he's here!!!


Tobias Khisa, 7.5 lbs / 3.4 kg, born April 25, 2006 at 1910 EAT (GMT+3).
Yes, it was incrediby painful! Anthony stayed the whole time, and was mightily impressed with my fortitude - meanwhile, I would have preferred to die! When they say 'pain killer,' they lie..... Damn shots didn't work at all. But I was lucky - it wasn't too long, only 4 hours or so of hard labour after they started the drip to speed things up. Then, once the head popped out, there was no more work - he just slipped out - what a relief!
I'm surprised he's a cutie - I thought all newborns looked all mashed up! He's also really good - no real crying at all, and managed to breastfeed & barf successfully. Since then he's been sleeping with Baba (Anthony) - I had no idea it was 4am already!
