The 6-year-old was sleeping when is mom, Heather Kiger, woke up in labor.

She told Noah to call Daddy, who was out of town for work. When he didn’t answer, his mom realized she needed to help her deliver the baby at home.

“I gave towels to Mommy and made sure the door was unlocked,” said Noah.

He helped his mom lay towels and pillows down in the living room, and continued to call his father.

In the meantime, he woke up his 4-year-old sister, Diana Grace for support. She sat in the chair near her mother.

“I remember one time I had a contraction and I made a noise and I didn’t want him to think him squeezing my hand hurt and he said I know it is the baby,” said Heather.

Once baby Isaac arrived, Noah called 911 and then used his shoe lace to tie off the umbilical cord.

Paramedics arrived 10 minutes later to find a 6 lbs. 11 oz. baby boy, a healthy mom, and a heroic 6-year-old boy.

Expectant mom Naomi Watts bundles up in Isabella Oliver’s Grace Coat as she strolls home with a friend in NYC. The actress, 40, and her partner Liev Schreiber expect their second child this winter.

When placed next to a crib, the unit can tell if a baby is stressed, annoyed, bored, sleepy or hungry by converting its cries into digital sound waves which are quickly analysed against hundreds of samples stored in its memory. A reading is given within 20 seconds.

Research done at hospitals in the UK has proven the monitor to be 98 per cent accurate when results are crosschecked with a checklist of babies’ body language, which comes with the product.

While this all sounds good, I have a hard time believing that this monitor can decode what is wrong with a baby.

The one mood that this monitor leaves out is ‘just because’. Babies don’t always cry for a reason, which is why I have a hard time believing that this machine, that retails for £59.99, is sophisticated enough to decipher this.

In an interview with Britain’s morning show GMTV, the new mom admitted that,

“It’s very hard. I stopped at three months, [it was] about as much as I could do.”

The actress, 33, who was in London promoting her film The Changeling with her partner Brad Pitt in tow and their four-month-old twins, Knox Léon and Vivienne Marcheline, said she even resorted to manuals on the subject.

“There’s this football hold – it’s a lot harder than it looks in the books,” she says in the prerecorded interview at her London hotel on Monday. “I did that a few times. I would take turns. It just takes a long time.”

Now they are regarded as a ‘one in a million’ family by experts because the first set of twins - Grace and Ruby - are non-identical while the latest arrivals - Isla Mae and Isobel - are identical.

All four girls were conceived naturally, without the need for any IVF treatment, and there is no history of twins in their families.

Debbie Ross, membership manager of the Twins and Multiple Birth Association, described the Pearson family’s two sets of twins as ‘practically unheard of.’

‘The chance of having non-identical twins is one in 67 while the chance of having identical twins is about one in 1,000′, she said.

‘But the chances of having two sets of twins, identical and non-identical, must be one in a million. You will find very few families who have a pair of identical twins and a pair of non-identical twins.’

Non-identical twins Grace (7lb 6oz) and Ruby (7lb 8oz) were born on December 9, 2005 - although the twist was that the girls look identical.

Identical twins Isla Mae (7lb 6oz) and Isobel (8lb 6oz) were born on August 26 this year.

Both sets of twins arrived at 38 weeks pregnancy, arriving by caesarean section three minutes apart.

The amazing nature of this family’s situation has caused them to ‘minor celebrities’ where they live in Colchester, Essex.

Adel says:

‘I can barely go out now, me and the girls are like celebrities. I can’t go shopping without somebody stopping me and wanting a look at the girls.

‘I try to dress them differently but everyone sees through it. People are just fascinated and have so many questions to ask.’
