Baby Dexter Chan Iveson was delivered Monday at 7:46 in the evening via my lovely and resilient wife, Sarah Chan (who for those that don’t know is a music teacher and cycle-chic advocate, via her Girls and Bicycles blog).
He was two weeks ahead of anticipated due date, but he’s a healthy 7lbs 8oz and has big feet like his dad. Friends of ours who happen to be doctors say a baby is ‘fully cooked’ after 37 weeks, and he was 38. I think his mom appreciates that, unlike his dad, he did something ahead of schedule.
Sarah’s back on her feet and happy, and we’re now at home and learning about the ins and outs of parenthood.
Posts might be a bit sparse for a week or two as I focus as much time as I can on family. But I should say that Sarah and I sincerely appreciate all the warm wishes we’ve received from far and wide.
Congratulations again, Don and Sarah! Before you know it, he’ll be riding Dougal around the neighbourhood!
Congrats to you both! Hope you get some sleep ;)
