Mister Underhill has been trapped in the Barrow!
Eleven-three! That's a big boy. Well, at least he wasn't eleventy-three.

Congratulations! My small tip: keep a journal handy if you haven't already started one. Those first few months go by in a sleepless blur and later on you might really enjoy looking back on your thoughts and feelings from what will surely be one of the most intense times of your lives.

Congrats! I'm sure the kid's lucky to have such parents.

Amazing. Usually I'm ambivalent about babies but I squeal over puppies and kittens, but I'm downright cooing over the lil fella. Look at those chubby cheeks.

Hee hee, same here...

But, I can't argue, he's a handsome lil'downer.

Congratulations!!!

Very glad to hear that Lal is okay, a ceasarian is absolutely no easy thing (as recounted to me by mum, hers almost killed her, but that's a story not needed here), and congratulations again! I hope the little one brings you more life and happiness.

Good job you two, and warm welcome to the little fellow! Wishing you 3 the best!

(He does look remarkably well for all he's been through. Hope that the same can be said for Lal!)

I'm so happy with this!

Sooner than you think he will be questioning all you wish to teach him. And before you realise he will go to school - that happens so fast!! And after that he will probably join the Downs and lo! what can we do about it but to learn from him then...

Congrats!

Just be human with your little guy.

No manual can teach what loving parents can do. Make him feel that he's welcome in this world and that the arms of mummy and daddy are cozy as well...

I'm so happy about to hear this!
