Sophie Amber Stinson

Four weeks early, but healthy as she can be! Sophie Amber Stinson made her entrance into this world last night and her momma was quite the trooper through 16 hours of labor! Rebecca and Brian couldn't be more in love with this sweet blessing, as all parents feel when they welcome a new baby into the world.
There is so much meaning behind this child. There is no doubt she will do great things.

Rebecca found out she was pregnant when Amber, her best friend, was going through her battle with cancer. Amber and Eric had been trying to get pregnant for a few years and were struggling with infertility. I don't know this for sure, but I can imagine it was a bitter sweet moment for Rebecca when she became pregnant when Amber could not.

Not too long after that, Amber passed away and Rebecca immediately knew that if she was going to have a baby girl, she wanted to name her Sophie Amber. So as a tribute to her friend, Rebecca and Brian's daughter has the most meaningful name. They asked Eric to be the godfather, another emotional part of this wonderful child's life.

I have no doubt that Amber is keeping an eye on this little one from up above.
