Due today, he decided to arrive last Friday (4th) at 5.22pm. The happy parents only just got his nursery painted the night before, and carpeted that morning. We had instructed him not to arrive until after it was done. lol We had hoped for a little more time, but he wasn't waiting.
I knew he was going to be named Miles, but the middle name was a surprise for me. They named him Stuart after my Dad. Dad would have been as pleased as punch. :)
Here's the proud new Mum the morning after he was born...
The very proud Dad...
and the babe himself.
Thank you everyone for your good wishes. I have lots of comments to reply to, but have been far too busy to spend much time on the computer. I have been over to help out almost every day (8 hr shifts!) at DDs request. She didn't get to spend the 2 planned days in hospital - there were no available beds in the maternity ward and she was roomed in the delivery ward - NO sleep as far too noisy! - so she came home Saturday. She had a Midwife visit her each day - last time today - but she needed Mum to help set up the nursery and limit visitors. Hey, who was I to object? lol
What a lovely baby. Congratulations to you all.
