Our new one has arrived!

[chrissyhowie]

DD#2 makes her debut! Sophie was born on June 24 by repeat c-section. So no exciting birth story here, but she did make it clear that she wanted out a few days before her originally scheduled date by breaking my water! Chloe's already relishing her new role as big sister. The first thing she does whenever she wakes up is look for Sophie. It melts my heart!

So the endless parade of diaper changes and sleepless nights is starting again, but we are thrilled to be blessed with such a happy and healthy child. It already feels natural to be a family of four :).

Here are some pics:
