After a marathon of days and nights I'm very pleased to announce the safe arrival of our little son Jamie, born this morning 29/2/12 @ 6:41am and weighing 3lb 13oz. My partner Emma has had a very problematic pregnancy but delivered naturally exactly 2 months to the day before the due date.

 

 

Due to this he was whizzed straight off upto Intensive Care, which is where he will stay in the safest hands for at least 6 weeks.

 

Its been a scary few weeks with so many ups and downs, an emotional rollercoaster and been up since 5am yesterday, so really best get some sleep.

 

Emma will be staying in hospital for a good few days whilst they keep close checks on her, so I'll be forwards and back looking after the family, house and cats lol.

 

We were kind of hoping he would arrive before midnight, but a leap year baby is pretty cool and every 4 years his birthday is going to be so very special.

 

And I can honestly say I've never been so happy :thumbup1:

cheers guyz :thumbup:

thats such a shame Rich, every single one of them do an absolutely cracking job, and deserve lots of money from it. They are saving lives after all :(

Just logged in to see what is going on and saw your news Baz, hope everything goes O.K.. Dave.

Cheers Dave, everythings going fine and the consultant and doctors are happy with his x-rays and progress, as he was 9 weeks early they are just being extra careful and keeping a constant watchful eye. :yes:

Congratulations Baz mate , wishing you every joy and happiness to you and your family ,
