Gary and Liz,

This message will be almost as belated as Sophie’s arrival, but congrats! Saw a very cute pic of the three of you on Elaine’s flickr site, glad you’re all well although 43 hours sounds a bit of an ordeal.

I got a text about the baby when I was on the Trans Mongolian heading back to Beijing, so I told the rest of the carriage the happy news. When I told them the weight, everyone seemed to instinctively cross their legs, groaning slightly!

So well done to you Liz, you’re a brave soldier!

Lots of love,
Les xxx

Are you up yet?

We’re both doing that “to the outside world we look like functioning human beings but inside our brains are toffee” thing just now :)

Are you up yet? Many congratulations to you all and good luck. I can vouch for that fact that 11lbs is indeed two babies as mine came 15 minutes apart and weighed 5lbs 3oz and 5lbs 11 oz together! Fantastic. Good on you.

Congrats to you, and all the best for the Big Adventure. If I’d known about the prenatal period I could have pointed you at the useful glossary of birth-giving terminology on my site at http://normanlamont.typepad.com/writing/2007/05/give_it_a_wide_.html. Oh well it’ll come in handy next time!

I got addicted to garden centres before I became a dad. They’re the best shops in the world. And gardening is even better than being in a band.

I must say congratulations to the both of you.

Shed catalogues or garden centres?!

It turns out I got my sums wrong – it was 43 hours, not 46. Which makes a whole world of difference, I’m sure :)

Looks like Dadness is kicking in big style – I listened to and enjoyed a play on Radio 4 the other night, and despite a lifelong hatred of Led Zep I heard the Robert Plant/Alison Krauss collaboration and thought it was great. Won’t be long before my idea of a good time involves browsing shed catalogues, I suspect.

Congrats to both of you. 46 hours definately don’t think I could have coped with the wife in labour that long. Glad everythng is well with all of you. Good luck to you all in the future. Give us a phone. Hunter.

She is absolutely gorgeous. I’ve just shown the photo to all the girls in work and I think they’re all broody now!

Mother an baby are both amazing and the Dad’s ok too!
