It’s not often I write much personal stuff here but this is a BIG one.
At 02:02 on 21st March our baby boy was born. He was 54cm in length and weighed 6lb 13oz.
Both Jo and Rudi are doing great!
Here’s a bit of video taken yesterday of him on his changing mat getting used to his surroundings and having a sneeze
