Sophia Ann arrived on February 1, 2012 at 5:34 p.m! She was two days past her due date, and I like to think I "prayed" her into this world the night before when I realized that a birthday of 2-1-12 would be really cool. But I know better...babies arrive when they're good and ready. I'm just thankful she and I were in agreement...and I hope it's not the last time in our lives.
I'm also glad that the minute she popped out after only 5 minutes of pushing and I caught sight of her, I was able to declare with certainty, "Yay! She isn't 9+ pounds!" Everyone who knows me (and some people who don't know me) knows I was concerned about having a large baby because Miranda was 9 pounds, 2 ounces...and they usually get bigger each time, right?

Sophia says, "Ciao!"
This traditional Buona Fortuna shirt is said to bring good luck if it's the first thing she wears. It was a thoughtful gift from our Italian neighbor, Roberto, and his wife Lisa.
