Our great news: Louis is here!

<-- Louis at the weigh in: 4.155kg (9lbs 3ounces)

Being stretched to 56cm (22in) wearing nothing but a fig leaf -->



Woke up with Marie having contractions, which were rapidly picking up. Rushed breakfast, kissed bye to grandma Baka and Ollie.

Arrived at the hospital at about 9am and 4cm, then got into a room after Marie started swearing. Morphine and gas helping somewhat. Papa had very civilised lunch brought in. Got the eppy sometime after 2pm, and then even had a power nap. Being the only people on the ward at the time, we had all the doctors and nurses coming through at various times.

At roughly 4pm, we were ready to start pushing and at 5.05pm, Louis arrived! We got to see him at last. Everyone was happy and healthy apart from a few stitches, and a squished up screaming bub.
