Sophia Noelle Semsh

WELCOME
Sophia Noelle Semsch
BORN JULY 13th 11:04 am 8lbs 14oz 21 inches

Our baby girl entered the world and our lives are forever changed.
We are so blessed to have her with us. She is so beautiful and we are in love.
Mom and Dad are doing well and everyone is settling in to our new life together.
She was born at St Vincents hospital in Portland. The nurses and care that we received were excellent. She is nursing and sleeping effortlessly.
When she was born we were so surprised and delighted by her full head of dark hair and the dimple on her left upper cheek. She is wide eyed and very alert, from early on she had had strength in her arms and neck.
She loves sleeping in her basket, basinett and sometimes her crib. But, her favorite is her swing. She loves her swing! We don't know what we'd do without it.
We have been busy going on walks and rides and a few shopping and dining experiences too.
We have also stayed busy visiting the Doctors. She is wearing a brace/harness to help her hips settle into the joints. She has hip displasia, more common in breech and first time babies. This is something that can be corrected and we are staying positive that she will get the results from wearing the brace.
Every day there is something new that we see her do for the first time. Her smile is so precious and she smiles when shes sleeping. Hiccups are quite frequent and pretty adorable, her sneezes are so soft and gentle. We have watched as she has discovered her thumb, that was on her 8th day. When she was 10 days old she was holding her hands together. She loves having her scalp and ears massaged. So we make sure to get some massage time in each day. We know that each day holds a new discovery and we look forward to showing our little girl all the wonderful things that life has to offer.
