On behalf of her very proud parents, Ivan and Catherine I'd like to announce the arrival of Baby Sofia! My grandaughter, Sofia, (I love saying that) was born at 10:33 p.m. on April 18, weighing in at 6lb. 8oz. Although I was blessed to have witnessed her birth we only saw her but a few moments till she was taken away to be cared for by the special team of docters awaiting her. Catherine is fine but as can be expected very emotional and tired. I'm so very proud of her, she was just wonderful and so brave. Ivan was great at coaching her and even got to cut the cord. Her and Ivan are getting some alone time now to rest and wait for permission to see their baby girl. I really can't say more at this time but will keep you updated as I find out things too. As you know this is just the beginning of a very hard battle for our little baby so please continue to keep her and her parents in your prayers. Thank you for your comments I do relate them to Catherine and I know they
