Sophia's 1 Week Birthday






Happy Birthday, Sophie!! Today is already her 1 week birthday. We can't believe how much she's grown and how fast the past week has gone. We sang Happy Birthday to her this morning and have been so happy all day to celebrate her first week of life. She is such a big girl and slept really well again last night. Jim got her calmed down after she was really fussy and then she slept from about 12 to 3am and then again from 4:30 or so until about 7:30 am. We are so impressed!

She is doing really well and had her 1 week check-up today. We are so happy and excited that she has already gained back most of her birth weight. She is back up to 7 lbs, 12 ounces already! Dr. Soppas was really pleased and of course so are we. So, she's obviously eating plenty and gaining weight and growing like a champ. Today was also a big day because Sophie had her first shopping outing - after the pediatrician's visit, we took her to Babies R Us to get some additional provisions (namely, more swaddle me blankets).

Finally, we had a videoconference with her Grandpa and Grandma MacDougall in South Carolina. They'll be coming up in mid-April for a nice long visit but we were able to do a videoconference so they could get a sneak preview now.

What a week it's been... Happy 1 Week Birthday Sophia Girl! We love you!

Happy 1 wk Birthday ! Sophia
I'm so happy you are growing strong. Don't grow up too much before Grandpa and I get there. Letting mom and dad get some sleep is a good thing. See you soon.
Love to you 3,
Grandma Kathy
