Some of you reading this will by now know of the very late arrival of baby Simon. For those that don't, now you do....
So, here I am at the helm of the blog once again, I do this once every new baby to make myself feel useful. I'm not as soft and snuggly as mum and I don't have boobs, so there isn't much else for me to do for the next few weeks.....or so I'm told...
I'm very pleased to announce the arrival of Baby Simon James Hawley, this is his full title, which he goes by if you ask his big brother Ollie. For the rest of us it's simply Simon, (that's "simply" not "simple", Bernie!)
He was born at 14:06 on Saturday 22nd November and weighed in at a reasonable 9lb 3oz. Most would consider this large, but after Emma (9lb 13oz) Simon seems like a bit of a light weight.
Everything went very well.....eventually. Rachael was admitted to the hospital on Saturday morning after we received the phone call instructing us to come in at 06:00. Rachael had originally been booked for induction on the Friday, however we were told there was no room at the inn and we had to wait to be called in.
Ollie and Emma came to the hospital for a visit last night with Nannie Frances and Grandad Bernie and were very excited to finally meet their new baby brother. Ollie was desperate to give him a "two arm hug and a kiss", let him know that he doesn't need to worry because "he is going to take care of him", and lastly that..... "he doesn't have much hair!" Emma simply stated that "he was cuuute" then because of being in a strop with her mean daddy, almost whacked little simon over the head with her shoe.....nice.....this is going to be great fun!
Thanks to everyone for your well wishes, flowers, cards and everything else, Rachael I am sure will be updating this before too long, I just wanted to get some pictures up of the new fella for all too see.
Thats all from me...hopefully I will be able to get some pictures uploaded....until next time......
