World - here I am!!!

27 October 2008 - a great day indeed - this is the day I came rushing into this world and announced myself by totally and utterly astonishing the medical profession. Yip! Hardly breathing fresh (well, as fresh as it can be in a city) air, and I looked around and asked the midwife, Heather - "Does anybody here have a solution for the current economic crisis or should I just start screaming?" Daddy almost fainted. Mommy just smiled knowingly and thought to herself "See, only clever babies can kick THAT hard!"

I was born to my loving parents Henk and Glenda Marais at 5 minutes to 11, a healthy little guy of 4.28 kilograms! Mommy again did the natural waterbirth thing, and took no drugs! Eish wena - and you blame me for listening when she talks!!

My name is Liam Marais, and this is my story. This is what I looked like very soon after I was born.



I do apologise for forgetting to shave.

Heather (http://www.birth2baby.co.za/) helped my mommy with the birth - she is a qualified midwife and my mommy cannot stop singing her praises. Below is a screenshot of my announcement on her website. I would too, except I cant sing yet. Duh, only a BABY still you know!

Cute? Of course I'm cute! Don't make me scream okay!

Keep on watching my blog to keep up with me as I grow up and become a Blue Bulls supporter.

It was nice to meet you!
