ARRIVAL!!!!
At last he's here. And well worth the wait.
Arthur Donald List
A whopper at 9lb 6 ounce (thats 4.26kg to those living in the modern world). Dark hairy hair and cute as can be (for those who entered the sweepstake, while a few picked the 27th, no noe really got close on any other front).
Was looking like another few days wait, but the visit to the mid-wife today at the hospital turned into a quick consultation of the specialist who declared that c-section was the way to go for us. Luckily there was a gap in the diary so we managed to get in today (which all seemed a bit surreal and more like making a dentist appointment that birthing a child) and hey presto, there he is!
At that size it is no wonder that he had to be a caesarian.
Judge for yourself, but he looks pretty similar to Frank at this point, so bound to be a very handsome young fella.
Mum and young Arthur both doing just fine though and been left for a well deserved snooze tonight while Dad has a well deserved beer, uploads some photos and sends a couple of texts.
More here to follow in next few days!!
