Sophia Elaine Lampi 8/26/09






Born at 6:14 am Wednesday morning, Sophia came into the world, all 7 lbs. and 20 inches long and a monster head of jet black hair. And I can't leave out that adorable Greek nose after her Papou. We think as of right now she looks most like what Eden did at birth. Steph worked so hard and we were blessed by two amazing friends to help coach in DR. Jami and Meg. Caleb and Eden are so excited too -Caleb's already been helping with bath and diaper duties; however, Eden is taking it slow - "I don't want to squish her, Daddy." Thanks to my parents and mom-in-law for being such a support and for all of you who said a prayer for a healthy labor and delivery. It's going to take me a while to find words to express how I feel about God's gift of grace to our family.

A few quick cute moments to share:

At the house, while we were in hospital, Eden turned to my mom and said, "We're going to see the baby today, and you know what? Papou will be there." Turns out the little girl has a few of his features.

Also after I exclaimed about having a girl, the doctor who delivered her turned to me and says, "My condolences."

Caleb, concerning the umbilical chord remains, says, "Mom, I'll be really happy when that things falls off."

We rejoice with you and like always, wish we could be there to celebrate this gift. She's beautiful and I'm sure will live up to her name. And finally another girl so Grace doesn't feel so outnumbered. They'll have a special bond for sure!

Can't wait to meet her in late October. We'll be in town and will be sure connect!

And don't forget Eden's comment, "the next baby is going to be a boy"!
We love Sophia so much!

Congradulations to Sophia for having such great parents. She will have a hard time choosing between Cash and Jackson for a husband. There may even be more choices in the future if she goes for a younger man.
