Deck the halls!

Arturo was born at 6.21 this morning. When I woke up at something past 8 am and saw the SMS I was so excited I almost started crying. I rang the father, assuming mum would be zonked out (correct assumption for once!) and he told me that both were doing fine although they had to give her a Caesarean as the baby was getting a bit distressed, after about 8 hours labour.

Later this afternoon I rang her and had a chat. She was doing well, but she is being given painkillers so she's a bit stoned. She sent me a picure taken a few hours after birth... He's gorgeous!

I can't wait to go and see him, I might sneak a day or two off before the end of September when I've already booked the flight. In the meantime I foresee a spree on baby clothes. Coochie coochie coo!
