A little girl!

I know I said I would post more last week but everything happened so fast and I didn't have access to my Mac so...

We had a baby girl. At 5:44PM on September 5, little Lenaya Margaret Bailie was brought into the world. She weighed 9 lbs 2 oz at birth and has all 10 fingers and all 10 toes.

Here she is.


Both Mother and Baby are doing well. We all came home from the hospital on Saturday afternoon and Lenaya had her first public appearance on Saturday evening at our neighborhood block party.

Cheers.

Contractions every five minutes...

My wife just called with contractions every 5 minutes.

She's calling the hospital right now to see what she should do.

More news later when I get some.

False labour?

My wife reported this morning that she was in 'false labour'. It began at about 3AM, and the reason it's called false labour is that while the contractions were pretty much equally spaced, they were of different durations.

In real labour, the contractions are evenly spaced but get consistently longer, this wasn't the case.

Still, this false labour may be a precursor to real labour? Let's hope so.

More news as I get it...

Hmm... Redux

No more activity I'm afraid.

We thought that might have been it yesterday but nope.

So we're still holding for launch!

Interesting evening last night. I went for drinks with the other Systems people from my company. As mentioned earlier a lot of people have been laid off, so last night when I was out with them I realized that of the 13 people that were there, I was the only one that didn't have a job with the company after November. Felt a little odd I have to say.

More soon.

Hmm...

My wife just emailed and reported pelvic pressure...

Is today the day...?

Let's see how good medical science is shall we?

Regular readers (right) will know that my lovely wife is pregnant.

We've been expecting a new addition any time now, but the Doctors all said that the due date was September 2. The other two children we have had together have been a few days early and that's what we expected this time too but no, this one is reluctant to debut.

So let's see when it actually happens shall we?

Later.
