Douglas Henry Sanders, 8 and half pounds-ish, born 11ish last night, 3rd march 2005. Dan called me at about 2.45 this morning to tell me. He sounded hyper, but I bet he's knackered.
Wow! I'm an auntie at last! I won't get chance to go over to see him until Tuesday, because of work, but after spending the whole of Thursday trying to stay horizontal in order to avoid the effects of gravity on my bowels, perhaps it's not a bad idea to make sure it's totally out of my system (although after that, I don't think there was anything left in there at all).
Perhaps I have extra-sensory bowels, and the 24 bout of sickness, diarrhea and weakness was to do with him coming along. I'll have to watch out for that one.
Anyway - pictures to follow, when I get some on my phone.
I'm waiting to see the bear that Carole's found - being a bear enthusiast, I asked her to find me the perfect bear for an auntie to give her nephew/neice - one that can be sucked, chewed, dropped, stood on, buried, cuddled and fed with honey sandwiches and withstand that for years. She originally came up with 2, but Michelle's gone round to look at just one, so I think she may have fallen in love with the other one and taken it off the market. In the meantime, I looked round Boots, ELC and Mothercare today and fell in love with a furry elephant and couldn't walk out without it. And after a chat with Carl from group, I'm looking for a projection system (like a light mobile) for his bedroom, but have had no luck so far. God it's exciting being an auntie!
Hurray!
Ok - off now. C

extra sensory bowels huh? well - you never know. maybe theyll come in handy for other stuff too. a restaurant screenin system. a radar for that guy who looks cute but is actually way past jerky. an a alarm clock for those days when you really oughtta get out of bed a wee bit earlier. that kinda thang :))
