Early Sunday morning, Jake and I welcomed a little baby boy into the world! Otis J. (middle name to be determined) was born at 1:26am. He was 3.66 kg (8 lbs, 1 oz). He is wonderfully beautiful and very active!
Otis and I had terrific care in the midwife-led unit at the JR Hospital. He was born in a birthing pool. Mom and baby came home to the farm on Sunday afternoon and are both doing well! Dad has some time off from work and grandma French is here from Kansas. Our little family in England is being constantly amazed and delighted by our new addition!

Congratulations! I've been a fan of your blog for some time now (we started at Ox in the same year - I'm over at Catz) and have enjoyed reading about your travels.
Now I'm curious: since your baby was born in the UK, can he be a British citizen?
Best of luck in this new adventure. :)
That is a beautiful photo of Otis. Does he have a middle name yet? Can you not name your baby indefinitely in England? Although Jacob would be nice, my vote is for James, it has a nice ring to it. But whatever it turns out to be we couldn't be more delighted and can't wait for all three of you to come home! Congratulations!
