At midnight last night my wife started to get more frequent contractions. The baby was thought to come sometime Friday but it´s her first child so couple of days more me thinks.

After wandering around the house till 3 am the contractions were every other minute and intense. So off to the labour (not christiandecocrat

) ward. Water went about 6 am and lots of heavy contractions. The midwife said that it was okay to scream if it helped not to push down till it was deemed necesary (won´t bore you with the mechanics

)....... So I screamed...... and the midwife said that she meant the wife

After a lot of pushing and shuving the wife producted a bouncing boy at 10:02 am. He´s well formed (apart from the large flappy Cranston ears) and after a quite meal supplied by his mother, dozed off

Will see if this son is more into motors than my other two sons

Name etc:

Brian Lewis (thanks Lewis always liked that name) Cranston

18th April 2010 at 10.02 am. 3230 grammes (dry weight

). 51 cm long.
