever I need to smile and relax I click on your link and re-read past blogs if you haven't posted anything new.
Love the new family!!!!
Makes me want to visit Kentucky.
Wow! I can't believe I said that.
Love,
Aunt Lydia
