Little Kai was actually born on Saturday morning, but understandably updating my website wasn’t high on the priorities list. Kir went into labor at around 1am, waking me an hour and a half later when she was sure it wasnt just Bracston hicks. We arrived at the QE in Gateshead at about 5am and went straight into the delivery suite, things were starting to get painful for Kir now but she was a real trooper, I didn’t get shouted at once!

Kai finally popped into the world at 8.43 on 10/6/06 weighing in at a slightly light 5lbs 8oz, no real problems to speak of and, if i do say so myself, cute as a button.

Hes been doing well ever since, although eating, sleeping and pooping don’t take too much skill he manages each effortlessly and is becoming quite talented at soaking everyone within a 3ft radius of his business end during nappy changes. I may yet adopt a system of goggles and a mouth guard.

Suffice to say both Kai and Kir are doing great, we’re exceptionally proud parents.

now - to the photos!!
