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 on the baby
Congratulations, Darren and V!! Hello, Henri!!
Congratulations to both of you! What a beautiful baby!
Congratulations, Darren. I wish you both the best.
A beautiful boy! Congratulations to the both of you!
Congrats! That is a handsome and adorable baby. I thought he will be the Junior Problogger. It’s really a wonderful feeling of being a proud father.
I am sure he will be proud of you someday. By the way, will you also teach him how to blog? You have now someone to transfer your throne.
Thanks.
Awwww. CUTE BABY!! Congrats, and good job to the wife!
Thanks for sharing the wonderful news and photos!!
How very precious Henri looks.
Best wishes to the whole family and enjoy your family time.
Don’t worry about us, we’ll hold the fort and be here when you get back ;-)
Cheers!

If he was content, must not have needed changed and wasn’t hungry. lol.
I’ve been there. When my kids needed changed or were hungry they all of a sudden found they had a set of lungs. Otherwise they were good baby’s. Have a nice Father’s Day and Hope you enjoy your Paternity Leave.
