The latest in baby theft prevention at the St Georges Hospital.

The band above goes around mommies arm and the band below around babies leg.

If baby get's separated from mommy and exits through the maternity ward entrance the hospital alarm goes off and locks all exists.

A happy family

Big Sister Michaela

Michaela's own baby - Kaitlin

Michaela and her sister - Micah

Michaela reacted very surprised when she met her little sister for the first time, there was this look of "what's going on here?"... and she was very concerned about the needle in mommies arm.

She still called the baby brother/sister the first few times.

The sky outside

The sky outside was beaming with sunrays the day Micah was born... if i remember correctly it was pouring down with Michaela.

Welcome Micah

You were born @ 06:29 this morning.
Weight : 3.76
Height : 52.5cm

Dad was hoping for a boy this time... But now dad has three girls to look after him. Btw, you were really hungry when you came out and latched first time... Mom and Dad was reading Psalm 139 before the Caesar, speaks about "you watched me grow from conception to birth".

Dad and Dr Ferreira

Me and Dr Ferreira after the Caesar. What a cool/funny doctor he is, he also delivered Michaela two and a half years ago.

They call him Mr Bean I believe... he definitely adds humor to any situation - we almost laughed the entire caesar through.

Dad cuts the umbilical chord

Arriving at the hospital

                                                                           

Never been the first people to arrive at a hospital... No queues, no searching for parking :) Luckily all the staff were wide awake and very help-full. 

On our way to hospital

Had to be up at 3 this morning, hospital checkin @ 4:30. Doctor will be doing Caesar @ 6.

Brother/Sister is coming...

Because we never find out what sex you will be, when the doctor asked Michaela what your name is gonna be, she said "Brother/Sister" :) - the doctor had a good laugh. We are actually thinking of giving your name Micah (pronounced differently if boy or girl). The doctor recons you should be here by the 15 Aug 2012.
