Two hundred and twenty-five days. That’s how long they had to wait to bring their baby girl home – and in that time they travelled more than 28 000km to see her as she went from being impossibly tiny to the cooling bundle of cuteness she is today.
Little Marné Muller is seven months old now and weighs 3,7kg, the size of a healthy newborn. But when you consider she weighed just 630g at birth, her growth is nothing short of remarkable.
“It hasn’t sunk in yet that she’s home,” Marco Muller (27) says as he gazes at his daughter, who’s lying in mom Niké’s arms, taking in her surroundings with her big blue eyes, blowing raspberries and grabbing fistfuls of her mom’s hair.
