My niece arrived at 11:44 am on Sept. 13th. She weighs 7lbs, 5oz and is 20.5 inches long. She is so sweet & her big sister Mia is so proud! I hopped on the earliest flight I could get out of Sac (was on stand-by for a direct-but it was too full) so had to stop in San Diego then on to Chicago. I arrived in Chicago at 3:30-got my luggage & took a cab straight to the hospital.
For those that don't know-Lisa had absolutely NO idea I was coming. I had been texting Ron on his cell phone since I found out her water broke Friday night. When I arrived in Chicago-I checked my phone & saw that Ron had sent me a post-partum room #-so I know I had missed the birth :( For the record-the earlier direct flight would not have arrived in time either-she came so quick!
I met Ron's parents in the lobby of the hospital & my niece-Mia (2 1/2) came running up to me-just as my phone rang) It was Lisa! She was calling to tell me she'd had the baby & then proceeded to tell me her birth story as I followed Ron's parents upstairs and down the hospital corridors to her room. I continued to talk to her as I stood outside her door & then I asked her to repeat the baby's stats. She repeated & then I walked into the room & asked the stats again! She looked up & the look on her face was priceless! She started screaming for joy-hopped out of bed (natural-no drug labor-so she could do this) and we hugged and cried! We even had Ron & his brother teary eyed!
Lisa, Ron & Sophie will be coming home late this afternoon. Hoping to add some photos to the blog once I get some from their camera.

Congratulations to Ron, Lisa, and Mia! Have a wonderful visit, enjoy every minute spent with them.
A moment neither of you will ever forget. Really neat. I can definately see the "little" Lisa in Mia. Takes me back to those days when you two were using my back as a jungle-gym. Now you are both having babies! See ya soon sweetie.
