After many months, and 37 hours of labour (sorry, mommy!) Sophie Lucille Papineau-Couture has made her appearance! Sophie whipped into this world on Sunday July 16th (her due date) at 4:44 pm. She was actually delivered by the nurse, because after putting everyone through all those hours and trips back and forth to the hospital, she quit messing around--25 minutes of pushing, and arrived 2 minutes before the doctor got there! She weighed in at 6 lbs 10 1/2 oz (3010 grams) and 20 1/2" (52 cm) long. Everyone is doing great, although Mich and Michael are still exhausted...I guess that doesn't go away. We can't quite figure who she looks like, although she has her grandmother's giant Dutch hands and feet, and Gene Simmons' (from Kiss) tongue. So far she likes being where all the action is, usually only settles down for her Dad, and takes her time eating, which means Mommy will probably watch every movie in the apartment over the course of breastfeeding.
We are EXTREMELY grateful for all of the support and generosity everyone has given us...we are without words (something that rarely happens...)
We also want to say a special thank you to Michelle's mother Louise who was with us every step of the way even opening her house to us during the labouring process. Also we want to thank Michelle's sister Lisa for giving Michael some well needed recharge breaks during the labouring process.

Love,
Michelle, Michael and Sophie
