Life Continues with Bears, Baths, Slings and Passports

Apart from having put a slight dampener on the whole thing life continued and Eva was wonderful. We made adjustments to our plans so that her CH did not completely change our plans to ones of living on land permently.
Uncle James came out for a few days to get to know his niece and then the Bridgemans went home.

We spent time getting to know Eva, going to pediatrician appointments and seeing friends.
Learning how to use the sling.

We loved it.

Having first baths.

She did not love it.

And getting used to having a bear in the family.

The number of people who thought we had a real bear!

Oh, and trying desperately to sort out Eva's passport. Easier said than done, and only because I had to have the full, long version of my birth certificate which I have never seen or indeed had, ever!
Then, having ordered it from the UK it took more than 2 weeks to get here and then of course had to be sent off to Madrid to catch up with the rest of the paper work. This all took about a month to sort out and in the meantime Grandpa Tait was wanting to get married but not without his new grandaughter.
The passport arrived at 10.30 one day at the end of April and we were on a flight at 2pm.
