A personal article this one…
Rachael gave birth to Esmé Faith this morning (26th July 2008 ) at 4:20 AM BST. She weighed 7lb 2oz, for those looking for metric measurements please go to Brussels where you will (unlike here) be welcomed.
Mother and baby are doing fine. Kate (2 years, 2 months old) is running around saying “You must go to sleep! Don’t wake the baby.” Followed by bellows of “SILENCE!” I don’t know where she got that from.
On a technical aspect, I was impressed with the midwifery team, as soon as the baby was built they ran all the unit tests (developed before the baby was, naturally) and could easily indicate a successful build.
