About two weeks ago, (I shall have to look up the date of the e-mail), my cousin Nigel and his partner Sonja welcomed their son Harrison to this world. Nigel has sent me several pictures of Harrison and I have had one printed up! Now just need to get a picture frame for it. Anyway, Harrison was full term (chancy in my mother's family) and has no obvious heart defect (ditto), and weighted over 8 pounds.
Nigel says he got home just in time to get Sonja to the hospital, where she delivered less then an hour later! There was no time for any painkiller like they had planned, (in fact, they had been planning a water birth! ) Wow, the options they have in England.
Harrison has a full head of hair and is indescribably cute. He did have a little episode the day after he was born, where he sucked in some snot and stopped breathing. He and Sonja got to spend another day in the hospital because of that, just to make sure he wasn't going to make a habit of it.
Have not heard from them since, but was expecting that!!! I'm sure they are just standing around gawking at Harrison, when they are not actively caring for him. Soon, there will be more news.
