Welcome Sophia Marie Picarelli!

Sophia has arrived! After several weeks of scares about possible premature delivery due to early dilation, we ended up having to be induced! We woke early on August 10th, dropped Jake off at Grandma B's house and then off to Ohio State University Medical Center for our 6:00 am induction date. Our good friend Dr. Jospeh Werner placed my epidural around 8:30am, they broke my water at 10:45, and after just two short pushes, Sophia Marie Picarelli was born at 11:45 am! She weighed 7lbs, 2oz and was 20 inches long. By the time we left the hospital, she weighed a mere 6lbs 12 oz.... so tiny! We are overjoyed at the completion of our family, and so blessed to have Sophia finally here and healthy!
