A New Jersey Bean

Shelley had a little boy! Oscar; he arrived early Wednesday morning and were lucky to get to go see him in hospital that afternoon. Lucky, because he's been in the Special Care Unit since then and the only other family besides parents allowed to visit is grandparents! He should be out of the unit tomorrow (he has some kind of infection); but he and Shelley have to stay in hospital until Monday.

Papa D (James's dad) went mad with his camera (are we surprised?!) and took a good stack of photos yesterday morning and got them printed immediately... Granny Moira bought Mothercare out of all blue newborn clothes just a few hours after Oscar entered the world, and Uncles Lew and Jamesy conferred on how long it'll be before Baby Bean joins the 'men' at the rugby on Saturdays.

And in other news... A beautiful, sunny day; we went for a quick walk when we got home from work this evening and realised again how happy we are that we're only moving up the road.
