Welcome Sophie Joy

You might remember that I mentioned a few months ago that I was living vicariously through my best friend, Sheyna. She was expecting a baby girl, who I have been calling my "Joy" baby. Well today, my sweet little Sophie Joy entered the world.

Sheyna had a c-section this morning and at 7:51 AM, and Sophie made her debut weighing...

wait for it, ya'll.....

ELEVEN pounds, THIRTEEN ounces.

Oh yes.

You may now give Sheyna a standing ovation for carrying a baby that big.

She wasn't kidding when she told us that she was feeling a little bit of pressure!!

I got to take pictures of this sweet new baby in the first hours of her life. Want to see?


















Welcome to our world, Sophie Joy.

Get ready to be spoiled by Aunt Amber, sweetheart. Because you've already won my heart.

LOL!!! What a chunk and beauty! I love baby chunk. I told my husband just the other day that some people deliver babies as big as our 1-month-old and his eyes got huge. I think this little one is bigger than she is right now, too. Nothing wrong with that! She's very precious!!!
