I was just about to start a new thread, and I find that the paparazzi have beaten me to it!!!! :o :smiley-laughing: :smiley-laughing:

Thanks all!  It's been a terrible week and a half, but I'm glad it's all over with a great result.  Albert was born this morning and is as good as gold so far!  Michelle is recovering well.

Freddie (Albert's older brother) is already used to regular viewings of Thomas, Driver Dan and Chuggington!   :D  It wasn't through his choice either...... ;) :smiley-laughing:
