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!

yeeha! nice one. when mine arrives we can compare no-sleep induced hallucinations…
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
doomhappy arrival!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
Balviar
Thanks Balviar!

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!).

Congrats Paul & Helen! When you’re back in work, just block out your calendar with ‘meetings’, bring a pillow and tuck up under your desk…
Thanks Kara!
[...] 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…. [...]
Just had to leave a comment LOL! But – he is lovely
