Harvey has landed
So, last Monday, right in the middle of University Challenge, it became apparent that our second child (sex then unknown) was announcing his/her intention to arrive a week early. After a certain amount of drama, including my forgetting how to drive a car and repeatedly stalling at traffic lights, and a record-breaking drive by my brilliant parents from Portsmouth to Frome to come and take care of number-one-son (Joe, 3), Helen delivered a little boy at 01:08 on Tuesday. We’re calling him Harvey.
Mum and number-two-son are now home and in fine fettle. I’m proud, happy and shell-shocked. Sleep is already nothing but a fond memory….
Welcome to Planet Earth, Harvey!

Yes - we can sit in the corner at the next el-Pub talking about environmentally-friendly bottom wipes rather than the usual tedious nonsense about Web 2.0….
Good luck with your impending

Congratulations, and two pieces of gratuitious advice:
1. Have fun.
2. Ignore all advice you receive (unless you like the sound of it), and that includes 1 above.

Thanks Tom!
I’ll heed your advise. Which means I won’t.

Congratulations! Harvey looks so cute….while he is asleep. Probably not so cute at 3.00am in the morning
I’m glad it all went well…..
All the best

Aww, he’s gorgeous Paul - congratulations. But it sounds like you need to get yourself a car with an automatic gearbox next time (just in case you go for a third!).

[...] A night spent in a fairly modern but spartan student university hall - all aluminium staircases and orange walls (Frederique of JISC described it as the ‘EasyJet’ of student acommodation). I kept waking up wondering why I hadn’t been woken up by Harvey…. [...]
