I know I made it seem in my last post like Sophie is getting the classic second-born shaft, but I am here to reassure you that we have made every effort to treat her and Nora equally. Eric and I are both second-borns, so we understand the importance of making the second child feel just as important as the first.

For example, when we did a newborn photo shoot for Nora, people commented that we wouldn’t do the same for the next kid, but JOKE’S ON YOU GUYS.

How We Named Sophie

It’s been almost five years since I shared the deeply personal, emotional and intricate story of how we named Nora, so I figured it was about time I shared the story of how we named Sophie.

Me: “I kind of like the name Sophie.”

Eric: “Me too.”

Me: “K.”

Second born!
