Sounds like you've had a tough few days/hours! Tell Hev "well done" and to take it easy.

Can't wait to see more of our little nephew/cousin.

Love you loads

Heather & Mark: I've been following your labor (???) for a few days. Look at what a wonderful result. Mark, who would have thought that you'd have such a looker! He's adorable. When you guys land on your feet and come to your folks give me a call so I can run by and have a quick look at him. Take care of yourselves and little Jack.
