Marlie du Plessis - I found us on your blog ! Still remember that eerily overwhelming feeling of having Xander handed to me after his birth, and thinking: Who is this stranger ? Who is this little boy ? Now, not even 4 months later, I look at these pictures and think: I recognize you ! You are everything we ever longed for !
