A Bright Shining Boy
On Monday, 20 November 2006 at 23:39, Olga gave birth to a healthy little boy of 51cm (20 inches) and 3950g (8.7 lbs).
At the time of birth, it was cloudy and the temperature was -6° C.
Since he was quite large for his age, he was delivered by means of a Caesarian (keizersnede).
We have decided to name him 'Stefan', but in Russian he will be called 'Stepan' or 'Styopa' most of the time.
I have made an e-card in HTML Help for the occasion (it contains an interesting sound-track), which most of you should have received by now. If you haven't (don't blame me, blame the Internet, your mail server or your mail client (i.e. Outlook
)), you can download it from http://users.telenet.be/sibiryak/docs/birthcard.chm. If you have trouble reading it, try clicking one of the links on the first page (Hoera, een zoon/It's a boy/etc.).
Update: There is also an online version of the e-card at http://users.telenet.be/sibiryak/docs/stefan.html.
I don't have any recent pictures of our son yet, since visitors are denied access to the maternity hospital.
What I do have can be found at http://siberian-adventure.fotopic.net/c1125437.html
Be on the lookout for the next post. It will contain the story of how our fledgeling came into this world.
