Angus Owen Punton Hamlyn was born yesterday at 2:39pm. At 7lb 4oz Angus seems a contented little fella. Lesley's also doing fine after a grueling 38 hours labour. Hopefully she got some sleep last night - she'd been awake for 63 hours when I had to leave the hospital with all the other dads.
Had my first lesson in bathing a baby last night - every detail imprinted on my memory through a ritual both perfunctory and profound.
Congrats Jim
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Jim and Lesley! I'm moved by the video to an unexpected degree. I am moved by the incredibly sincere tenderness which your filming transmits in just sixteen seconds. It almost feels like you are carefully lifting up little Angus Owen with the trembling camera.
ReplyDeleteAngus Owen Punton Hamlyn is a really good name! He looks wonderful! Please send him my regards; Välkommen!
I wish Lesley a speedy recovery and a good rest from the labour and hope all is well. He's calling for you to carry him up the hills and mountains to get some views.
hello hello Angus Owen Punton Hamlyn. You are miraculous to behold. Awesome name to boot :D

Congratulations to both of you! A tiny well-formed miracle of life, and a testament to how time flies! Feels like only yesterday Lesley posted your first sonogram of Angus. Hope you're all happy and healthy. Give my best to the new mother as well :)
ReplyDeleteHi Sean, Tor, Theresa and Uncle Tom!
ReplyDeleteThank You all.
Lesley and Angus are doing great - they've kept them both in the hospital just to keep an eye on Lesley - she was lookin a wee bit peely-wally (am I allowed to say that as an Englishman? Och aye I am, I'm the dad of a weegie after all!) Hopefully they'll both be home today.
congratulations both of you.
