At Last

"You smiled, you smiled

oh and then the spell was cast

and here we are in heaven

for you are mine at last" 

After 41 weeks of totally patient waiting (ahem), she arrived! Nava Sophie joined us in the madness and glory on July 29 at 11.08 am in the morning, weighing a proud 4125 g (9 lbs) and measuring 56 cm (22 inches). 

We are utterly besotted and have spent the week hypnotized by the way she moves her mouth, the way her chest lifts when she breathes, the way she sleeps with her feet curled up like a frog. 

It's taken us a few days to get permission to leave the (wonderful) hospital but we finally got out last night, just in time to spend the weekend with my parents and my brother in our own home. Hallelujah and at last! She was definitely worth the wait.
