Sophie Marie

My brother Tracy and his wife became Mom and Dad this morning!! Tracy and Hanna are currently living out west while my brother is getting is Masters in Accounting, so we couldn't be there for the event, but we share in their excitement today.

Hanna was scheduled for a C-section for March 25th, but the little one decided she was coming on her own time frame. Hanna's water broke this morning at about 8:00 and Sophie Marie was lifted into this world at 11:38 AM (EST).

She was a whopping 6 pounds, 14.9 ounces (little baby!) and 18.5 inches long. Mother, Father and Baby are all doing well. We wish we could be there to help, but medical school requires our attention for the moment. Hopefully this summer we can all get together and celebrate!


All I know is that someone is going to have to let this little princess know how silly her dad can be! Although, I have a feeling she is going to wrap him around her tiny little fingers pretty quickly. My mom will be traveling out to stay with them-- as Hanna is going to need a lot of help after having a C-section. Hanna's mother works for the public school system so she will be heading out there in June when the school year ends.

And so our family continues to grow... this is the third grandchild for my parents in 12 weeks!

PS- We just talked to Tracy on Skype and Sophie is totally too cute! She already has a pink bow in her hair :) That girl is going to be trouble!
