I know I was relieved to see the above from Mags when I looked in here for the umpteenth time! Wonderful news, Bob, and I think this is the longest wait I've gone through for anyone's baby! Poor Emi, she probably wants to sleep for the next week and she deserves to.

Phew! Well done Emi - many thoughts coming your way you poor thing. You need a jolly good rest now, for a few days.

Yes, we need vital statistics now.

Only just got the details. He was born 7.35pm Tokyo time and weighed in at 8lbs 3ozs (3.7Kg).Emi had been in labour for 79 hours and had a natural birth. She will stay in hospital for another week, which is the norm in Japan.
