Well folks, after nine long months I finally welcomed my child into the world today.

Whilst not officially named, it's likely he'll be named 'Ewan'.

My wife is an utter champion, after a 16 hour labor, which finished up in an attempted 'face first' delivery, followed there after by an emergency caesar, both mum and bub are doing well. It was all terribly emotional, but I'm proud of my little boy and his mum.

I thought I'd post a pic to let you all see him. I think I may post more in the coming weeks, months and years, so I'll apologise in advance

Thanks for the nice thoughts and comments everyone

Mum is recoverig quick, but still a bit sore and bub is a happy camper, with the black eye he was born with going away nice and fast (honest, he had it to start with :lol:

)

I'll pass on you comments to my wife Beth.

Thanks again! (and now, off to the hospital)

Raskill,
Missed out this thread! :oops:

Congrats!
Is $3K baby bonus cheque arrived yet? :lol:

Posted: **Mon May 29, 2006 10:52 am**

Not yet. I think if I mention your name and the cheque in the one sentance to the wife, I'll be paying child support for the rest of my life. On the other hand if I say nothing and just......

....no, that would be naughty. All I need is a Tokina 12-24 and an Sb800 and I have everything I need, until next week that is.

Thanks for the congrats!

Posted: **Mon May 29, 2006 11:07 am**

Congratulations to you and Beth, Alan.

I would think that after a 16 hour labour, it's more likely that Mrs B is going to use the baby as a bargaining chip! :lol:

Congratulations to you both & welcome little Ewan!
