    Birth of our son

    I didn't make it public before, but I would like to let everyone know about the birth of our son Vincent.
    He was born on the 18th November 2011.
    I was due to fly to Phils in the 13th Dec but when there were complications I changed my flights to be with my wife. I was not able to be there on the day, but Vincent decided to arrive 6 weeks early. He was 2.1kg at birth and kept in an incubator for a few weeks. My wife recovered well after I arrived and I was able to look after them both in those special few weeks after the birth.

    I have just returned from Phils after 2 months and it has not been easy to leave them. Our son is beautiful and my wife is a wonderful mother.

    I would like to thank everyone who sent their best wishes to us over the period that I was away and over Christmas and New Year, you know who you are and we really appreciated your kind thoughts.

    For me, as a Moderator on this great forum, I just wanted to share our happiness with everyone. Just remember that all things are possible, and when you meet the right person miracles can happen. Never give up on your dreams.

    I hope you enjoy the photos below

    Steve

    Congratulation Steve and Charie, welcome Vincent

    I know who you are feeling now, I had to leave our son when he was 3 weeks old, we were reunited when we got their visa and passport and they came to the UK when he was 6 months old.

    Funny you say that Graham, everyone we met when we were out kept saying 'oh he is a xerox copy' made me laugh. To be honest, you really wouldn't know he was 50% Filipna, but he is and I am so proud of that.

    Yep, he looks a dead ringer for Ricky Gervais too..

    My wife and her family find the whole idea of our potential offspring absolutely fascinating. We are both so different and one just wonders what combination of looks and characterstics our two sets of gene pools will throw back at us....

    Thanks guys,

    Not sure if he looks like Ricky quite yet.

    Here are a couple of photos, the one with the black and white inset photo is interesting, it is me at two and a half months and Vincent, now the same. The other is with a family friend's grandson near where we live.

    Well, thank goodness mother and baby are both in good health. That's the main thing isn't it.

    My boy struck lucky and took after his mother.

    congrats steve and charie the baby is a spitting image of daddy!
    God grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change, the courage to change the things i can and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people i had to kill because they pissed me off.

    Well said Steve, I enjoyed the photos, and it was great to meet Charie last November - only 2 weeks before Vincent " arrived " . Welcome back to UK ( even if you would rather still be in Phils ) .
