f365: Day 332

The biggest day of the year for us, in fact probably the biggest day of our lives! Also one of the longest days we've both ever experienced.

We welcomed Jonathan Christopher Green into the world today. Even though he was a week early, he took his time making his first appearance into the world.

It started at 1.30am this morning with Jenn's labour starting. We were at hospital not too much long after and after several painful hours of contractions, Jenn had an epidural. That took the pain away for most of the day. Finally at 5pm, he was on his way. 

He was born at 6.37pm tonight and weighed in at a pretty hefty 4.3 kgs, or 9.6 lbs in the old terms (and 51 cm long). Here is a photo of him (he had some initial monitoring due to fluid in his lungs but he is fine now), as well as one of him and his mum Jenn.

I am now off work for two weeks, but it promises to be very interesting.
