William was born at 1:40 this morning, and both mother and baby are doing fine!

I've had wonderful support off you all throughout the 31 days of baby items and bump photos, and as I said on day 31, I feel like I picked up a few pearls of wisdom and experience from the parents amongst you, now I need to put them into practice! :-)

(and since my dad has already asked, he's a Nikkonian! :-) )

Awww! And I was wondering how long it will take yet.
He looks very much awake and alert yet, unlike other newborns I've seen.

Congrats to the three of you. Have fun getting to know each other.

Oh, and we have a Kids Only Arena now. :D

WOWOWOWOWOW!! A hearty congrats, and thank you so much for letting us all see him so soon after breaking news! Of course, it's nothing less than we expected too.

Marie looks just fantastic. I presume all went well?!?! Long labour? Easy one? Rush to the hospital? Weight, length, head circumference?!?!

Gah, we need details!

Nah, just kidding. The picture is fantastic.

Get him behind that lens as soon as he can hold it!
Nikon kewl!

:D! congratulations!!

Congratulations, make sure you savour every minute. Even the ones that at the time may not seem so great.

Is there anything in the world better than 'new baby smell', I think not.
