Pearl van Zoest

Pearl was born on the 8th of November, 2007. Papa and Oma were there to greet Pearl. She weighs 3.555 kilograms (7 pounds and 13 ounces). She has straight dark brown hair that has become dark blond overtime. Her eyes are a gray-blue color although it will become brown later.

Pearl, Jasmine, Sander and myself would like to thank Oma van Zoest for coming out to the Netherlands to help welcome Pearl into the world and for all the assistance she offered our family. Oma, you have been a tremendous help. We hope you were able to enjoy your time in Netherlands and that your time here was not too stressful.

Pearl is now two weeks old. Weight wise, she has been gaining weight at a steady rate. Her current weight is 3.82 kilograms, which is about 8 pounds and 6 ounces. At this point, she has exceeded her birth weight, 3.555 kilograms (7 pounds and 13 ounces). Height wise, she is standing about 20.5 inches tall. We are not sure of her initial height so we cannot asset her growth at this stage. Hopefully, we will have a better idea in the next couple months. Overall she is doing well although she had a bit of a rough start.

We are working on creating a gallery page for Pearl. We hope to have one up by next week.
