Arriving early at 36 weeks and 1 day Theodore Valenti 28th may 8.16 pm Wrexham Maelor hospital 3.62 kg mother and son doing well. After mother scared the shit out of us and needed emergency treatment.

Hats off to the staff at Wrexham fantastic even though they may not see this fantastic humanity and informed consent

Congratulations to you and your good lady and welcome to Theodore.

What's the story behind the names? I'm guessing that with such distinctive choices there must be one.

As usual nothing is ever straight forward with me ...
Theodore was a name Maria liked after rejecting all the names from the Barca squad! :smt012
She does not like Franklin who I liked as an American historical figure... I like virtue names and she wasn't sure about Fidel so Theodore being the antecedent of franklin gave a historical link and a decent short name.

Valenti is the Catalan for valentine another historical figure but also her dads favourite uncle and during the struggle to get the feller out it just seemed right (bravery / valiant )

Congratulations to you all. I am going to make a pig of myself whilst you're in the seat . might even have a real black velvet or 2. Made with champagne since it's such a special occasion!
Just been thinking though, Is it because it's aEuro baby that it was weighed in kilo's. I know myself and my son were both pounds and ounces.
Probably thinking too much, anyway CHEERS TO YOU ALL.
