We are so excited that our lovely friends Mari and Kev on Thursday 20th November welcomed their eagerly anticipated little baby into the world. His name is Oscar Olav Murphy, he was 3.2kg and 48cm long when he was born. The labour was of course not a cake-walk but Mari did an amazing job and Oscar arrived in the early afternoon as a healthy little baby boy. He was only one day past his due date, which was a huge relief to his parents who were gearing up for a 2+ week wait!
I was lucky enough to be able to go and visit them at the hospital on Friday evening. They are a beautiful little family and of course Oscar's mum and dad couldn't be prouder. He was very well behaved and slept most of the time, in contrast to how he seemed to spend his time while still in the womb when it seemed he couldn't keep still! He is such a cute little baby with a beautiful little face and big blue eyes. He has his father's dark hair but I think the eyes and nose look quite a lot like Mari. Unfortunately for Joel he was offshore when Oscar was born and hasn't met him yet but I'm sure that will be priority number 1 when he returns.
Here he his with his very proud and happy mum Mari
Like a little Buddah, sleeping soundly
