If you will excuse the geeky nature of this post, I am writing with a purpose in mind so bear with me and I may do you a favour! One of the things that makes me feel guilty now and again is the fact I am rubbish at taking back-ups of my computer hard drive. I know I should do it, I know it’s pretty important but it just gets lost sometimes in the bigger scheme and besides it’s a hassle.
Kerry and I heard the sad news today that her grandfather, Edgar Stern, died today. I have only known Edgar for the eight or nine years that Kerry and I have been together and so I cannot possibly know him or miss him in the way that the Stern family did.
We are pleased to announce that Nathanael John Robert Green was born this morning at 01.50 a.m. weighing a eye-watering 9 lb 9 oz. Both Kerry and Nate are both doing really well and we’re all absolutely delighted. Bethya is looking forward to meeting her baby brother later today for the first time and grandparents are winging their various ways from Kent.
We’ve been living here in Cambridge for almost a month now and thought it a good time to say hello and give you a news update. College term has not yet started (a week to go) and so we’ve been able to enjoy a rest over the last couple of weeks, having unpacked and settled in. We’ve worked out where the Tesco’s is and all the essentials. Of course, we’ve also made a priority of registering with a doctor and visiting the local hospital’s maternity wing to make sure we are ready when Kerry goes into labour.
Speaking of which, Kerry and baby two are both fine. She is fit to burst and pretty uncomfortable doing most things as heavily pregnant women tend to be. However, both are healthy and well and we are trying to finalize names and get the children’s room ready for an extra occupant!
The Greens (Nana and Pops, Dave, Kerry and Bethya, Emma and Jack) recently did their now annual expedition to the far flung corners of the British Isles. This year it was time for Northumberland and the beauty of the big sky.
There are some photos available on this blog for those that are interested in seeing what we got up to.
