Sophia, one day old! 

Sophia Amaris Love Raines--Isn't she pretty??? 

SHE'S HERE!!!!

My newest niece arrived this evening! Sophia Amaris Love Raines made her debut in the world at 6:24 pm, 19 3/4 inches "tall" and weighing six pounds eleven ounces. She is absolutely beautiful and perfect. Her and Cindy are both doing great. Already though, we can tell Sophia is stubborn. First, Cindy's labor had to be induced. Even with that though, she refused to show her face. So, finally the decision was made that is would be best for Cindy to have a C-section--not what Cindy wanted, but in the end is was best for both of them. Sophia was coming out whether she wanted to or not! When Izzy saw her for the first time, he LOVED her--all hugs and kisses. Let's hope that keeps up!

Thanks to everyone who's been praying for Cindy and her family!

The most impossible word scramble...

I hosted a baby shower for my sister Friday night. It was a huge success--plenty of guests and they all seemed to have a good time. One of the games we did was a baby word scramble that Micki and I came up with. It has 22 words, all having to do with babies in some way. Everyone thought that it was the most impossible word scramble that they had ever seen! So, I decided that I had to post it on here to see if you guys can do any better.

Here are the rules. You have eight minutes (that is about what they ended up with) to unscramble as many words as possible. They all are related to babies in some way. Some are two words, so keep that in mind. No using the computer to cheat, nor taking more time. :) When you are done, if you aren't too embarrassed to tell, post a comment with how many you were able to get. Oh, and to make it easier for you guys, I corrected the mistakes that were pointed out to me during the game, so you do have a bit of an advantage over the party-goers. If you happen to find any mistakes, please forgive me, and let me know! In a few days I will post the answers, that is, if I get any comments and people seem interested in knowing the answers. Good luck!
