I haven't been posting much since I reached New Zealand two weeks ago. This is partly because I have been very busy with my grandchildren and partly bercause absentdaughter has an ergonomic keyboard which makes me feel that I am typing while wearing boxing gloves.

However, I have news. Finlay Hunter - there's a name to conjure with - was born by C-section at 12.20 on Saturday afternoon (it's now Sunday morning in NZ). He weighed - wait for it - 9 lb 14 oz. Absentdaughter had hoped for a normal delivery but the boy turned out to have such a big head, it wasn't going to happen. It also turned out that previous C-sections had left her very vulnerable and prolonging labour any further could have been catastrophic.

Mum and baby are both well and both beautiful. I can't stop grinning like a coal scuttle.
