Jack William Rigby has [finally] made his grand entrance to the world, at 16:02 today (Wednesday 4th February), weighing in at 8lbs 13oz, delivered eventually by C-Section.
I'll explain more in the morning and try to get a picture up here of him, but I didn't get back home until 23:30 and I'm waiting for a pizza to burn cook, as I'm starving!
I take back all that I said about women in labour and all that - Claire has definitely not had an easy time of it today, but she's had the patience of a Saint, along with the bravery and strength that has made me even more proud.
The staff, particularly the midwife and student-midwife that were with us non-stop all day, were just fantastic. Ironically, the midwife and student-midwife were 'assigned' our baby to deliver, as the student-midwife needed a 'straight forward case' for her first delivery...! Well, she certainly got more than she bargained for, I can tell you! (More in the morning)
That must mean that it is Mr. Kanwal that takes the jackpot prize of the £25 for the sweepstake at work! Well done matey! And to think, he was quite gutted when he picked the last available day on the list!!
