‘Thank You, God’: Pioneer Woman Celebrates Birth of First Grandchild
By Movieguide® Contributor
Pioneer Woman Ree Drummond is officially a grandmother!
Her daughter Alex and son-in-law Mauricio Scott announced the birth of their first child, a daughter named Sofia, on Instagram.
“At 2:27am our perfect girl made her arrival a couple weeks early, just in time for Christmas!” the couple wrote. “We are so in love and forever changed. Thank you Lord.”
Drummond also posted a photo of her new granddaughter, writing, “Our first baby had her first baby. Thank you Lord, we will never be the same.”
She also wrote a blog post about the birth, saying, “I’m honestly still trying to wrap my head (and heart) around it all.”
“Sofia was born around 2:30 in the morning, and she is perfect,” Drummond’s post continued. “I’m saying that with as much objectivity as I can. But I’m not kidding…she is perfect.”
She continued, “Alex did great, and so did Mauricio. We arrived in Dallas and got to see them in the hospital just as Alex was transitioning from latent to active labor, and it was so wonderful to see how much they love and support each other. Mauricio attended to Alex’s every need, to the point that the rest of us questioned if we even needed to be there. What a gift to Ladd and me, for Alex to have a partner in life who demonstrates his love through such clear action.”
“Thank you, God, for Alex and Mauricio, and for my beautiful granddaughter Sofia Marie Scott!” Drummond concluded.
