For some reason, our babies just don’t seem to want to come out of their own accord. But today at 12:30, Steph gave birth to Joel by caesarean section. He weighed 8lb 7. Apologies to friends reading this who we have not managed to contact by other means yet.

We are extremely grateful to God for a safe delivery, and for his protection on Joel and Steph. Joel is a Hebrew name, meaning “Yahweh is God”.

I’m off to bed to get some rest now…
