Ahead of the Crowd


Sophie went for her one-month check up on Friday and we found out she is in the 95th percentile for her weight (11.4 lbs) and 80th for her height (22 inches). Chris and I are so proud of her and the way she is growing and just so thankful that God has made her such a healthy little girl. The concerns about her abnormal heartbeat seem to be behind us, although we are due to go to the cardiology clinic at Children's Hospital this coming Monday so they can check her out again. We will be glad to get the "all-clear." Little Sophie has had a busy and full first 5 weeks of life and she seems to be enjoying every minute. We have been so encouraged by everyone's kind words, visits, gifts, cards and emails. Thanks you!! Chris and I are completely enamored with her. To be honest, we are still having trouble believing this beautiful baby is really ours! Despite the busyness of the past several weeks, we have all sorts of plans in the works for the summer. The whole family is feeling very excited about our trip to home to Hawaii in just a few weeks as well as our trip back to the Midwest in July. Not to mention all the wonderful friends coming to visit! This coming Sunday, Chris and I will be be celebrating our 7th anniversary. We are looking forward to a night out, just the two of us, and a chance to reflect on the last few weeks. I love him so much!! When we were married 7 years ago, we really had no idea where we would be now, but we committed to loving one another no matter what. Looking back, I am so thankful for what God has given us throughout the years and how He has strengthened our friendship, our committment and our marriage. And now, we have Sophie! What better gift could there be?
