Our New Addition

Sophie Karyn Barr

was born on August 10, 2011 at 1:57 am

at 7 lbs. 10 oz. and 20 inches

This was the best one so far!!  Labor went really well and very quickly.  We couldn't believe it ~ as I mentioned in my previous post, both Ian and Clara took quite a while to come . . . over 24 hours.  Sophie came in about 7!  Two pushes and there she was.  I still felt fresh when it was all over.  Of course, after about a day of recovering from Labor and add to that the eating habits of a new born and I wasn't feeling so chipper anymore.

Sorry it's taken me a little while to get this post up.  With my two kids and the baby and trying to rest whenever I can I haven't been able to get to the computer.  

Here are a few pictures from the hospital, right after Sophie was born.  Just getting to know each other pictures.

This one is sweet . . . just the girls.

Our first picture as a family.

We are all doing well.  Sophie has a touch of jaundice so we are nursing a lot and spending a little time on the back porch.  My mom has been indispensable the last couple of weeks.  She had Clara and Ian during the hospital visit and even kept them for a few days after we came home from the hospital so Adam and I could have a little more time getting to know our little daughter together.  Thank you Mom, we love you!

First "Decent" Picture

So, here is a little preview of our little baby girl.  I know it's not a fantastic picture, but it sure beats the regular profile pictures you usually come home with from an ultrasound!  

Tomorrow is the big day.  We have an 11:00am appointment at the hospital for the induction.  Fare warning . . . my labors tend to take a awhile.  I believe Ian was about 28 hours.  So don't get worried if you don't see any updates on Facebook by Tuesday night.  In my own mind, I am kind of planning to have her sometime Wednesday morning and then if she comes early it will be a nice surprise!!

Wish me luck!!
