The wait is over
Just a mega quick post with the abridged version of events this weekend. If we can remember the full-blown version then I'll post it up, there are some horror stories in there and some nice moments too. But it is true, I've forgotten the horror moments as I type with a son of 6 hours old.
Yes, we have a little boy. For the standard statistics it went like this:
Duration - 30 hours, induced as waters broke with no contractions
Method: Section, after giving up on a natural birth after 24 hours of labour. Short wait for theatre, hour in, hour recovery, all over just after noon.
Weight: 7lb 7 oz in old money.
Name: Iain Rowan, named after nobody, anything or anywhere, so don't ask
Length: 53 cms
Scores: 8 then a 9. Child genius
Mother and baby doing well, though mother is very tired.
The Fat Lady is no longer. Long live MOTS (Mother of the son)!

Well done, and congratulations from myself, Mr Bleeding Eyes and Fingers, and the fiancee.
Great to hear that everyone is doing well, although obviously very tired...

Sorry guys but Grannie Curtis has had her own head wetting today. Thank you Lee and Deborah for the precious gift of a grandson. Can't wait to give him a big cuddle. Take care.

Thanks guys (& gals)! Deborah is chuffed by the number of well wishes coming in. Sure Iain is too, still trying to work out what each grimmace means when I speak to him. Either he's happy to hear you're pleased he's here & well or he's got bad wind. Positive it's the former!
If you haven't got the username & password to the album drop me a note, lost track of who has and hasn't yet with the weekend's events.

He's a little smasher!
