Eoin Robert Murphy has arrived!

Eoin (for those not familiar with the name, the 'E' is silent so similar pronouncement to Owen) was born at 10:30pm on Saturday 23rd May. He weighed in at 7lbs and 11oz and was 21 inches long (he is fine and tall for now at least!).

Biz was in labour from early on Saturday morning (with some early indications from Friday afternoon) and she did a wonderful job in bringing Eoin into this world - the stamina she's developed from all those marathons came into good use.

Here they are not long after birth:

Eoin had to spend his first 2 days in the NIC. Sounds like a jail but it is the Neonatal Intensive Care unit - just as a precaution in case he developed an infection.

I am not sure we can match the 24 hour VIP treatment he got in the NIC!

He got discharged this morning (he got out of the NIC early for good behaviour!) and is now doing great at home with us.
