Blake came along with much less effort than with Elise. Jen started having contractions at 5:30am, we were at the hospital by 2pm and he was born at 2:50pm. PB was back home to make dinner by 5pm and bring Elise over to meet her new brother.
Weighing Blake up - 3718g or 8.03lbs.
Very lively already at the post-birth checks.
Jen calls up the relatives to le them know all's well.
A little late deep breathing.
Elise was very keen to come over and see Mum and her new brother.
Off to sleep out in the cold.
Ah - so nice to get rid of that load.
Big smiles all around - now we've got something new to cuddle we can get rid of all that cat fur.
All happy and relieved.
Elise is exhausted after being up late at the hospital.
Very happy to have little Blake home.
Very keen to cuddle and help out.
The little guy's a bit stinky already, but he likes his bath.
