A child is born

On 20-12-2005 our son Tim David Jelle van Zuijlekom was born. It all went really fast, just 4 hours of contractions. And my wife only had to push for 7 minutes! He weighed 4450 grams, is rather tall and has blond hair like me :)

Well I'm gone give him his bottle now, he a hungry fellow. As always you can check out the pictures at http://fotos.vzuijlekom.com

I'm gonna be a dad, again!

Yesterday during a christmas service at our church my wive's water broke. We rushed home so my wive could lay down. After the obstetrician came and checked if everything was ok she could walk about.
After a few hours the contractions started comming regularly, but then they suddenly stopped. Since then there have been a few contractions, but nothing wich would help speed up the process. In the Netherlands is common for women to give birth at home, but seeing as it's now more then 24 hours since the water broke, she has to deliver the baby in the hospital.

Tomorrow morning we have to go to the hospital for a CTG. This will register the hart tones for about 45 minutes to give a clear image of the condition the baby is in. If after another day, the contractions haven't started or comming regularly we have to go back to the hostital. Then they will start giving her contraction stimulators.

I'll keep you posted!
