Sophia is here!

A bit more personal news... Most of you know by now that Katie has been pregnant for a quite a while. Her due date was December 3rd, and although she had signs of labor on the 3rd, the day came and went with no new baby. After much waiting, we went in to have the baby on Thursday morning. Things progress very quickly and it wasn't too long after Katie felt her first strong contractions that Sophia jumped out. I say jumped quite literally as the doctor actually did have to catch her (too much excitement for all of us)! Katie did an amazing job during delivery, and now we have a beautiful little girl named Sophia to introduce to everyone! She is a happy healthy baby! Katie was working hard! Mother and daughter together for the first time! Katie's family holding Sophia for the first time. My parents holding their new granddaughter for the first time. Tyler impressed us all with his love for his little sister with a little kiss on her cheek. Shortly after her first bath, Sophia enjoyed her first snooze (I taught her that). Now it's time for some much needed rest! We thank you all for your kind thoughts and prayers and promise more photos soon!
