Noah James Puddephat Has Arrived!

At 0612 on Saturday April 19th, Maria gave birth to Noah James Puddephat. Noah weighs 8lbs and 2oz and both mother and child are doing well. Maria and Noah were kept under routine observation at Mayday Hospital for 24 hours following the birth. Yesterday lunchtime, both were given the all clear and Maria and I took Noah home to Purley.

We are slowly getting the hang of changing nappies and feeding little Noah. We did try to give him a bath yesterday, but he didn't seem to like it very much. Apart from that, Noah is mainly sleeping, crying, feeding and enjoying all the attention he is getting! So far, so good. Maria and I are both very happy.
