  • I’m a dad – Again !

    Posted by Gert du Preez on April 27, 2010 at 10:14 pm

    After what seems like a 15 month gestation period, the "little" lad finally saw the light of day at 10h45 this morning.

    A BEAST OF A BOY !!

    Hugo du Preez

    Length: 53 cm
    Weight – (gulp) 4,25kg (that is, 9 pound 5 ounces in old people speak!!)

    He looks like a rugby prop – head and neck the same size!

    I’m so proud, I can burst at the seams!! I will add a photo as soon as I can figure out how to get the darn thing off my cellphone!

    Thanks, all !!

    No party. Yolanda is still in hospital, and I have to entertain the 3 year old. My family is about 400kms away, and the inlaws are in South Africa for a month. My Father-in-law had a back operation last week, and he still has to get a neck operation and heart operation in the weeks to come.

    I’m all alone….. 😥

    Got a piccie off the cell. I hope it works for the attatchment!!
