It's a Boy!

At 3:05 this afternoon, on Helen's birthday, this young feller was born at home and under water. He weighed 8lb 5oz and we're not sure of a name yet so I'm calling him "Untitled 2". Mother and son are both doing well, and Holly is a very keen - and endearing - big sister. This picture shows him 6 minutes after emerging into the world of sound and light, and he doesn't seem too pleased about it. Click the picture for more. Since then, he's had a feed and a nap and a nappy change, and seems much more chilled out. Long may it continue, we're off to bed. It's been an eventful day.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

What fantastic news! A little boy, isn't that the best thing ever? Boys are great!

Also from what I can make out, sounds like Helen's water birth at home was a success!

Wow! We're so happy for you.

Lots of love, the Ballingers.

Peabody and Sodpot say he (and Holly of course) can come round and play with their toys any time.

Loads of love from Marie, Ed and the small furry objects.
