Our little man arrived at 5:24 this morning. He's asleep but I can't..obviously he is gorgeous and much chunkier than expected! Still no first name though. Middle name Oliver sister Melissa. Any ideas? Thanks x

Congratulations!

We haven't told anyone our names but what the heck... If it's a boy, Jos Henry Surname, if it's a girl, Zara Blythe Surname. Jos would officially be a Joseph!

Thank you ladies so much! Oliver is his daddy's name and don't want to get into the junior or big Ollie little Ollie silliness! We like Elliot but Elliott Oliver is a mouthful! Read your suggestions to Big Ollie (!) and we both LOVED Gregory and it suits him so thank you all but especially Bree x Now hopefully Gregory Oliver and I are off to sleep. ??
