arrived last night at 11pm!
We are delighted to have been blessed with another boy, Jonah Benjamin Shrubsole. Birthweight 7 lb 10oz (which is exactly the same as Sam was).
Bethan went into labour naturally on Sunday night at 1 week overdue and continued in early stages of labour both at home and in hospital for 48hours. She was induced and put on an epidural to speed things up as there were a number of signs of possible distress to baby. Then late last night the hospital decided to go for a c-section to get baby out, and prevent further risk to baby. Although this sounds similar to Sam's birth it was all much calmer and we are very grateful to the excellent staff at the Rosie hospital in Cambridge who did everything they could for us with calm professionalism and real care. Both Bethan and Jonah are doing well, and we thank everyone for their prayers and good wishes. I'm off to hospital now to see them. Please see picture gallery for photos.
