Sophia Louise Bains

Introducing our little girl....she was born on Saturday September 22nd at 11:50 p.m.

She weighed 7 lbs 8 oz. and was 20 inches long. Sophia is doing fantastic; she is amazing. Andrew and I are overwhelmed at the sight of this precious, perfect gift!

This is her "mug shot" from the hospital. She is 1 day old here. We will post many more pictures and stories when time allows!!!

Thank you so much for all the beautiful cards, calls, flowers, well wishes and prayers!!

XOXOXO

Where is the baby??

Hello everyone...I thought I would post another update to keep everyone in the loop. I promise that we are not holding out on you...our baby girl has not decided to make her debut quite yet. Which I have to tell you is driving me nuts because I am a very punctual person and she apparently is not :)

I did go to the Dr. today and they did the non-stress test, to make sure she is doing OK. The good news is that she is just as happy as a little clam in there. Her heart beat is nice and strong, she moves consistently, she is just fine. That being said...the new update is that they are going to let her stay in there till Monday now. YEP...that's right...that will make her...11 days late!!! So needless to say, Andrew and are fervently praying that she will come sooner than that- but it doesn't look like its going to be in the next couple of days :(

So anyway we promise we will let everyone know as soon as she comes...but now we know for sure that the latest day will be Monday the 24th (our apt. is for 7 a.m.)

Please continue to keep us in your prayers and pray for a happy, healthy (not too huge) baby :)

Bains Family Update

Hello everyone...I'm sorry it has been so long since my last post. Things were a tad crazy around here for a while. For now everything is back to "normal" at least for a tiny bit longer. Then who knows what will happen :) Here is what has been going on with us! Andrew is almost 100% better!!! He is still under Dr.'s orders to eat soft food after our little emergency room visit last week. Oh, yes...he had some bleeding that led to an emergency room visit at 1:30 a.m., then an ambulance ride to another hospital, more ER visits and then a final day long admittance into the hospital for observation. Needless to say we are so grateful that he has healed and is almost fully recovered (Praise the Lord). He has been back at work for over a week now, I'm still not sure if he would recommend getting your tonsils out :) As for me, I am quite grateful that my stint as a nurse has come to an end. I had no idea how emotionally draining it would be to see the man I love in so much pain. I felt so helpless and frustrated by it. It's only by God's grace that I didn't have a complete breakdown...or go into labor ;) Speaking of labor...out little girl is due any day now. Her official due date is this Saturday; September 15th. I went to the Dr.'s office yesterday Sept. 11th and while I have started to dilate it it looks like it might be a while. I was told that if she is late they would induce me next Friday (the 21st). While I was a tad disappointed that I was not further along, I am excited that we will be able to hold our little girl by next Friday at the latest!!! We promise we will post pictures as soon as we have them. :) Thank you all for your prayers and sweet emails and cards!! We cherish your love and support!
