Who's the Daddy?
Hi Guys,
Thought you might like to see a photo of the little alien? Otherwise known as Sophia, (not thought of a middle name just yet, perhaps Asifa??)
Was all a bit touch and go in the end, Wife had a horrendous labour - in my opinion, she seems to think it all went ok though!
To cut a VERY long story short, was a 24 hour labour, lots of gas and air, painkillers, painful examinations, painful contractions, painful Epidural, worried doctors and medical staff, ended up with an emergency caesarean at 5.25am, Saturday 8th December 2007.
You'll be glad to know I came through it ok!
Oh, Mother and baby were ok too.
Baby was 7.5lbs, don't know any other stats, except she is a good size, with big feet! (obviously from her Mother, either that or from the real Father!)
And before anyone starts complaining about Men (Heaven forbid!), I was there ALL the way, rubbed the Wife's back and legs throughout every single contraction, helped during the Epidural, helped monitor the Baby's heartbeat, scurried around all day and night (and am still doing that now!)
Remember, I did the REALLY hard work nine months ago!
Asif
PS. Still sparing a thought for Matteeboy and family.

Thanks to all for kind comments - it is appreciated.
Do you want more cutesy pictures then???
Everyone who knows us says she looks both lovely and thank God not like me! Should I be offended?
Not to go into too much detail but contraception does not work. Put it this way we weren't planning this one (but I am over the Moon that she is here).
As the Jeff Goldblum character in Jurassic Park said, "Life will find a way".
Worth also mentioning that the NHS staff at the Hospital were outstanding - absolutely superb and totally committed professionals.
Never thought I would ever state that.

Pah, all you people saying how cute etc... You all posted on the "I hate children thread" 
Anyway, lets be honest. All babies are ugly little beggers.
Still, congratulations Asif

Right, I get a break now from feeding to go to Boots - need some maternity pads! The Missus that is, not me!
Cheers!
