Sofia Mae Andrade Has Arrived!

I had a very interesting weekend as you can see from these pictures! As most of you know, my little sister Lisa was also expecting a baby. She and Melissa are two weeks apart in age and their babies will be about two weeks apart as well. Lisa had what I would consider a dream delivery. They induced labor beginning at 9:30 pm and Sofia was born at 4:43 am. Boy, if we could all have it that easy! Lisa did really awesome during labor and delivery. No yelling at all which as some of you that know her would know that Lisa would have no problem telling someone if she was the least bit irritated with them. Felipe was such a trooper and did a great job. He is such a proud Papa. It was great practice for me and an awesome experience.

I am now ready to meet Avery!! It won't be much longer. It's exciting to have new babies in the family. Melissa is out of work now on modified bed rest. It looks like Avery will be making her appearance before her due date of the 29th. If Melissa hasn't gone into labor by her 39th week, they will be scheduling an induction. Melissa and Gavin had a Jack & Jill given by Gavin's sister Gigi and her husband Matt on Saturday night. It was a very nice shower and they received lots of great gifts.
