    Incoming, and a keeper!!!

    I'm a grandpa. Zinnia Reah (I take no responsibility for name choices!), 8lbs 2oz and born a few hours ago over in NYC... no other details as yet but galling that I'm not over there as planned (nor do I really know when I will/can be either).

    Anyway, I'm going to focus on the positives - mum and baby both doing well, and a home birth so as safe as could be in the circumstances



    Update: Getting on a bit here, sleeping on my ex's lap at one day of age :)

    Congratulations Tony. Great to hear mother and baby are doing well.

    I’ll bet you will be on the first available flight over, once travel restrictions ease.

    We await what will be “Probably the best baby photos in the world” once that happens.
