And unto us a child was born

20 April 2009 11:58 pm, Theo, The Life and Times of Kara,

Today, just after 3 pm, Kara Neha Scheffler arrived into our lives and hearts.

She made a grand, but unexpected entrance today because we did not expect her so soon, but already we cannot imagine life without her.

20 minutes before we left for the hospital:

Fist things first – so where did we come up with the names?
Kara has many roots and meanings – just Google it to see how many!
It means “beloved”, “friend”, “sweet melody”, “pure maiden”, “love”, “the beloved one”, “pure”. All of these apply to our beautiful angel.
It is also a strong name.

Neha is a beautiful Indian name that we chose because of the undeniable connection that our daughter will have to India.
Neha means “cherished”, “beauty”, “love” and “affection”. (It also means “rain” in Sanskrit). It describes how we feel about our little girl.

Also not only does her names have deep and impressive meanings – they are lovely cool names.
(We will be calling her Kara.)

Here is our family: (Have you ever seen a mother look so beautiful an hour after giving birth!?)

About Kara

When she entered this world she opened up her lungs and cried to let the air in. After that she only cried while being measured and given a bath. Other than that, not only is she looking perfect, she is also behaving perfectly. She is the most beautiful baby ever to be brought into this world.

Thankfully she looks like her gorgeous mother – so lock up your sons if you don’t want their hearts broken.
She is tiny, has delicate features and weighs 3.09kg and was delivered through a caesarian section.

About Marga

Marga has been absolutely amazing (and still is!). She went through the operation and into motherhood with grace, style and skill. She is doing well and is resting in hospital for a few days to recuperate from the operation. She is doing fantastically with Kara and it is hard to believe this is her first child. (Its only the father hovering around that has been blown away into uncertainty what his new role is!).

I’ll try to keep you up to date how the extended Scheffler family is doing.
Thanks for everyone’s well wishes and prayers – we have been blessed by a wonderful, beautiful child – so whatever you did – it worked!

    Toe ek gister hier by Sanlam in Walter vasloop, kon ek netsowel gesê het: Hello, Oupa!

    Wees gewaarsku, as die oupas en oumas naby is, kry ma en pa maar min kans om vas te hou!

    Groot plesier vir julle almal!
