[Beate]

I love the name and I was hoping all along that hey would choose it. It's nice that Queen Sofia is honoured like that!!

 

[clymène]

Congratulations to everyone in little Sofia's family!!!! I can't wait to see her going out with her mummy next week!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[cristine]

It was thrilling and exciting follow the birth and the conference but now I'm going to see some movies. It's so relieve not being so nervous...

 

[magnik]

F.ex. someday we will see the photo of Sofia and Sofia or Juan Carlos and Sofia (the Younger).

 

[sadie]

Congratulations to the princes!!! I'm incredibly happy for them.

I love the name Sofia.

 

[RhapsodyBrat]

i just finished watching the press conference and oh boy...wheeeee Infanta Sofia! i am giddy with joy! ha ha

i'm so excited to see pics of the new baby. felicidades a los Principes, a la Infanta Leonor, y a todo de sus familias!

The same what they had done with Leonor's blood will hapeen with Sofia's. If I'm not mistaken.

Meaning what, exactly?

 

[Monna]

Sofia Not my favorite but I find it really really moving that the Princes named the little after the Queen. I hope the Infanta will inherit her grandmas beauty and virtues. Felipe was very happy. His voice seemed to break when he was announcing the name
So welcome to the world, Infanta Sofia!!!

 

[contessa]

was it a c section or natural?

 

[*SofiaM*]

yessss. I knew it would be Sofia. And I agree with you all, it is such a lovely name

 

[Lauritas138]

3,350 or 3,360 kg?¿?

 

[Her_Majesty]

I'm curoius about how they spell her name:
Sofia (like the Queen's name) or Sophia (like some members already did)?

 

[Aurora810]

I like the name but I'm thinking at times things might be a little confusing to differentiate between grandma and granddaughter. This is really going to be something if Fred and Mary name their princess after one of the grandmother's(first name I mean). I kind of hope they don't, now it might be a little weird.

Sofia is a very great name for Felipe, obvious, but for Letizia too. I'm quiet sure that they give this name to her second daughter to thanks the Queen for all that she do for Spain, spagniards and for her family and particularly for helping Letizia in her very difficult task to learn how becoming a great Royal!

Congratulation for the baby girl, congratulation for the name!

This has been such a good babywatch! I love the name Sofia . Hopefully we will get pictures of Leonor visiting her little sister tomorrow! Love this family so much

 

[lisa777]

I think since they are in Spain the name will be Sofia

 

[Lauritas138]

Sofia (like the Queen's name) or Sophia (like some members already did)?

Sofía

 

[crisiñaki]

congratulations to Leo, she's got a little sister

Meaning what, exactly?

From wikipedia:
The Spanish Royal House confirmed on February 25, 2006 that stem cells from Princess Leonor's umbilical cord have been frozen and stored at a blood bank in Tucson, Arizona. A spokesman said this is "habitual practice" at the clinic where Leonor was born. The stem cells will be frozen for at least 15 years, along with cells from 18,000 other babies around the world. Leonor is not the first royal baby to have her stem cells frozen; Prince Christian of Denmark's stem cells were frozen as well.


When thay will be relised from the hospital?

Yep, I agree, that's also why I'm a little disappointed, even though I love the name Sofia ...

Why exactly ?

 

[princess leonor]

TVE just said that Queen Sofia will arrive in madrid around 21.00 hours. DO you guys think she'll go straight to the hospital to visit little Sofia? I sure hope so. I can't wait to see Leonor tomorrow when she'll go see her baby sister. Wouldn't it be great if the King and Queen were to bring her
