Our little boy was born about 11:30 last night, after a mercifully short labour which was brought about with one of these (an ultrasound in the afternoon showed it Was Time). We’ll probably call him Jethro, and he’s a bit over 9 pounds.
Home today, after just 13 hours in the hospital and everyone is well and very happy.
Some more photos up now at my flickr page for anyone feeling clucky.
Except this otter, which is the best I could do at the moment.
The photo is by
eilidhmacaskill at flickr, using the handy flickr “blog this photo” thingy – follow the link on her name below to see all manner of animal cuteness.
At Nabakov’s excellent (and until now ignored) suggestion, the first and in all likliehood final crazybrave Name that prune! competition is announced.
The baby allegedly due one week from today is apparently male. There’s a shortlist of about ten names on the fridge so far and nothing settled. I keep finding people have written new and ridiculous ones up there – most lately Owen’s effort “Fontaine”, which is very nearly the most heterosexually challenged name I have ever encountered.
The baby’s surname starts with “A” and the initials “Z”, “O” and “S” are taken. Knock yourselves out …
