[#1912745]

Daughter, Beatrice Marion Eleanor, was born just after 2.30pm today (via planned c-section). She had a bit of a shaky start (needing some help breathing) and is only tiny (5lbs 8oz), but she's a beautiful little thing and just the ray of innocent happiness that Mrs North and I needed right now.

I take my hat off to Mrs North, as always; she's the most ace person ever. And now I have two of them

OMITN (happiest man alive right now!)

😀 😀 😀

Only a twitpic one so far: [url] http://twitpic.com/2g9p22 [/url].

Poor little thing has a bit of a squished nose from being stuck inside Mrs North at a funny angle. Will straighten out soon enough. Otherwise she'll look just like her Dad.

So you decided not to go with 'Kid Dynamite' then? I'll just put that down to the fact that you're probably tired and a bit emotional right now. Still time to change your mind...

Best job in the world, though the pay could be better. I'd put a emoticon here, but there's not one with a big enough grin.

Well done mrs OMITN. Don't worry 'bout size. Both ours were under 6lbs. Both are happy and healthy. Congratulations

Congratulations!

I am very happy for you both (all three) and I am, I have to admit, very envious. Hopefully Mrs. Willard and I will be joining the ranks of the STW parents' club.

Now, what tyres for a baby carrier?
