eden david babbage
Eden David Babbage was born this evening. We're so excited to have finally met him! He's named after his great-great-great grandfather Eden on Duncan's side, and after his grandfather David, Bronwyn's Dad. We feel amazingly blessed and are thankful he is healthy and is part of our family.
This cute little man was a shade early. His father Duncan and grandfather Humphrey were both born on the 10th of their birth months, while his mother Bronwyn, grandmother Lois, and uncle Tim were all born on the 23rd of their birth months. And since no one was willing to wait till the 10th of October, it was inevitable that he'd be born today...
For those who like the details, he was finally delivered at 5:52pm weighing 3.29kg (7lb 4oz) after a relatively straightforward labor with minimal intervention. Baby Eden then relaxed while a few medical complications created for the mother in the final stages of labor were resolved by staff. Both are now well and all of us are most happy. Bronwyn and Eden will be in hospital for at least the next 48 hours, and I can't wait to bring them home...
Eden is sooo cool! And did I mention he's cute?

Posted by Jenny at 10:19pm on Saturday 24 September 2005Congratulations, well done Bronwyn & Eden.....and Duncan for post production photos and text. What an awesome blessing to have a "straight forward labour" and a wonderful, healthy baby boy.
How tme flys. We didn't even get to see the bump! Could you post a bump profile on the web so we can actually believe Bronwyn was pregnant.
Welcome to the Dad's club Duncan.
Love Mike, Lauren, Alice, Julia and Will
