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!
Congratulations, man. That’s awesome!
Much peace (when possible :D)
Congrats Darren!
Happy belated Father’s Day!
Congratulations on the birth of your son! You are correct – June 15th is Father’s Day in the US (everyday is Mother’s Day! LOL).
I have been on your web site most of the day learning what I can about blogging. As a member of the “pre-computer” generation I didn’t know that much about it. Your articles have been very helpful!
Happy Father’s Day and Congrats!!

June 15th is my youngest’s birthday. It’s a great day to be born.
Darren, belated congratulations – I missed this news when it was posted as it came three days after my wife gave brith to our second – a baby girl called Lizzie, weighing in at 8lb11 (born 12th June 2008).
I’d forgoten the joy of sleepless nights and dirty nappies.
Have Fun.
Dave
