Sofia [belated introduction]

Helen Makadia — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 19:23:13 +0000

I am so excited to introduce Sofia Carmela, my little girl, born 7.5 weeks early. She was supposed to be a Fall baby, mid-October, but decided that Summer was more her season, so she joined us on August 22nd, 2011. Given her early entrance, she did spend some time in the NICU and her tiny size is now a thing of the past. This overdue introduction (its 2012 already!) can be blamed on a variety of reasons, so without further delay, here are some images of Sofia. Keep tabs for future photo shares. Thanks for reading!

One day old, in the NICU

Finally seeing some open eye action. Lovely feeding tube & IV.

Kangarooing with Daddy.

Sleeping peacefully in her incubator, all swaddled up.

Feeding from a bottle. A very exhausting task! You can see here how tiny she is in relation to the bottle.

After 22 days we made it home and I got to play with her a bit.

Here is Sofia at 1 month! You can see she already has so much personality.

Sofia on her due date, October 12th.

Also on her due date, breaking out of a swaddle.

At two months we hit a bit of a road block with some reflux issues, so our 2 month pictures are less than stellar. But still very representative of the fact that we were tired of it!

With our reflux issues well under control, we resumed our smiles!

Pictures from our three month session. You can see her hair is starting to get long!

We had a quick holiday photo session in December. Turns out Sofia is a great model!

Three months quickly turned into four months!

Stay tuned! She’ll be five months on Sunday!
