You were born on 12.3.11 on a Saturday at 4:41am. You were 8lbs 12oz and too big to come out of me. I went into labor on Thursday night at 9pm. Your dad was starting a big job the next day so I let him sleep, while I sat downstairs with contractions (I didn't tell him, and I didn't want to worry him just in case it was fake labor AGAIN). I finally woke him up at 5:30am (Friday) becuase I needed a bath. At 6:30am we left our house to wait at Grandma and Grandpa's house. The hospital would not take me until the contractions were closer together. We got to the hospital at 10:30am on Friday morning. I was already 4.5cm so they admitted me right away. I was put on a bunch of machenes, medications, and Iv's. I was in labor a total of 33 hours before the surgeon came in and told us that you were not going to come out that way. Your dad and I made the decision that I would have surgery to get your out. We were ready to meet you!
They preped me for surgery. Both of us (your dad and I) were very nervous, I had never had surgery before. At 4:41am the doctors pulled your out of me and I heard you cry for the first time. I've never felt so happy in my life. I remember crying and saying "thats my baby girl!". Becuase of all the medication I was on for the surgery, I wasn't allowed to hold you. But your dad went with you everywhere and held you close to him. When the doctor showed you to me for the first time, (I thought it would feel like I was just meeting you) but it erally felt like I was saying "Hello Again". I know I've always known you, and you were always meant for me. What joy and relief I felt seeing you and kissing you for the first time.
Oh my sweet Sophia I could never explain in words how much I love you. Your such a dream and the most beautiful baby I have ever seen. You were worth all the craziness to get you out and bring you here. The whole hospital experiance is kind of a blur to men. I don't remember large chuncks of what happened. I was awake for 3 days straight, working very hard to bring you here. Then I had to start recovering from surgery.
So many people came to visit you. It was wonderful to see how loved you are from so many others. All of your dad's freinds and some of my freinds came to kiss you. On Sunday night at 7:30pm we walked in the front door of our house for the first time as a family of three. And we couldn't be happier.

Since that day you have been glued to me. It is very difficult for me to put you down. I am so used to you being in my belly its hard for me to share you. You sleep in bed right next to me, every night. You are kind of a bed hog. I usually end up with about 6 inches of bed with you under my armpit, while daddy has the rest of the bed.
I have been having so much fun with you. I call you my little lion girl becuase you make the most amazing Rawr face when your hungry and searching for food. Then when you find it you make such a feriocious attack sound. You are so fun and funny to watch. Especially when you are sleeping. I always wonder what you could be dreaming about.
Well my darling girl you are 18 days new and it gets easier every day. We are learning together how to be a family and I seriously look forward to what is next. I love you my little lion Girl!
