An efficient Baby!

Apparently, our little man is an efficient baby! He was weighed on Friday, and now weighs over 4kgs, which is about 9 pounds now...

Just wanted to say Happy New Year for everyone and I hope you have an awesome night! Although I get to see 2007 before most my family....

see ya

Almost two weeks on...

Well, I don't know if this is the sleep deprivation speaking or what, but I'm still infuated with this little bundle of joy. It's funny how quick everything has changed. I used to think nappies (diapers) were the scariest thing but believe me, if all I had to do was nappies, I'd be glad for it.

Being with Ezekiel 24 hours a day, its hard to notice the changes, but Meg thinnks he has grown a bit. His hands and feet and getting bigger, she thinks and his face is getting fuller. It's a good think we've been documenting him with pictures so that you can compare for yourself. Its just amazing how in such a short time, he's already changed from what he was on December 14th, when he came out crying and screaming....well, he still cries and screams...but you know what I mean.

I was talking with Ryan Monson and he thought I was still "twitterpated" or whatever because I just love him so much but then I realised..."is Ryan the benchmark for what I should be feeling. I highly doubt it...

So, two weeks on, I still am over the moon with this little bundle of joy, and all that comes along with him.

Now the fluff is over and here's the reason anybody comes to this blog anyways...the PICTURES!!!!

Always one for the camera!!!


Sure, I can pose for a picture with my aunt Dana. This isn't so bad...

Hang on...aunt Sam? I have HOW MANY aunts and uncles???

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

Our little man is a week old!

Now you can also click HERE to check out a little video of Zeke. Pretty cute, I think.

Shhh, we're resting...

HUMPERDINCK: I've got my country's five hundredth anniversary to plan, my wedding to arrange, my wife to murder, and Guilder to frame for it. I'm swamped.

RUGEN: Get some rest -- if you haven't got your health, you haven't got anything

Get some rest...thats what we've been needing these past couple days...Meg especially, so I think its pretty good that I'm able to stay at home and help her out.

Our first night went pretty good. We put him down about 11:30 and he woke up again at 4 and then again at 8...Meg said it was a better sleep than she'd been getting.

Well, I just wanted to say that all is well and we're happy to be home in our own environment.
I think Ezekiel is happy about it too.

More pictures (and possible video) soon..

I'm home!

Hey everyone!

Firstly, I just gotta say that I have a pretty cool name. "Ezekiel Jaymz" Don't you think its cool? My Mum & Dad told me that they got the name from a book in the Bible but didnt just name me it cause its a book of the Bible but cause they thought it was a really cool name. I think they did a good job at picking my name and I really like the way they spelt "Jaymz," that was Mum's idea. There have been a few people though that have asked my Mum & Dad how to pronounce my name cause they have never heard it before and people have asked where we got the name from. I dont think that some people know its a book in the Bible.

Anyways...

I'm finally home. Mum and I were getting tired of being in hospital but today the doctor said we were allowed to go home cause I'm not looking yellow anymore and I'm starting to put on weight and my mummy's blood pressure has come down a little bit so now we're at home.

I was a really good boy on the way home and didnt cry at all when Dad put my in my flashy new car seat and I stayed asleep the whole way home and even when they took me inside. I did manage to get a glimpse of my new home and it looks pretty cool!

My Gramma & Poppa in Canada bought me this awesome hammock and when my Mum put me in there before after a drink I went straight to sleep. It's really comfy!

So my Mum has posted some more pictures of me on here.

One of the pictures is of me and my uncle Miah. He's only 3 years old! I think that's pretty young to be an uncle but it will be cool when I can play with him in a couple years time! He was sooo happy to meet me and said that I'm really cool! He kept wanting to hold me all the time but he could only hold me two times cause there were so many other aunty and uncles wanting to have a hold of me! Uncle Miah needed some help to hold me though, cause Mummy thought that he'd hurt my head. So my Granpa/Pop/Poppy/Poppa (I havent worked out what I'm gonna call him yet) was helping Uncle Miah keep my head up.



Oh yeah and there's another one of me lookin' pretty cute!

I'll write again later.

Ezekiel Jaymz Dyck :D

and I've got more!

There you go....

Can't wait until we get this little bundle home into his own home.

Not even 24 hours old...and already an internet phenomenon!!!

I was pretty surprised to see that in the span of a few short hours, I had gotten 9 comments to my last blog with those pictures. So, here's some more for you.

Finally!

Here they are!
The world exclusive first pics of our new Baby!
Ezekiel Jaymz, born 7lb 14oz on December 14th, 7:18PM
Both Mom and Bub are doing fine, resting and recuperating.
keep posted for more updates...

A touch of the Great White North

Just saw a couple things these past couple days that made me smile.

I walked into our local IGA just the other day, and I saw a guy standing there with a Leafs shirt on. Toronto Maple Leafs. I didn't say anything to him about cheering for the Maple Laughs. I just smiled and walked on. Being a Leafs fan, I doubt he even knows what the Stanley Cup looks like. I'll bet if I held up three flashcards, one with a picture of the Cup, one with a duck and one with the Batman symbol, he wouldn't be able to choose the Cup. Hey, I'd even give him three chances but he'd probably pick the duck twice.

And the other thing...I was watching TV and I saw an ad for a new show being shown this Friday night...guess what it was? Corner Gas! Can you believe it? Crazy, I know. Aussies don't even know what a redneck is, so I doubt this will be a big hit...but I'll watch it if I can.

And...another thing, I just remembered, I was talking to a guy the other day at work, and he had the most obvious thickest Canadian accent. I mean, you could've mistaken him for Doug Mackenzie. I half expected a "Take off, eh?" or "Pass me the two four, hosehead" from him. He was actually from a little town called Natal, in the Crows Nest Pass, which is now defunct and has been amalgamated with the hip and happening town of Sparwood, a whole 3000 member population. But he's been here 30 years...hasn't lost a bit of his accent. I'll bet HE'LL be watching Corner Gas.

Its good to know there are a few Canadian touches over here every now and then...

Take a Guess

Hello all! Unfortunately no exciting baby news...already this baby clearly isnt co-operating as it was suppose to come yesterday...actually i've been expecting it to arrrive for the past 4 weeks. It's obvious that the baby has other plans! Any guesses as to when you think it'll arrive!?
