Joska (pronounced as a y) was born at 6.07 on wednesday the 7th of march 2012, weighing 7 pound 15 ounces ( 3.6 kilo) with his arm up by his face. As I've heard say the fourth baby can be unpredictable and such was the case for us, with labour VEERRYYY slow and never really kicking up a gear (although the intensity of the contractions did), still being anywhere from 1 to 8 minutes apart at the end. He is a hungry little critter and very cute and much loved.
R.I.P Wim van der Ploeg, my uncle by marriage and a very kind man, who sadly lost the battle to cancer in Holland the same day. Love to all thee family there.
