I'm absolutely stoked !!!
I'm so proud of Lucianne and all the hard work she had to put up with. Giving birth ain't no easy thing, I've seen that with me own two eyes now.
I forgot his length, but he was weighed in at a whopping 7 pounds 12 ounces.
Here's one more photo to steal your hearts...



Cheers

Congratulations mate!! Well done. Good to see another Ford boy into this worls. I'm just glad you got rid of that god damn HSV in time. I would have hated to see him growing up with that around and get the HSV idea.

Congrats Olympus and Mrs Olympus!!!! Little Kameron is sooo cute! Good choice of name! My son is Cameron and he is a MASSIVE Ford kid! I hope everyone is ok and you guys can get some sleep!

You can get some really cool Ford baby gear these days too, so get him in that quick smart!!! And get him out driving, in the capsule or car seat too! Tip: driving is seriously good for getting babies to sleep and relaxing them, especially with stereo on!

Good luck and well done guys!

Thanks for all the kind words everyone, I managed to get a full nights sleep tonight. So I feel alright, hopefully Lucianne does too.
Will go up and see her and the wee one in a while as I miss them already.
