I’m excited to announce that at 2am this morning V gave birth to our second son – Henri.
He’s 7 pounds 14 ounces (3.59kg) and so far is a very content little guy. Here are a couple of pictures from this morning and last night.
Both mother and baby are doing well after a long day – and dad’s not doing too badly either!
I’m Taking Some Paternity Leave
I will be taking a couple of weeks off now however I’ve pre-prepared two great weeks of content here at ProBlogger for you. It will include a guest post each day from some great bloggers, a series of 10 posts from me on ‘how to let your blog go’ and a few other random posts from me that I’ve written earlier.
Lara will also be moderating comments and will make posts if any breaking news happens that she thinks is relevant to you.
PS: Thanks to everyone for your well wishes. I hadn’t realized that today in many parts of the world it’s Father’s Day! Here in Australia we celebrate it in September – but I’m more than happy to claim it as being Father’s Day here today too (although I think V’s much more deserving of a special day of recognition after 20 hours of labor)! Thanks again all!
Congrats Darren and V! And little X too. As a mom of two boys, I have to say you’re really in for a fun ride :) Enjoy them – every minute you can.
Congrats!
Congratulations to the Family. Brings a smile on my face to see the pics…the baby is so cute:-) God Bless….
Congratulations Darren and V. Kids are great. Enjoy the fact that they are little now, they don’t stay that way for long. I have a 22 yr. old son and it seems like yesterday that he was the age of your older son.
Congratulations he looks so nice
Congrats to you and your family! He already has the face of a famous problogger :D
Congratulations on the new addition to your family.
He looks so contented in your arms!
Best regards
Congrats, Darren!! I’m so very happy for you and V. Everyday for the past 2 weeks I have been keeping a close eye out to see if you had a new baby yet. I know that V went over term and how frustrating that can be.
Enjoy the new baby!!!

WOOT WOOT! CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Congratulations from a fellow Aussie, and a huge sigh of relief & anguish (20 hours!) from a fellow mother.
I wish you all well.
Congrats!
Many congratulations! Have a wonderful two weeks of paternity leave, and give V all our best (20 hours of labour … ugh!) Glad to hear she’s doing well, and thank for sharing the gorgeous photos — Henri looks like an utter darling!

Congratulations Darren! Happy Father’s Day!
Congrats! He looks great and you look happy. Great combination.
(BTW, I read “content (as in happy) guy” as “content (as is writing) guy and thought, “wow Darren already has the little dude working!”)
What a beauty. We’ll miss you :( enjoy your fatherhood
Happy for you Darren. I am sure the baby is blessed with the well-wishes of thousands of bloggers who have learnt so much from you.
Congratulations Darren and on Father’s Day too.
Perfect. He’s just perfect. Enjoy every second.
Congrats! Good luck with boy :)
Many congratulations, mate. I wasn’t aware you were expecting :)
What a blessing! The mixed emotions of awe and exhaustion is something you can only experience with child birth. My wife would know that best but as the daddy things couldn’t be better than seeing your child come into this world. Happy father’s day and congrats to you and your family.
congratulations, he is precious!
Congratulations, Darren! Such wonderful news :-)
Awww your baby boy is very adorable. Congratulations Darren!
Congratulations!! What a great gift on Father’s Day!
