Birth Letter to Michaela

For Doctor Ferreira

Mom and dad decided to bless the doctor by printing a canvas of memories we had with him.

So we took the best photos from Michaela, Micah and Malachis birth and printed it on a canvas for him.

I would recommend Dr Ferreira to everyone he is truly one of a kind doctor.

Gurshan, Tasha, Lana

Michaela, Micah

Which makes you the 29th grandchild born from your father's side.

I know that's a lot of names to remember, but luckily you have daddy's brains ;)

The real hero of my birth - Mommy

Without a doubt my mommy is much more braver than my dad when it comes to giving birth. She did it with a smile on her face.

Thank you for carrying me for 9months mommy.

Michaela & Micah meet Malachi

I cannot put to words the excitement Michaela & Micah had on our way to the hospital to meet their baby brother (made a video for you)... they could not stop kissing and touching you. Even putting them to bed earlier they still kept on talking about their baby brother. Micah even said "Dad, can I tell you something... Malachi is so cute".

They even wore there special t-shirts just for you that says "Here comes the sun".

The day outside

The day you were born it was a beautiful sunny windless day outside.

 

My feet and details...

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.

Welcome home Micah

 

Daddy, Michaela and Milo was very excited to have Micah come home - Milo even blew up his own balloons :)

Baby anti-theft

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.
