A BIG birth announcement!
HELLO EVERYBODY!!!!!
Finally I get some time to reply to all of you who have been asking after me & baby bump here, via private messages, emails and msn messengers!!! You guys have been keeping me company (and sane!!!) during the last, uncomfortable weeks of my pregnancy! (plz mods do not close this thread just yet!)
Well....it's with a lot of happiness that I can now announce the safe arrival of baby FBW into this world on monday 26th march at 06:02....and it is a boy!!!
We called him Francesco Pietro and he weighed 9lb 15oz - 4.495kgs!!!!
And everybody told me that I looked small....ha!!
The birth went ever so well, all done in about 5 hours without any intervention despite the whopping size, the most beautiful experience and most enjoyable pain of my life.
Daddy was amazing throughout and already cannot wait to take him flying....we'll hav to find a baby plane seat
here's a link to a very quick montage, all done in between feeds - he's like a greedy little vacuum pump ha!
thank you again for all the good wishes, and to sukigirl and all the girls who are thinking about having a baby......there's no such experience in life and you'll be amazed of how much love such a tiny thing can generate....Unbelievable!!!
Hopefully i will be able to catch up with all the happenings very soon!!!
lots of love
FBW

Congratulations FBW!!! 
How cute is Francesco! Thanks for sharing the video with us, good idea. With a mummy and a daddy both in aviation, it will be an inspiration for those who wonder if family and flying are compatible

Wonderful vid! Best thing I ever did, even if it did put paid to my career- I don't regret it. My husband flies long haul, and yes there are occasions he misses...first steps/word etc, and later, school performances etc. However, the benefits are also huge- Dad nearly always comes back from a trip with some "unusual" pressies, making them the envy of their classmates, able to source that unobtainable PS3 console for half the price down route etc. Not to mention trips to exotic lands in the school hols. "You are studying Ancient Egypt next term Son, come on my 3 day Cairo trip then"......enjoy ...it's a whole new life..............NLA.

Congrats FBW, and what a cutie mini-FBW is! As a guy this never fails to leave me in awe of females. What a beautiful experience, congratulations to you & daddy. Shall we book Francesco into the flying school now, or let him learn to walk first?
Congrats

Many congratulations, your little boy is gorgeous. You must be so proud. I had a baby boy too 5 months ago and it is the most amazing experience. I don't miss flying at all and am not going back. When people tell you they grow up so quickly, it is so true. Treasure these wonderful early days, even the sleepless nights!

Guys!!! Thank you ever so much for your replies, they really moved me!!!
We're finally back home, had to be readmitted to hospital due to a slight complication after the birth - for me that is, Francesco is absolutely fine, eats like a little piglet and is ever so good! He's been such a good boy, probably sensed that mummy had to rest and has been sleeping throughout the night (well apart from one feed) since he was born. However I cannot sleep anyway as I seem to be staring at him in amazement all the time!!
He was not overdue, well he was due the 25th and was born the 26th at 6am.....however all the doctors that had visited me in the last 2 months would have put a lot of money on him being born early, given his size!!!
I agree with all of you who have said that kids grow so fast, he's one week old today and has already changed so much!!!
I think it's a bit early for the first flying lesson, but I am sure his dad doesn't want to wait too long before he has his first trial lesson!
Good luck Tecks with your triplets I really hope all will be fine for you and the little ones!!!
Thanks also for the comments on the video, it was just a "quickie" to show all my friends and family in italy as we cannot fly there yet, so I thought it would be a good idea to show my pprune friends too
The little monkey is asleep so I am off to bed.....night night everyone xxxxxxxx
