Pure Joy Is.....

THIS. (Sophie about 3 days old)AND THIS....sleeping beauty.
And Seeing This....

And the Love From Family....
And endless entertainment!
AND.....that clean baby smell! OH my!

Can you tell we're enjoying our little Sophie? It's hard to imagine the depth of love until you have a child, right? Sophie is absolutely the world's best baby (sorry other moms!! Mine's the winner! : ) ). She cries only when she's hungry. She sleeps peacefully. She nurses less like a baracuda now, and more like a gourmet eater - stopping to taste and lick her lips. Slowly eating.....making those cooing noises that are WONDERFUL! She's just joy. Simply JOY!

I'll post later about my past experiences this past weekend in the Labor & Deliver room again getting ANOTHER blood patch from migraines that came back after the botched epidural and the first blood patch that didn't work. Not fun. I now know what you should do if you're ever in that situation. Just call me Dr. Flo. Oh.....and over the course of my 3 spinal injections, I've met what I consider to be the 3 types of anesthesiologists. 1)The wise old owl 2) the mid-life "I'm THE MAN" and the 3) the young upstart who still has compassion. You definitely want 1 or 3, but definitley NOT #2). Like I said, I'll post later about it!

Bible Journey: Seriously? Give me a few more days! : )

Your baby is gorgeous. I am sorry you are still having reprecusions from the epidural! We had our hospital visit today where they tell you everything that will happen to you from the time you walk in the door until you leave. I am so overwhelmed!

Give Grace Jr. kisses for me! Looks like everyone is having a blast at Mimi's. Can't wait to visit.

Oh....TOTAL PRECIOUSNESS! She has such pretty skin...and hair...and everything! ;o)

I'm SO sorry to hear about having to have TWO blood patches! My girlfriend had that happen, and she was in a lot of pain. I'm so sorry to hear that!
