   Congratulations, Mike and Caz. After part 2 it would have been an anticlimax had he not been born in the ambulance!

   Oh – meant to ask – was he born on Christmas Day? The title of Part 3 seems to suggest that.

   Wow. Congratulations! I’m so glad I didn’t see this until today when I could read all 3 episodes – I could not have stood the suspense! I’ll keep my fingers crossed that he sleeps well.
   Happy New Year to you all, and thanks for all the pleasure you give me with your blog.

    Halfie — no, he wasn’t born on Christmas Day (un)fortunately. The due date was 24th but he was born exactly a week early, just like Rowan in fact. I couldn’t resist using Chocolate Jesus as the title as it’s the title of a Tom Waits song. The midwife really did think it was the chocolate that did it.

    Kath — so far (touch wood) he’s sleeping quite well. I don’t know how we would’ve coped otherwise.

    Jenni — I had the toothache for a few days but it went on its own, thanks for asking!

    Carrie and Reg — thanks!

    I’m glad your toothache has gone… I thought you’d gone fairly quiet about it! xx

    Yeh!!!!!
    Congratulations to you both, absolutely brilliant news. Toothache is so awful……
    Seriously, I’m delighted to hear your news. Any names yet??? I know Rowan took a while to reach one way and another!
    Author and 2nd time father in one year, way to go Mike. Caz is certainly going to have her work cut out keeping your head it’s proper size for a bit.
    Happy New Year to all four of you
