Welcome to our family, sweet Sophie!

One week and an hour ago, I had just given birth to this beautiful creature. I felt great, and I can't wait to tell the birth story... it's kind of like a scene out of a movie - rather dramatic! But for now, I want to share some pictures from this past week.
These two pictures were taken about an hour after birth:
24 hours later: Here is Weston's new favorite past time: holding his little sister and giving her kisses Who can blame him? It's pretty much impossible not to love this bundle of goodness!
As for Weston, he has spent a lot of time outside playing - mostly digging in the dirt.
I love his expression here - like he's surveying a very important project.This is the funny little grin he flashed when I asked him to smile at the camera. What a silly kid. I love him! Sophie's ready to eat, which means this blog post must come to an end, but stay tuned for the birth story and many more pictures to come!!

OH!!!!!!!!!! I love that she was still curled up in that one picture just as she was inside you! I can't get enough of that new kitten smell the newborns have before they've had their first REAL bath. Congrats, she is adorable and I'm glad s he is here safe and sound. Isn't it so funny to look at TWO little faces now? P.s. I think it is ironic the word verification for this comment was "ovaryn"
