We are an uncle!

I am delighted to announce the arrival at 00:47 BST, June 17, 2003 of my nephew Alexander James Johnson, weighing 8lbs despite being absolutely tiny.

He was delivered by Caesarean operation, having inconvenienced my sister by refusing to show up for the thick end of 48 hours. Mom, Dad and son are doing great nonetheless - not that Dad contributed much besides not having enough petrol in the car to get them to the hospital on Sunday morning after the waters broke, perhaps not his finest moment :-) Mom is somewhat tired, son is positively serene and Dad is learning to change nappies.
