Thanks!

Dear Families and Friends,

Thank you so much for your presence around us on this special day, for all the messages, the visits, the phone calls. About a thousand views today on the blog, Arthur is now part of your lives.

Some more details about baby: he is 8lbs 10oz (3kg 920g) and 21in (54cm). His full name will be Arthur John Laurent Hervé de La Chapelle, middle name after the male grand parents.

Good night!

At the hospital! Still!

First feat of awesome parenting on our part: baby has somehow already inherited our legendary sense of punctuality. His agent has informed us that he may be ok to meet us in the course of the night, if not tomorrow.

In the meantime, we’re posting a few outtakes stolen from the rushes of a photo shoot made by our talented friend Philippe Gosset. Last shot at stardom for us because I’m afraid that tomorrow belongs to baby.

At the hospital!

Baby has been taking his sweet time but now this is it! Water broke, lease has expired. The goal is to get him out before St Patrick’s Day, for obvious reasons. More soon…
