First Bath

We gave Noah his first bath (at home) tonight & he loved it! Along with the movie above we have added some photos to the Photo Album.

Noah is home

Naomi & Noah came home on Friday afternoon so we have spent the weekend playing family. He already sleeps through the entire night. Its just amazing. We all get up around 10am and have a long leisurely breakfast over the weekend papers, before going out into Basel town for lunch and a little shopping or visit to a museum. Then dinner and a movie.

Well I think thats what happened. Amongst all the nappy changing & burping I lost track.

Noah Photos

I put some pictures of Noah in the Photo Album. He is just amazing!

Noah Duckworth

Just a quick one - Naomi went into labor yesterday and at 17:23 gave birth to a beautiful little boy! Noah is 3.895kg and 51cm long. I'll put some pictures up soon.

Both are doing really well.

Still pregnant

Seven days to go - and yes, I'm starting to feel that its time this baby vacated (judging by the look on my face). Although I think for both of us its now more a case of just wanting to meet this new person and start a life with it!

Tick tock, tick, tock...

Only a mere 13 days to go...Am I ready...not really. There is some truth in what is said about the last few weeks of pregnancy, it gets a little tedious, weight starts to go up, hands/feet swell a little bit and one generally just has to play the waiting game. On one hand, its about preparing oneself to say goodbye to the 'growth' that has been accompanying one everywhere for the past nine months...on the other, its about preparing oneself to meet the 'person' thats been developing - definitely a much more exciting prospect!
So the waiting game it is. Ben is very ready and is making sure my last couple of weeks are filled with rest (because not working for a year I didn't get any rest) and as a result he has been ordering me to do nothing - I can't even remember when I last cooked a meal - but he's been truly fabulous - definitely great 'dad' material (phew!).
