Noah at home

Hi everyone,

Here some pictures from home, as Noah has been home for two and a half weeks now, and we are getting a little bit used to it. First of all some pictures from the house, which Anneke and my parents decorated! Hooray for decoration. Streamers, balloons and flowers everywhere when we came home.


Also the traditional stork, which delivers the babies.



As we said in the previous post, my parents came by to give us a hand, and entertain Noah. He really enjoyed it, and we also went for a short walk around in the neighborhood. My dad is very good at making Noah laugh.....


Here we are getting a bit more organized, as far as possible anyway.... Noah is enjoying playing with a wrapper for a suction tube. We have an enormous supply of these things, so it is easy to keep him entertained!


We try to go out for a walk everyday, and Lilo, our dog joins us on most of these walks. She got used to Noah very quickly, so no problems there.


Last one more picture of the boss, ordering us around!


More news later, I hope Louise will be able to write a bit. Quick facts: Noah seems to be growing a lot, he also seems hungry. We weighed him, on our big weighing scales, and he is around 9 kg (19 - 20 pounds) , 74 cm long (29 inches) and has three teeth. He is breathing quite a lot for himself, but his oxygen need seems a bit higher then in the hospital.
He is eating a bit more, although the apple-pear mix is an absolute favorite, the rest he is still a bit hesitant eating.

Well that is all for now, back to work!

Thijs

I love all the pics of Noah. Especially the laughing one. He has the best smile. I bet his laugh would sound great too. I just imagine what Kal's would sound like. It slowly gets easier. We still have lots of work with our monkey, but we are more organized and have a routine down. Paul and I take different nights caring for Kal.

Thanks for the update Noah looks great. Thinking of you always.
