Baby was born at 7:38am this morning, weighing 7 pounds and 14 ounces. Jo's water broke at about 5 yesterday and she was in labour through the night. She managed the pain really well until about midnight, then demanded an epidural and got two (the first didn't work). Epidurals hamper the ability to "push", so baby was yanked out of Jo by forceps. He has marks on his face but I don't think he minds, and they'll be gone in a couple of days. He hasn't cried much but has shown himself to be an expert at breastfeeding.

I have photos!

I also have a brief video!

I must now find baby clothes, have a bath, hopefully get a bit of sleep, and be back at the hospital for 3pm when visiting hours start!

Oh yes. We have no idea what we're calling him yet.
