Baby Chuck was born safely at home at 2:31 am on Tuesday 25th October. Measurements as of today, at 6 days of age: 4750 grams (10 pounds 7 ounces), 59 cm long (23 inches), 39 cm head circumference (15 inches). Yeah, ouch is right.

Everyone's happy & healthy, and the photos are here if you want to have a look at him. And I'm enjoying being able to bend in the middle again.

An official name is yet to be decided but I reckon Chuck is going to stick as a nickname for the rest of his life.
