Sweet baby boy


Here he is only a few hours old. He's pretty lovely so far and relaxed, the labour and birth was very nice and relaxed so he's had a good start :).
He weighed in at 7lb 3 oz, the same size as Timo and Lennox when they were born. Caoimhe was 7lb 14oz.
So far we think he looks more like Timo did when he was a new baby.
When Lennox met him for the first time he said baby about 20 times in amazement and then said "baby is cute" and was quite taken with his feet and hands and the fact he was wearing a hat. Lennox loves to hold him and is quite in awe when he does.
Caoimhe asked to cut the umbilical cord so she did after he was born. She doesn't think she wants to do that again as it was a bit hard.
Timo and Caoimhe have been debating on what the baby should be called. Timo is going for Ezra and Caoimhe is going for Otto, but said she quite likes Ezra too. Both names we have suggested, so we'll see what sticks. He seems more like an Ezra than Otto. Ishmael has also been a suggestion (first ancestor to NZ of the Pemberton family?).
