The baby has arrived! I don’t remember if I told you that Laurie’s older sister, Coralie is pregnant? Well, she isn’t anymore. Last evening was spend in the living room with each member of my host family holding tight to their cell phone, with the TV playing in the back ground as we waited to hear if the time had really come. It was with much exclamation that we learned that it had and she was really going into labor. We went to bed with the news and my host mom woke us up at 3:00 in the morning with the first picture of a healthy baby boy. Today after school I made the acquaintance of little Noha (pronounced like ‘Noah’) for the first time, and while I would love to show you a picture I’ll abstain from putting pictures of someone else’s baby all over the internet.
To make up for the lack, I’ll give you a description of the precious little bundle who barely cries at all. He has quite the head of hair for such a little thing, and, except for his mouth, takes almost entirely after his dad. He peeped his eyes open while we were there, clearly still groping with the new reality which was busy cooing at him. His dad was tired and his mom more so (since it was a caesarian and she’s still recovering) but they were both in fine form as new parents. All I could think while I held little Noha after we arrived was how lucky I am to be taken into a family like this for just four months. It was a privilege to be privy to a scene like this one and I know Noha is going to be one lucky little boy.
Joyeux Anniversaire, little one!
