New Proto-biker arrived [Archive]

Strayjuliet and I are pleased to announce the only slightly-belated arrival of our daughter Inverness.

She was born at Waterford Birthing Centre, Hamilton, at 5:30 this morning, weighing in at 3640 grams (or a tad over 8 pounds) and merely three days late.

The proud parents are utterly exhausted and the cubs (aged 2 and 3) are quite entranced with their "baby 'ister".

Thanks to all our friends here who have asked us how things have been progressing and if she's arrived yet.

Cheers.

I hope he'll be providing pics soon.. but I suspect it may be a day or two.. Popped in to see him this evening and poor old Wolf is looking a bit shattered (I know I know, no sleep, 2 cubs to look after but juliet did all the work).

I've already said grats in person but I'll grats him again on here for posterity.. and so he doesnt kick my posterior :-)

Congrats Wolf and StrayJuliet - the baby should have held off for another day and then she would have been born on the turd of the turd like me!

Inverness is a pretty cool name, where did you get it from?
Happy Burfday, Beemer.

Inverness is named after her great-great grandmother (my great grandmother) who was named after the barque Inverness on account of being born on it en route to NZ. I presume the boat was named after the town in Scotland. There were a lot of other boats in service at the time starting with "Inver" such as the Inverene and others - must have been the fashion at the time to name boats after the mouths of Scottish rivers.

Instead, she was born on the "sickened of the turd"...

OK, Strayjuliet and Inverness are both back home after their stay in Waterford Birth Centre. At the moment all the kids are blissfully asleep.

Many thanks to all those well-wishers who have posted.

Edbear, how did the birth of your grandson go?

strayjuliet

3rd March 2006, 14:43

I was told I had to post the pics so here they are.
In case anyone asks: I'm beat, lol.

I was told labour got shorter each child you have. I thought that was true when Tangwyn was born after only an hour and a half labour then Inverness changed all that.

I went into labour on the 28th Feb at 9:30 pm and thought she would arrive not long after. Well boy, was I wrong.

She decided it would be best to wait till 2 march at 5:30am leaving me to labour till then. At 3am on the 2 march the contractions got down to 1 minute apart things were happening (finally) 2 and a half hours later she made her entrance into the world much to my relief. I will post more pics as I get them

My great grandparents came out on the Jura. Named after the Scotish island. There's a malt whiskey of the same name.

Congrts to all three of you. Always include baby in this ever since I read how much effort 'they' put into birthing. :grouphug:

I logged onto KB today to check a few things. Wolf did the same and informed me that he had been given some rep for this post about our new bundle of joy so I checked my rep: hmmmm, nope, no new rep for my beautiful baby girl or the pics I posted. I said "how come you got rep and I didn't?" His reply was: "Well, it's probably all the hard work I did."
I think a full, public apology is in order here.

I didn't have time to get the digi-cam ready before I replied so, sorry, there are no pics of her reaction. :doh: :brick:

You can take it from me, though, it was classic! :devil2:

We've been together over five years now, you'd think she'd know by now never to ask me a rhetorical question.

Well done to all of you! I've only just noticed the thread. Cute little one, but then they all are at that age, aren't they?

Amazing how much more work there is when another one comes along.

It hardly seems a year since Nicholas arrived, and now he's 80 cms long and 16 kgs... which apparently is rather big for a one-year-old.

Enjoy those first few days...

plenty of time for sleep when you're dead.

Yeah, I'm sure it's hard work for the husband to watch his beloved in pain. :oi-grr:

Let the record show that Strayjuliet did ALL the work....
all wolf did was sit back... and take pics....:whistle:

Strayjuliet, you rest up and enjoy the little one...:yeah:
Make his nibs get you a cuppa etc...:yeah:

Ps: check your rep.. there maybe a nice wee surprise waiting there for you...

Sorry, just caught up with this thread again. I posted a thread, "Well now I'm a Grandad!" with pics of little Aston. The birth went fairly well, though daughter was a total of 40hrs in labour! She's happy as can be now though as is Grandma! Your little girl is georgeous, Wolf! Congrats to you both! Everyone very well and doting on Aston. Here's another pic.

Congrats Edbear that's a cute wee chap. I think it's a grandparent's privilege to spoil the grandchildren, after all they get to give em back. It works really well if your daughter or son was a little devil when they were growing up, you can spoil the grandchild turn it into a fair little devil in order to get payback and revenge upon your children.

At least, that's what I suspect my mother is doing. :msn-wink:

Edbear

17th March 2006, 17:08

Our son... we used to say, "We hope you have six kids, all like you!" But he grew up to be a prety hard working laid back young man! He's 30 now, and married but no kids. Our daughter was the "perfect child", if there's any such thing! She always tried so hard to make us proud of her and really was a pleasure from the day she was born. No, I don't know what we did to deserve it either... All she ever wanted to be was a Mum and she's made us proud again. Youngest daughter was a breeze, by the third one you pretty much know what to do and you relax a lot more. She gets married in July, so we'll be "Darby and Joan" I guess, suffering from empty nest syndrome, etc. But yeah, we do dote on Aston, I'm home alone at the mo. cause wifey has taken our visiting friends around to see him. Giving birth is one of those things that make me glad I'm a guy... BUt seeing your own child born is an experience every man should have! Congrats again to you both.

Well lets be logical here... if he wasn't doing the 'hard' work then there wouldn't be a nipper for you to clean up after and get up in the middle of the night to look after :D
