Neal Raymond Grosvenor (with mother Susan Grosvenor).

Born July 24th, 2005 4:46 AM. 7lbs, 11.6 ounces, picture taken at about 5AM.

Water broke around noon on Saturday the 23rd.  Susan was fully dilated at 4AM sunday morning, it came very quickly at that point.

one more picture, a couple hours later

Well done.

Something my mother always does and I continue, is that on viewing a new baby for the first time, is to place a silver coin into the babies hand, for good luck and prospective richness for the little one, as you are the other side of the pond, it is difficult to achieve that act.

Well done once again.

They're so germ phobic over here, I doubt I'd get to do that.  I do have some silver quarters (pre 1965) hanging around though, and they have the sterile wash everywhere.

Congratulations to you and Susan on the birth of Neal. :)  Let the good times roll. :) 

Congrats, Chucky  :)

My elderly next door neighbour used to do that too.  I still have the coins he gave to my babies  :)

Congratulations man!  :D 8)

It's a very lovely baby. Well done to you both.

congratulations, chucky. what a beautiful baby.

Of course the little one does not hold it for long, the one of the parents soon take it over.

Congratulations to you all...

As for holding, well...he's all yours...

I'm completely awkward with babies...I nearly dropped the last one I was given...

He looks exhausted, can't blame the little tyke must be a knackering business being born.

Glad it all went off without a hitch mate.

Congrads, Chuck!  :)

Congratulations, Chucky.

My wife and I stopped at one, and as time when on and prove to be, one was/is enough.

My husband and I stopped at two....we felt one girl and one boy was perfect!  8)

Bit late, but:  Congratulations! nonetheless.   :)

Well done Lady and Sir Penguin.  Beautiful baby.  Wishing all of you all the best.

Congratulations and welcome to the club.  :)

Hubby wanted one, I wanted 2.....we ended up with 3.....good thing he didn't want 3 & me 4 or we'd have had 7 :D
Are you both going for a football team?

Awwwww....  What a cute little baby!

We stopped at four - 2 girls and 2 boys - the more the merrier I say!  :D

ditto.  Although I'd probably would have stopped at two if both had been girls

CONGRATULATIONS!!
:)

Congratulations, Chucky! I hope the new addition to your family brings you much happiness.

Congratulations Chucky & Susan - what a beautiful little pengiun.  Best wishes to you three and welcome to the 00s, Neal!

Thanks everyone (some more)

We're home now, Neal enjoyed his ride home (I hated it, way more traffic than the same exact time yesterday, I was the one sounding like a baby!)

I'll be happy to sleep in my own bed, but then again, they'd stick Neal in the nursery at night, so we slept right right through the night (not that we got much sleep anyways).  Tonight will be a little more interesting.

I told Susan that right now, despite the discomfort, she's living every woman's dream.  Her stomache is getting smaller, and her breasts are growing larger.  She just doesn't appreciate it >grin<

Congratulations Chucky!

Congratulations Chucky and Susan. And welcome to the world, Neal.
