Yesterday, Ellie received her New Zealand Birth Certificate in the mail. To Victoria and my surprise the column that states New Zealand citizen by birth is marked yes. Next week all three of us are going to the US consulate in downtown Auckland “to establish an official record of the child's claim to U.S. citizenship at birth” according to the US Consulate. We will be getting her a US and New Zealand passport for travel.
Ellie and Victoria met with the mid wife for the last time earlier this week. Ellie weighs a little over 9 lbs and is doing really well. The mid wife said for Victoria to stop by her office periodically so she can see her and Ellie. She also mentioned to Victoria that she would see her when she is pregnant again. I wonder what their conversation was leading up to that statement.

It's more commom than you'd think to have your second child so close to the first - most of the mommies in our playgroup have just had or are about to have their second!! So cool on the dual-citizenship for Ellie. Can I have dual-citizenship for say, Italy or France ;)
Oh, I just noticed the Uglydolls keeping her company in the crib. Our kids are going to grow up with a warped sense of cuddly dolls - I love it!
