Welcome to our world Sophia Ann!!!!

My friend Heather gave birth to their baby girl this morning at 8:14am.

Sophia Ann
6 lbs. 2 oz.
19 3/4 inches

Sophia is in the NICU receiving some oxygen and IV antibiotic. They say she is doing really well. She had great coloring at birth. They will monitor her in the NICU just to make sure she is gaining the strength she needs. Heather did a great job, but is now in pain from the surgery. Please pray for both of them today! And praise Jesus, that He answered our prayers by giving little Sophia the extra weight she needs. What an amazing answer to our specific prayers! (when they did the ultrasound on her a couple days ago, they thought she was only about 4 1/2 lbs.--I am glad our God delights in answering our specific prayers!!!!)

Heth, I am so proud of you!!!!!! You did it...you beat me!!!!!! ;)

OK, my heart stopped when I saw that a baby had been born, because I thought it was for YOU, and that you had found a birthmom named Heather! I hadn't seen the previous post, obviously. LOL That would explain why the tone was happy, yet still fairly calm. My heart is still racing!! Jill

Oh bless your heart, Jill!!!! I did consider that it might sound like our adoption journey...but I was hoping that people would connect the two posts.

When I post...you will see a gazillion exclamation marks, trust me!!! :)

(I'll pm you) ;)

Thanks for the update...I have been wondering how all went with Heather today!!! That is awesome that she and baby are both doing well...and that Sophia was bigger than they thought! Tell Heather "congrats" from me! :-)

I wasn't paying attention the other day when I checked your blog & saw this post. Just thought I'd admit that at first, from a glance, I thought maybe you "had" your baby!! I am still happy for your friend Heather though :=)
