The arrival of Benjamin George Tucker

After mummy being in labour from 1.57am to 11am at home and, thereafter, in the birth centre at the Women's Hospital, I was born at 8.29pm on 10/11/12. A very cool date of birth to have!

Daddy cut my cord and was present throughout the labour supporting my mummy. His face was the first face I saw, as he was at the business end.

I was 52cm long and weighed in at a very healthy 8lb 8oz.

I passed all the tests with flying colours - hopefully a sign of things to come!

I was discharged at 12.30pm today (11/11/12) and went home with my parents.

I'm off to sleep - something I seem to be very good at. I'm feeding well and I haven't cried once. x
