Baby #2 is Born

On August 23rd, 2011, at 12:53, our second child was born by caesarean section. We did not plan on a c-section but it became increasingly clear in the last few days that a c-section represented our best chance at a healthy delivery.

Happily, it was a very healthy delivery. The baby was a boy, weighed 9 pounds 9 ounces and measured 20.8 cms long. He scored well on his APGAR tests. His name is Bertram Matthew Naphan. We picked the name very early in the pregnancy, primarily because we like how it shortens to Bertie or Bert, and thus continuing our fascination with popular fin-de-siecle British names.

Also, the Naphan name lives on! Bring forth men-children only, for thy undaunted mettle should compose nothing but males!

Pictures of Winnie from Phone

Last week, we bought cell phones, for our upcoming move to Ottawa. I was able to get a HTC Desire Z for $0 with only a 1-year contract. A pretty good deal. Nikki got a cheap phone for $54 for 1 year, as well.

Here are some pictures of Winnie and Nikki.
