'Hats off' to Sylvie

Wow! What a day. We arrived at the hospital this morning and the Consultant announced "Ah, Mrs Haines! We have fixed your daughter!" Sylvie was lying, unrespirated, no hat - Niamh didn't recognise her and thought she'd been moved.
We sat and watched Sylvie for a long time, very excited about her just breathing for herself, seeing her hair, seeing her eyes (blue-grey).

We then helped to wash her hair.
Who does she look like? Niamh thinks she looks just like Joe when he was born.
And then, finally, after 4 days, Niamh held Sylvie!



We didn't realise quite how big Sylvie is until I saw Niamh holding Sylvie - 9lb6oz, 55cm - she's a giantess!
