Malachi has arrived

At exactly 08:45 you arrived into the loving arms of your beautiful mom and handsome dad.

Weight: 3.82kg      Length: 52cm

You came out of the womb ready to eat... and has not stopped yet - that's my boy :)

Doctors said you one of the cleanest babies (was like you were bathed in the womb) to come out of the womb and we gonna keep it that way.

Can't wait for your sisters to meet you...

The morning of your birth

The time has just reached 06:30 and mom is taking a nap in the labour ward.

We've been up since 04:15 this morning as we needed to be at the hospital by 5AM. The nurses did some checks on you and mommy before the Caesar which will take place at 07:30 according to plan. Glory be to God!!

Ecclessiates 11v5: As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things.

1day to go - One more sleep...

Tonight will be the last night we goto bed as 4 family members... 2morrow morning it's will be up bright and early for the Caesar. Good boy see you in the morning.

That is the last family pic we took before you arrived.

2days to go - Our last doctors visit

We got so use to the waiting room at the doctor in Sanctor that the kids even started drawing at the secretaries desk.

Dr Ferreira has been delivering babies for over 21yrs, with an average of 350 babies a year. He really knows what he is doing.

Btw, you now weigh 4kgs... session don't tell mommy ;)

3days to go - What's in a name

Will only three days left before you leave the womb, we still debating as to what your name should be... The current options are:
-Daniel
-Joash
-Jethro
-Malachi
-Joshua

Majority seems to like Malachi. Considering its meaning, I guess Malachi it will be.

4days to go - Happy Mothers Day

Today we celebrated mothers day, I am sure you noticed all the commotion going on this morning... that was me and the girls surprising mom with breakfast and lots a gifts, even you were very active in mums tummy. Of course I did video record it all so you can watch it in the future.

Luckily you'll be in time for fathers day ; )

 

 

5days to go - Micah says bye to her bottle

With only 5days to go before you arrive, Micah decided to put an end to her much loved bottle by actually throwing it in the bin. It was a huge surprise to us all...

6days to go - You gonna miss the womb

Next week this time you will be held in the loving arms of your mother and father and of course two sisters. Enjoy the last few days in mom's womb.

I am sure it's hard for you to believe there can be life after/outside the womb. You currently weighing 3.3kg and love eating Nosh chocolates... or maybe it's just mom telling us you love it ; )

Psalm 139v9: For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.

7days to go - Dear Malachi

We decided to do something each day from now until you arrive... So we starting by each one saying something to you.

Michaela: "I love you Malachi, and I miss you. I'm gonna change your nappy when you come."

Micah: "Love you so much, I'm gonna let you drink the bottle."

Mom: "Please stop kicking your sisters when they lay on my tummy. We can't wait to meat you."

Dad: "Can't wait to meet my boy, gonna spoil you rotten"

Photoshoot for my boy

In 2weeks time my boy will be here so we decided to do a family photo shoot for him.

We can't wait for baby brother to arrive.
