2 Months Old

Sophie is growing so fast and getting to be so much fun. She can now recognize Mommy and Papa and looks for us when she hears our voice. She smiles a lot and her giggle is contagious. She is getting so much stronger at holding her head up. She is starting to coo more and talk to us which is just about the cutest thing ever:) As much as I loved the newborn stage this stage is so much more fun. Interacting with her and watching her explore is so rewarding. She has started to sleep through the night which also makes me really happy. Not a huge napper she takes lots of cat naps but she sleeps through the night so I am not complaining. She is such a good baby and so happy. She has bought so much love and joy into our lives I can't wait to see what comes next.

Although our little Sophie laughs often while sleeping, today was the first day she had a serious belly laugh. I hope this brings a glimpse of who Sophie is becoming.

Sophie 1 Month Old

It was our 3rd anniversary when Sophie had her one month birthday so we were excited to take her to one of our favorite restaurants to celebrate Spaghetti Factory. She has been such a blessing Steve and I are so lucky to have such a happy baby girl. Some of the things that she loves to do is take a bath, lay on her back and play, be naked, ride in the car and her very favorite thing is to EAT! I am so glad I am able to breastfeed because we would be in such debt if I were buying formula this kid is definitely a Boyne.

Halloween

This post is long overdue but here are some Halloween pics of our little bundle of joy. She was a black cat for Halloween and had so much fun at the Comerfords Halloween bash.

Our Little Yogi

Sophia Marie Boyne entered the world on 9/13/2010 at 5:11am weighing in at a whopping 8lbs 9oz and 19.5inches long. I started labor early Sunday morning (Sophie was 5 days past her due date at this time) at about 2am but was feeling fine nothing I couldn't handle just felt like slight menstrual cramps. I called Steve who was just about to get off from work and told him not to rush that this was going to be a long process but of course he rushed right home. We had been joking all week that she would come when he finished his "long" (44hr) work week at 2am and sure enough that's what she decided to do. I noticed a few hours later that they were getting closer together so I decided to call my mom and have her come over. The contractions weren't consistent and weren't getting much stronger so at about 10am Mom and I decided to go for a walk. When this walk still didn't get things started we decided to get showered and dressed and go have a late breakfast at one of our favorite spots Bon Jour Cafe in Dana Point. I was able to take a long nap in the afternoon and just relax the contractions seemed to have slowed down and still were not that painful. At around 8pm I jumped in the bath to relax and by 8:30pm it was go time. We called Dr. James and headed to the hospital. We arrived at 9pm and discovered that I was 3cm dilated and was going to be admitted and get an epidural. We were overjoyed that Sophie was on her way and decided to come on her own since I was scheduled to be induced in 48 hours. I was very fortunate that by 2:30am I was fully dilated and ready to push. Two and half hours of pushing and some maneuvering of Sophie's head by Dr. James Sophia Marie Boyne enters the world at 5:11am weighing in at 8lbs 9oz 19.5 inches long.

We are so blessed to have this little gift from heaven she is truly a blessing and has changed our lives forever. I never thought I could love someone as much as I love her (besides my husband of course). Being a mom is something that I always knew I wanted but never really understood until the doctor put her in my arms. At that moment I knew I would never be the same. Steve and I are so happy and thank all of you for the love and support you have given us these past few weeks. The sleepless nights and hours of painful breastfeeding are all worth every minute just to be called Sophie's Mom and Dad. We love you so much Sophie and can't wait to see you flourish and grow. Every moment I spend with you my heart grows. Mommy and Daddy love you so much and thank you for choosing us as your parents.

Baby Sophie

So today is my due date and still no signs of Baby Sophie coming any time soon. I have walked, eaten spicy foods, Steve has been pushing on pressure points in my hands and feet that are apparently helpful in starting labor, we walked some more but still no Sophie. I guess she is still pretty cozy in her little cocoon. I just read that drinking Papaya juice is apparently helpful so today I will try that. We will keep you posted when she finally does decide to arrive. If anyone has any suggestions on how to get things going I am all ears.
