Well I haven't exactly kept up my posts...even now that I'm home, these last 2 months have just flown by!
Sophie Diana Potvin was born May 20, at 12:40 am. She weighed a whopping 6 lbs 3oz! The delivery didn't go quite as expected. First I was induced, then I ended up having a c-section. It wasn't what I'd imagined or wanted and therefore was pretty disappointing, but Harmel and I were very blessed with a beautiful, healthy baby girl.
Sophie has been a great baby so far, we haven't had any major concerns other than her weight (she just recently grew out of preemie clothes). She cries when she's hungry or wants attention, but other than that she's fairly content, at least I think so. I guess I don't really have anything to compare it to as she's our first.
Every day Sophie does something new and different. Her first smile was amazing. Harmel still talks about it. She doesn't really giggle yet, but I can tell she's trying! There is a voice in that cute little body. It's great having a girl, but also very expensive. I don't think I'd like to have another girl, there are too many cute clothes out there for them.
I am enjoying every minute of being a stay at home Mom. It does take some getting used to though. I thought I'd have a lot more time to do things, it took me about 2 hours to fold a load of laundry at the beginning. I've learned to adjust and having Harmel work 4 days on and 4 days off has helped a lot. Harmel is an amazing dad and is so involved in everything from changing diapers to helping feed to getting Sophie ready for bed, he's been great! Let's hope it stays that way!
We love you so much baby girl! Don't you forget it! I can't believe you've already been with us for just over 2 months and couldn't imagine our lives without you.
