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.
Henri looks cute.
Congratulations Darren! He’s a real cutie and I love the name Henri! I wish you and your growing family all the best and I look forward to your return to the blogosphere!!!!
Yay, baby! He’s adorable. ^_^ Congratulations!
Congratulations and Happy Father’s Day. He’s beautiful!
Congratulations! What a cutie :)
Congratulations Darren!
Enjoy your time off with your new born and family.
Very smart daddy for registering the domain name HENRIROWSE.COM. I knew you would do it!
Congrats to you all, enjoy you time off, look forwad to your series while you are away.
Congrats on the new kid, I look forward to seeing the expert advice he’s got on blogging a little later on ;).
Probably a good thing for you and your wife that she’s not pregnant/in labor anymore.
Congratulations Darren! He’s incredibly cute and looks so peaceful.
Congratulations!
Welcome to the world, Henri!

Congratulations to you and V.
Wow congrats! He looks very alert already. Good luck with the new addition to your family!
Congratulations. The baby is adorable. He looks very happy: he must be thinking about all the congrats Daddy got from the post about him:)
Darren, you’ll have to start celebrating Yankee Father’s Day now. If Henri was born on Australian Father day it would be a VERY long labour til September ;)
Congrats on the baby!
So cute!
Hi Darren,
He is adorable boy! Congrats!
Hi Darren
Congratulations to you and V on the birth of Henri.
He looks a great little guy and a blogger in the making!
Well Done!
Pass on my congratulations to your parents.
I hope Henri’s second name is ‘Problogger’ or ‘Pro’ for short.
Let me know when you are ready for Henri to be dedicated, christened and blessed. Part of my blogging service is offering these child blessings via the Internet with all of your thousands of Problogger subscribers in attendance to beam Henri their love and joy in the Comments section.
So easy to do.

Congrats Darren. In a few years you can tell Henri how many people were anxiously awaiting his arrival into the world.
Congrats! He looks so lovely. Your pictures sure remind me of the time when I just gave birth to my girls. The memories are so precious!
Happiness Always,

Congratulations Darren and family… What an auspicious day to become a father, second time!
It’s also good to see how you are adding personal touch to your blog and your communications. Feel even happier to note that you are taking couple of weeks off without compromising your personal life as well as career.

Darren, it’s a good news to every blogger.
Congratulations for giving birth to a new blog named Henri. It is looking so cute. Welcome to Henri into the blogging world.
Congratulations, Darren! Let us know when Henri’s blog goes live. :)
Congratulations! I remember my two kids births like they were yesterday. It is a stressful time but very exciting. Watching child birth is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen, twice! I always encourage new father’s to make sure they witness that. It is truly life changing. I wish the very best for you and your family.
Congratulations Darren! Enjoy the little bundle! Best wishes to both of you!
Congratulations Darren and V,
Your family has now grown by two feet. :)
