Daniel arrives...

What a day!

We checked into Park Lane Clinic at 8 am this morning. The inducer drip was rigged up, and then we waited and waited... It took many hours before anything really started to happen - at about mid afternoon. Kim was a SUPERSTAR, again, taking it all in her stride.

Daniel arrived at 16h19 without much fuss or hassle despite being 10 days early. Lots of brown hair and a loud scream which is always a good sign (I am told). Here are a few pictures. He weighs in at 3.7 kg's and 56 cm's long. All healthy and Kimbo is doing fine.

Without taking anything away from the NHS which provided a smooth delivery of Josh for free (less our taxes) we can honestly say that the medical equiptment and service we received in South Africa was first rate and first world. Quite a contrast to the "suck some gas and push approach". Kim will explain the details, I was a mere observer!

I cant wait to get back to Park Lane tomorrow to introduce Joshua to young Daniel.

Take care and thanks for all the well wishes.
