As some of you already new my wife Helen was pregnant with our first child

She wasnt due until the 28th of july but on sunday at 4am she started bleeding very heavily :( im talking horror film stuff

Anyway after a ride in an ambulance one thing led to another and she ended up having an emergency cesarian at 7pm sunday night

It was a boy (we didnt know prior to that point as we wanted a supprise)

He is fine and so is Helen so i am a happy bunny once again :D

He weighed 5 1/2lbs despite being 6 wks early so is doing very well, he is still at hospital being observed just because he was early but he should be home in next 10 days and helen in the next 2 or 3

The doctors said at this point babies grow approx a pound a week when in the womb so he would have been around 11lbs if he had went the full term, Now they are both ok Helen is actually pleased he was early coz shes only small and didnt fancy squeezing an 11lb baby out!!

Anyway just thought i would share my happy news and im dead proud of my little Charlie and my wife Helen, oh yeah and my other baby...................... the roadster ;)

Next project a scaled down roadster exactly the same as mine for when he is big enough to press a pedal and steer, it will prob take longer than my roadster did now we have a baby though :rolleyes:

Well done Mark and congrats to you both. To have 2 new born in a few months is a great achievement - even if the other one was 6 months late......:D

Just wait till Charlie is out pestering you in the garage wanting to know how everything is made and how it works - Just buy him the Mark Evans DVD collection.

Congrats.....AndyH
