Baby 2.0

This time tomorrow, we’ll have another child.

Kim is going into hospital tomorrow morning for an elective cesarean (c-section) operation in the afternoon.

I’m not sure who’s more nervous, last time I nearly passed out. But with the help of our Midwife Midhusband Graham, I’m hoping to stand up and watch the baby being removed from my wife’s stomach.

Just thinking about it makes me queasy.

I hope to keep you all informed via this blog, twitter and facebook, so which ever medium you follow me on, be sure to wish Kim and I all the best and we’ll hopefully have something to show you all really soon.

Joshua Ethan Hodge is here.

He’s finally here!!
Introducing Joshua Ethan Hodge
The newest member to the Hodge family, Joshua. Born by cesarean at 5:06am today, 26th of October 2006 at a weight of 8.4lbs or 3.74kgs

Joshua is doing fine, swallowed a little meconium during labour and got a little stressed out, so was taken to special care unit for monitoring during the day. He has been given antibiotics to make sure everything is okily dokily, so you’ll notice a needle in his hand in some of the pictures. We were all together overnight last night and the little guy is doing really well, feeding heaps, and getting to know mum and dad.
Kim is recovering amazingly, not too sore and moving around already.
So we’ll be out tomorrow and back a home for the weekend, all going well.

Thanks for all the support over the last few days everyone.
