I'm a dad. I've just changed a nappy. Sha is looking at our baby with a big grin on her face. Edward oscillates between feeding, sleeping and crying. He was born by Caesarian section. I've just discovered from wikipedia that Caeser wasn't. Being present at a birth here is rather a full on experience. I was told to wear a heap of gowns, feet covers and a mask and then went in to the operating theatre. I got to take photos of the baby coming out and then cut the cord -- it's very tough. In a few minutes I'm going to demonstrate my skills at bathing a baby to Sha and her mum. I went on a 10 minute course this morning and so there's a small chance that I'll know what I'm doing. The course tomorrow is on breast feeding. I probably won't take such an active role in that.

So many people congratulated you on Facebook, but did they see this blogpost? You should point them to it! Love from Edward's grandparents!
