It's a boy!

Welcome to this crazy world, Benjamin Alexander.

Born 17 February 2010 at 12:21pm after a 4 hour 21 minute labour (for a first baby?!)

weight: 3.7kg  (8lb 3oz)

length: 49.5cm (19.5 inches)

You look a lot like your daddy and only a little like your mummy. 


P.S. Happy 76th birthday, Gran. You couldn't ask for a better present!!

  9. Congratulations and blessing on the little one.

    I've been watching eagerly, went away babysitting for a while and he arrived!

    Being a grandma is lovely. I enjoy my five grandchildren very much and it's hard to believe the eldest has just turned eleven. It seems no time since he was little like Benjamin.
