Hi all,
Thank you so much for all the kind wishes, they are truly appreciated!

Louise and Alex are back from the Hospital now. Both are doing much better. Seems like the problems were just Louises body struggling to cope with all the strain of the birth/CS and that slowed milk production drastically.
Anyway, all is going well now, we are suplimenting him with some formula.

Its good to be able to relax a bit and actually enjoy being a father instead of just worrying.

And I can come here and reply to this thread!

Stu,
"you COULD have managed to put a SMALL knife in his hand for the pic. Its never too early to get collectors started!"

LOL, I think I'll have enough troble keeping little prying hands off of the collection without encouraging him!
The Mrs HAS already mentioned it a few times.

Amuk Murugul
"Congratulations from me too / May he grow to be as famous as his namesake"

Thank you, it's a tall order! lol.
Alexander - leader of men!
Whatever path he chooses, as long as he is a good man, I will be proud.

TVV,

Thank you Teodor

David,
"woot! Woot!"

LOL!! Cheers David.

Dom,

Love the Stork gif!
Thank you buddy.

Gess,
"Congratulations!
Пусть растет здоровым ребенком на радость Папе с Мамой!
For new legs - need a drink!"

Thank you. I certainly did need a drink when he finally arrived!! Is that a tradition toast?

Nataniel,
"Congratulations, someone start passing around the cigars

Gene, what is the length and weight of your strapping lad?"

Thank you, but I'll have to pass on the cigars, I miss smoking too darn much!
He was 7lb-10.5oz, 3470g, they didn't measure him actually....
(goes to get a measure) He's now 18"/46cm.

Sajen,

Thank you.... I know eveyone thinks their baby is beautiful, but I do think he's a good looking little chap.

Rick,
"I'd suggest George Cameron as first and middle names .

My Wife was 36 hours labor; then the C section; I hear you buddy ."

George Cameron? Any particular reason?
36hrs, then CS

It's certainly a trial isn't it? Were they both OK afterwards?

Katana,

"Congratulations Gene (and especially to Louise .....afterall she did do all the hard work)

At least you know that one of your 'old' weapons is still fully functioning "

Thanks David. Not sure she did 'all' the hard work... I was after all teetering on the edge of a nervous breakdown!

And Thanks, LOL, there's plenty a good tune played on an old fiddle!

Norman,
"Many congratulations to you both, now 'for you' the hard work begins!"

Thanks mate. Nah, plain sailing from here on!

Fernando,

"He sure grows up fast. I can see his moustache . Congratulations to you and my respects to your wife; you know, we do the watching, but they do the suffering."

Thanks bud, but he's gotta have a goatee beard like his dad! My mrs was magnificent, I couldn't have sat still while they tried half a dozen times to get a needle into my spine! She was absolutely heroic, I am in awe

Robert Coleman,
"Congratulations to you and your lovely wife. You two have just received the greatest gift that anyone can ask for. Best wishes for you and your family.

Merry (even if it is early) Christmas"

Thanks Robert

I still can't quite believe it, just goes to show, it's never too late!
Happy Xmas to you too

Luc,

LOL!!! Absolutely! Early on in the pregnancy I did suggest that 'Apollo' was a good name for a boy....... Louise did NOT agree!
