I am honoured to be able to pass on the news that berolina's ds2 was born at 10.23 this morning, weighing 3,010g (I haven't done a conversion ... is that somewhere around 7lbs, for those of us who like to work in 'old money' ?) and measuring 48 cm. He has a truly gorgeous name, but I am not sure how berolina feels about posting personal details on the www, so I'll leave her to tell you his name when she gets back if she wants to. Otherwise you'll have to trust me that it's gorgeous.

Apparently the birth was very fast (half an hour after arriving at the hospital) and there was a worrying moment because baby-bero had the cord round his neck, but both
berolina and baby-bero are doing fine now and hope to be home tomorrow.

Those are all the details I have for now. I was on my way back from a conference when her dh phoned me, and the first thing I've done after getting in is turn the computer on and come and tell you lot. (My dh/dds are out, btw, I am not ignoring them!)

HUGE CONGRATULATIONS from the Ellbell family, berolina. I am so pleased for you.

I'm sorry, I'd love to tell you, but I'd hate to post the name on a public forum if she would prefer to remain anonymous. (Wish I'd thought to ask her if I could reveal the name when she asked me to post a birth announcement... Sorry!)

Shame it wasn't a girl. It could've been Beryl Berolina. (Nice!)

but I'm not telling.

WendyWeber · 22/09/2007 23:52

Engelbert.

It is, isn't it? You just don't like to tell us. I know.

Aitch · 22/09/2007 23:52

oh i do like brian...

WendyWeber · 23/09/2007 00:54

We used to have a car called Brian - it looked like this (only brown)

WendyWeber · 23/09/2007 00:57

Hm - maybe more like this (but 4-door. And it was in 1980 so not that old )

Nothing like a sweet little baby berolina though.
