Well, the bub was born. Patrick (after Ness' recently deceased grandmother Patricia) Jathan (my middle name) Angus (Ness' brother) Hayes. I argued against two middle names on the grounds of wankiness. She argued against the made up and bevan sounding nature of Jathan. It is actually a latin variation on Jonathan and goes a long way back on my dad's side. As always a good compromise left all involved disgruntled.

The labour was 4 hours long and drug free, in stark contrast to the 19 hour marathon last time. Both Mum and Bub are well and happy.

These things should come with a warning label: "Attention, use of this organism will fuck your life for a period of at least 3 months, and depending upon variation degrees of fuckedness may persist for greater than twenty years"
