It's a Girl!

Welcome to the world
Sophia Colette Nourse!
Sophia Colette was born this morning at 3:12am, weighing 6lbs 13oz and measuring 20.25 inches long.
She has dark fuzz all over her head and dark eyes.
In the time that it took me to call people at 4am and tell them the news, Jared called Richard BACK and said, "Come now!" So we jumped in the car and went off to meet the little Sweet Pea.
Naomi said Sophia didn't cry when she was born, but just made some noises. By the time we got there, she was trying out her lungs and sucking on her fists. I'm exhausted and dreading the work day now, but it was WELL worth it.
Naomi, Jared and Sophia are all doing very well, though very tired.
It was so wonderful to meet the baby. I pray that the Lord will bless her and that she will grow up to be a gentle and Godly woman, wife and mother.
God bless you, little girl. We've been waiting for you!


I was only able to get one photo before my camera died.
If I get over there later today, I will post more pics.

Erin, you look like you know just what you're doing with that baby in your arms.

Baby is beautiful, the name they have chosen to give her is beautiful. Sophia, welcome to the world!
