Sofia Is Here!

We are exhausted and ecstatic - we have been blessed with a beautiful daughter named Sofia Imani Jackman. She arrived on 25 March 2008 - and didn't want to come out quickly either :)

She is still figuring out how to cry, thank god, but is already markedly alert and following conversations with her eyes. We once more have discovered more to love about this country, as I'm not sure what we would do without the "kraamzorg" - a full time nurse for 6 hours a day who teaches, cleans and cooks. She's made the entire process easier and we can actually get some sleep while she's here.

I've taken the week off, but I can't believe it's already over - I don't want to leave Sofia alone for 2 minutes let alone 9 hours a day....

Can't wait to introduce all of you to her.
