We're home.

We've all made it home safe and sound, recovering from the past days events.
We couldn't have made it through the past couple of days without Rosemary, whom I asked last minute to fly all the way from Ottawa to help us deal with the change compounded by poor Christine's emergency c-section. Needless to say, she was more than happy to help!
Thank you Rosemary! And a thank you to the friends here in Victoria that have supported us through the past few days, as well as during the pregnancy!
And thanks to everyone all over Canada, from Victoria to PEI with the messages to love and congratulations!
Now. Violet.
What can I say? She is perfect. And not just because I am biased. She rarely cries, and when she does, it's tiny spurts that last only until you pick her up and give her a cuddle, or feed her.
It's easy to tell that she will be a happy, easy-going person that will be easy to love. Plus, she is beautiful and I am in awe of what is unfolding before my eyes every minute of every day.
She is magnificent!

And Christine.
The strongest, bravest, most beautiful woman in the world. After witnessing her go through such a painful, taxing experience she had to endure; a tiny framed woman, trying her very best to give birth to a giant baby, I can honestly say that I am 100 times more in love with her today. She is incredible. And her amazing strength and grace is an inspiration.

Anyway.
Must sleep.
Exhausted.
Christine will post tommorow.
