Congrats Sonja and A.J.! So happy for you both as you have welcomed your beautiful little girl into the world! Well done! I am loving the internet and the way it has somehow magically reconnected me to your world. I feel honored to have a glimpse of your life and am inspired by your love for each other and now little Emilia! I am praying for a quick recovery for you Sonja, that Emilia will take to feeding with ease, that she will be strong and healthy and that you will find rest. Congrats A.J. on becoming a Dad—I know you will enjoy every moment and that you will take care of your little princess with much love!
Congrats! Libbie and Dale Brand

Hello Emilia,
It’s your Uncle Joey! You might recognize my voice from last week when I told you to come out of your mommy, but I guess you won the first round of hide and go seek with me… I’m so happy you finally came out to play! I’m no longer the baby of the family, that now belongs to you. I’m so excited to see you in a couple weeks. Try not to give your mom and dad too much trouble. From what I heard about your first night, you might like sleeping just as much as I do! I’ll see you soon.
-Your Cool Uncle

Welcome, Emilia!
I am excited to meet you. Your mom and dad clearly have fallen in love with you, and are great parents.
Sonja and AJ~ reading this blog reminds me so much of those first dreamy weeks at home when Rachel and later Adam were newborns. I don’t think anything else in life compares to the wonder and joy of that experience. Congratulations! Welcome to the ‘club’!
