Phoebe Jane Laffin

Brief update from Mad Great Aunt Donna;

Tuesday 09/09/08: Agreed to look after Tyler from Tuesday morning. He is 13 months and 2 weeks old, weighs around 10kg and is 83cm tall. How hard could it be? Angela taken to hospital to be induced.

Wednesday 10/09/08: Angela finally induced at 10.30am, after spending 23 highly frustrating hours in hospital and fretting for her little boy.

Tyler decides to compete with the Large Hadron Collider, attempting to set new records for the highest speeds reached by a toddler. Experiment aborted at 12.30pm, 10/09/08 for lunchtime nap. James takes up the challenge, racing between son/wife/work, but neglected to set a timer so there is no data available.

Thursday 11/09/2008: Phoebe Jane Laffin, born 5.35am, weighing in at 6lb 9½oz. At the moment, I think she looks like a character out of a Beryl Cook picture. She dislikes having her picture taken, but is rather fond of a cuddle.

Tyler isn't quite sure what she is, but quite likes her.

Friday 12/09/08: I handed Tyler back on Friday night and spent the next two days recovering from a migraine!
