Hello!

I have just emerged into the world, at 4:02am.

I am a bit high on pethidine as I forced my way through the birth canal when the doctors told Mum she could sleep through the contractions. That's because I am going to be a problem child.

I weigh 2.34kg, which is 5lb 3oz in old money.

Actually, my parents weren't expecting me this weekend. My due date was the 26th July, so I am 3 1/2 weeks early.
